Chapter 243 Cirrus Cloud Ring White Dragon

"Oh? I wonder what a big deal it is?"

Qian Shaobai came to Shiliang Twelve Villages this time to spy on the number of troops and fortifications of each bandit village, and to find out the changed terrain and road after the flood, so that the follow-up army can clear it up.

"The Twelve Villages in Shiliang used to be independent, and each other made a living on their own land, so it's considered well water and river water." Chen Dadang put down his wine bowl: "But in the past two years, Bailong Village has become more and more prosperous. The money and food are abundant, and even a court official army is brought under his command, and the soldiers are abundant.

The head of Bailongzhai's family is Hong Shangwu, and with a command arrow, Fangyuan counties and counties can obediently donate money and food.Those county guards and county magistrates were all terrified. If they were lucky, they could escape in time. "

"Human flesh is too fishy to taste." Qian Shaobai deliberately pretended to be a green forest.

Master Chen smiled stiffly, thinking that this Qian Duo Qian Xianchang is really a ruthless character.

"A few days ago, Bailongzhai sent an order to invite all the villages to come and discuss major issues." Master Chen said, "Actually, we also know that Bailongzhai intends to take this opportunity to annex the Twelve Villages. There is a lot of confusion on the forest road, this is planning to bring all kinds of people down the mountain, occupy a piece of land and dominate."

Qian Shaobai raised his eyebrows lightly: "Nowadays the world is full of wars, it's not surprising that Bailongzhai has such thoughts. Could it be that Master Chen doesn't want to get involved in this matter?"

"Even if I don't want to, how can I stop it?" Chen Dadao said helplessly: "But our family in Liuyezhai is weak, I am afraid that we will not get any benefits in the future, so we will be sent to fight with the imperial army."

Qian Shaobai secretly laughed, this Master Chen still has some self-knowledge.But if the Shiliang Twelve Villages were to be merged into one, it would definitely not stop at capturing the city and territory along the Shiliang River.

If these bandits are allowed to separate themselves, or even continue to operate for a long time, they will have to pay a higher price to eliminate them in the future.

But today's Youxiong Country really can't afford such a waste, ten years of catastrophe, and during this period, there were several confrontations with Yaochi Country and Xuanming Country, and there can't be much victory.

But just maintaining this situation has consumed a lot of people's energy, and the Fourth Immortal and the disciples of Shangjingzong are also exhausted.The foundation of national strength accumulated with great difficulty in the past ten years of the elimination of soldiers in Shouyang was exhausted in the following ten years, and the state affairs even became more difficult than before the elimination of soldiers.

"Then I don't know what Master Chen wants Qian to do?" Qian Shaobai was already thinking about it. If the Twelve Villages were merged into one family, Guan Shiping's soldiers and horses alone would definitely not be able to suppress the bandits. After ruining the plan of Bailongzhai, and adopting various strategies to defeat it in the future, it may be able to reverse the situation.

"I heard that Hong Shangwu invited the leaders of the villages this time, and there is another important matter." Chen Dadang took a sip of wine to moisten his throat: "I heard that the hilltop they occupy in Bailongzhai is not an ordinary place, and the Longtan in the mountain is One of the sources of the Shiliang River, it is rumored that there was a dragon hiding in it in ancient times."

Qian Shaobai raised his bowl for a moment, but in a hurry, he couldn't remember any stories about dragons and dragons in the area of ​​Shiliang River, so he heard Chen Dadang continue to say:
"Hong Shangwu's order to issue arrows this time is not only to discuss the merger of the villages, but also to invite all kinds of experts to open the Jiaolong Cave in the depths of Longtan. If there is any panacea in it, it is natural to honor these experts, and the cave The gold and silver treasures in the treasure will be used as funds for recruiting troops in the future."

"I understand." Qian Shaobai said with a smile: "Master Chen hopes that Qian can open this Jiaolong Cave Mansion first, even if he can't monopolize the treasures inside, it can also give Liuye Village a bit more confidence, so that he won't be caught. Bailongzhai was easily annexed. Is that right?"

"Immortal Qian is like a god, and the villain admires it." Master Chen said: "Actually, Bailongzhai also enshrined several immortal cultivators. They tried to open the cave several times, but in vain. The top of the mountain is shining, and it can be seen at night, so everyone knows it.

Hong Shangwu was forced to question by the various villages, and he had no choice but to confess that there was Jiaolong Cave Mansion in Longtan.I was thinking, Qian Xian is good at flying swords, and I think he is much better than those wild roads enshrined in Bailongzhai.Isn't it easy to open the Jiaolong Cave Mansion? "

Qian Shaobai was not carried away by the praise, but just heard from the other party that the Longtan can shine at night, if it is not a sign of the birth of rare treasures in the cave, or it is an expert in the immortal family who is refining Qi and channeling spirits, in short, the phenomena of heaven and earth are extraordinary.

It's just that for a monk like Qian Shaobai who came from a famous sect, the birth of rare treasures in the cave may not always be a good thing.

Qian Shaobai guessed that the head of Hong Village in Bailong Village probably didn't know how valuable the real Jiaolong Cave Mansion was. If the news was true and credible, it would probably attract immortal masters to fight for it, and even attract evil spirits to covet it.

At that time, the masters and capable people from all sides will fight in the dark for the Jiaolong Cave Mansion, how many lives and foundations can he leave behind in Bailongzhai?This kind of news should not be spread everywhere, and the opening of the cave should not make too much noise.

However, as Master Chen said, the monks enshrined in Bailongzhai may not be disciples of some great sects, they are probably some casual cultivators with shallow background and lack of prudence and foresight in their actions. This result is also expected.

Thinking about it this way, the so-called Jiaolong Cave Mansion is not credible.If it was really the Water Mansion Dragon Palace built by Jiaolong, Qian Shaobai would have enough reason to ask one of the four fairies to come forward, and it would not be difficult to wipe out the Shiliang Twelve Villages by then.

"Okay! I want to see what is the mystery of this Flood Dragon Cave Mansion!" Qian Shaobai made up his mind to personally explore this Dragon Lake and Tiger Cave.

……

The mighty breeze blows, wipes the mountains and forests, rolls the waves, and blows the banners in the village to flutter.

"Look, there's movement again."

In Bailongzhai, a gatekeeper signaled to a distant mountain with his companion on the opposite side.

"Fei Xianchang and the others are working on the Laoshizi Cave Mansion in Longtan again?" The companion looked up, and saw the blue sky that was originally clear, and clouds and mist appeared for no reason to cover the top of the mountain, circling endlessly, and piling up more and more.

"Could it be that there is really a dragon in this mountain?" Minion asked curiously.

The companion on the opposite side said: "When I was young, I heard from the old man that the Juyi Hall in the village was the temple where the Lord Dragon was worshipped, but I didn't see any spiritual response."

"If there was a spiritual response, wouldn't that dragon immediately rush out and blow up your village?" A sarcasm came from the side.

The two gatekeepers were taken aback, and when they turned around, they saw a figure with the appearance of a swordsman coming outside the gate of the village, but his eyes were fixed on the cloud-shrouded hill, and a group of bandits hurriedly came behind.

"Which village are you from?" asked the gatekeeper.

Without saying a word, Qian Shaobai just slapped him across the face: "A watchdog, who made you talk like that?"

The gatekeeper was beaten, and commotion was immediately caused inside and outside the gate of the village. Someone rang the alarm bell to send a message, and hundreds of minions rushed towards the gate in a hurry. From a distance, they could see the tips of spears shaking like a forest.

Master Chen was so frightened that he hurriedly tried to dissuade him: "Oh! What is Qian Xianchang doing?"

"Bailongzhai is powerful. If we blindly submit, we will make them look down on us. Maybe they won't even be able to get close to Longtan." Qian Shaobai understood these green forest heroes, and in the final analysis, he relied on his bravery and blood to convince everyone. Being gentle and refined won't get things done: "Don't be flustered, let's see how I can open their eyes."

As soon as the words fell, the gate of the village was opened, and hundreds of minions in double crotch armor came out with spears. Shoot the incoming enemies.

"Which short-sighted idiot dares to provoke me in Bailongzhai?" A loud shout came from behind, and a man with a big knife walked out.

"Liuye village has a lot of money, so I'm here to pay you a visit!" Qian Shaobai was not polite, he drew his sword finger, and the sword flew out of its sheath behind him, stabbing the man with the knife straight away.

The man with the knife was on guard, and instinctively raised his head, the blade was cut in half by the flying sword, and swept forward, like a rainbow of sword energy scratching the corner of the man's eyebrows, which made him cry out in surprise, and quickly retreated into the rear spear array among.

"Where are you going to escape?!" Qian Shaobai waved his sword, and the flying sword moved freely among the spear formations, like fish swimming between aquatic plants, cutting off the spear heads with ease, and even shaved the hair of the minions from time to time. Falling, messing up the formation, deliberately showing the exquisite swordsmanship.

In fact, Qian Shaobai's swordsmanship attainment can only be regarded as mediocre among the junior disciples of Shangjingzong, and the most profound swordsmanship in Shangjingzong is Yi Zhenzi, one of the four immortals.

This senior has been able to refine the tangible and qualitative flying sword into an invisible sword aura, which fits with the body. When he opens his mouth, he can create a mighty sword aura that cuts peaks and divides rivers. Standing still, he has a frightening sword aura. How can you use flying swords like yourself to scare people?

With a pass of Yujian, the spear array was disturbed by himself, and occasionally a few crossbowmen shot arrows, but they were also blocked by the rainbow sword energy.

"How? With this level of ability, can you provoke Bailongzhai?" Qian Shaobai put his sword away and smiled.

The man with the knife wiped the blood from his face: "You... Immortal Chief is the leader of Liuye Village?"

"That's right, Immortal Qian is now the third head of my Liuye village, don't take it seriously!" Master Chen stepped forward to introduce him, he was secretly proud of seeing Bailong village suffer.

The man with the knife did not expect that the impoverished Liuye Village would receive such great help out of thin air. He could only hold back his anger, stood up and cupped his hands, and changed his face: "It turned out to be the head of the Immortal Qian, but I was the little brother just now. I have no eyes, please forgive me! Master Hong The banquet has already been set, and we are waiting for everyone in Liuye Village!"

"Then lead the way." Qian Shaobai still had an arrogant attitude.

The man with the knife didn't hesitate, he asked his subordinates to report first, and then led Qian Shaobai and his party into the village.

Qian Shaobai did not forget to carefully observe the terrain and fortifications along the way. Compared with the unsightly Liuye Village, the Bailong Village occupies a large area. He only entered from the west gate of the village and found that the surrounding walls are continuous, with watchtowers, piers, abutments, Arrow towers, sentry posts, and flint castles are arranged in a continuous and orderly manner on the hills, covering a large area of ​​mountains.

And on the wall of the stronghold, minions with bows and crossbows kept watch on the enemy, infantry with swords and spears took turns taking positions, and even servants with baskets and pots on their backs brought syrup and water to quench their thirst.As for the outside of the cottage, from time to time there would be detectives riding fast horses back by land, and there were boats on the distant water park carrying large sums of money and food to and from the camp.

It can be said that Bailongzhai can no longer be described as a bandit village. The layout is well-organized, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is a military town.

Considering those minions wearing the standard double crotch armor and the powerful crossbows that are only issued in the army, it seems that Bailongzhai not only recruited an imperial army, but also gradually changed the appearance of bandits and water bandits.

This situation is what Qian Shaobai is most worried about. He is not afraid of bandits looting, but he is afraid that bandits will invite people's hearts and gradually grow up.

But compared to Bailongzhai, Qian Shaobai paid more attention to the turbulent situation on the hills in the distance.He could sense that it was not an ordinary cloud, but a stream of pure pure air.

The reason why the cloud circles around the mountain peak is not only because of the abnormality of the ground veins, but also because it was summoned by magic.

When Qian Shaobai was cultivating in Tiancheng Mountain, he often saw the changes in the color of the clouds under the five peaks.Members of Shangjing sect have achieved success in practicing the three-light magic method, and their bodies are radiant. They can condense clouds with light, and they can be refined into clouds, which can fly into the void, and can also protect and hold fetal immortals out of their bodies.

Seeing such a large expanse of clear clouds hovering and circling, Qian Shaobai couldn't help but feel suspicious, if it was born in a cave, this vision doesn't seem to come from within.Qian Shaobai also vaguely sensed that the qi from all directions were converging towards Bailongzhai, it was as if an expert ascended to the altar.

Shangjingzong is also proficient in scientific rituals and rituals, although most outsiders don't notice, but Qian Shaobai knows that Han Yuanzi, the current master, is actually a master of rituals.

And judging from the group of Zhi Qingyun, if someone really did it by going to the altar, even if his ability is not as good as that of Han Yuanzi, I'm afraid it will not be far behind.

For some reason, Qian Shaobai suddenly thought of the Marquis of Zhenming in Huaxu Kingdom. He heard that he was the descendant of the Tianxia Dynasty's praise officer, and he had studied deeply in the rituals and rituals.If he could be won over to Xiongguo back then, firstly, Xiongguo would definitely inherit Tianxia's orthodoxy, and secondly, he would worship and assist the army, which would help to calm down the troubled times as soon as possible.

It's a pity that Zhao Mi went astray and died.

"Master Chen, you are so capable, you can invite such a master to help you."

Outside the Juyi Hall, Hong Shangwu, with a beard reaching his chest and a majestic appearance, led the crowd out.

When Chen Dadang saw other village owners standing behind Hong Shangwu, his heart was filled with anger. Even though he was half short, he understood that Hong Shangwu didn't pay attention to Liuye Village at all. The merger of Shiliang Twelve Villages might have already happened. It's settled.

"Ashamed." Master Chen was terrified, he really didn't know how to answer, so he bowed his head and cupped his hands.

But I saw Immortal Qian standing beside me proudly: "Oh? This is the Lord Hong of Bailong Village? I thought it was a green forest and grass, but I didn't expect it to be a disciple of Chongxu Mountain. Breathing out true energy everywhere , you have an air of humility, coupled with your feet rooted on the ground, and your body is steady, it seems that you have indeed acquired a bit of true inheritance from Chongxu Mountain's Taoist martial arts."

As soon as this remark came out, all parties looked at the Lord Bailong with suspicion. Hong Shangwu himself couldn't hide his shocked expression.

However, Hong Shangwu was not annoyed when his secrets were exposed, and instead he laughed loudly: "I just occasionally got some advice from my seniors, I dare not pretend to be a disciple of Chongxu Mountain, otherwise I will make my colleagues laugh!"
