The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Chapter 290: Going deep behind enemy lines (please subscribe!)
  As soon as Xu Zhiyu walked out of the room, by coincidence, he saw Xu Shengxiao, the sixteenth grandfather, walking from a distance. Behind him were seven or eight clansmen who were in the Qi training period. As they walked, they were still giving instructions to the clansmen. I didn't see him standing at the door after leaving seclusion.

The sharp-eyed tribesman saw him from afar and reminded him in a low voice:

"Grandpa Sixteen, look, my brother Nineteen is out of prison!"

After hearing what his grandson said, Xu Shengxiao looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough he saw him standing at the door with a smile.

"Yu'er, it's great that you're out of seclusion! Originally, I was going to forcefully knock on the seclusion to tell you to come out!"

Xu Shengxiao used a lightening technique and came directly in front of him. He was surprised and said eagerly.

Xu Zhiyu's heart skipped a beat when he said this, wondering what happened to the family?
  "Grandpa Sixteen, what happened? I need you to knock on the door!"

Xu Shengxiao sighed, frowned, and said in a deep voice:

"I have just received an order from the headquarters. All members of the Xu family have gathered at the 'General Affairs Hall' to be dispatched! I guess there is a task that needs to be completed by the family!"

"What about the ancestor? Where is he now?"

Since the whole family was gathering, he didn't see the ancestor, which made him feel a little strange. He just released his spiritual consciousness and scanned the family station, and found that everyone in the family except the ancestor was there, so he had this question.

"The ancestor was sent out by the headquarters to perform a mission three months ago, and he hasn't come back yet!" Xu Shengxiao replied.

"Okay! Let's gather the clan members first, and let's go to the 'General Affairs Hall' together to see what kind of mission we are going to perform?"

In just a moment, the clan members gathered together. After counting the number of people, they opened the formation at the station and headed towards the headquarters' General Affairs Hall under the leadership of Xu Shengxiao.

Passing by the door of the camp next door, I happened to bump into a few monks walking out of it. The two parties had some friendship, so they greeted each other and left.

Stationed here is a Taiyang Building branch located in the mainland of Yue Kingdom. The shopkeeper's surname is Liu, and he leads more than 80 monks in the building to apply for the battlefield of Zhengmo. However, after performing two headquarters missions, the number of monks is now only The second half was less than half, and the casualties were heavy.

Seeing everyone in the Xu family walking away, shopkeeper Liu's disciple began to whisper:

"We have been here for nearly three years, and we have never seen the entire Xu family go out on missions. Even if they did, they would carry out some risk-free missions in Fang City. This time, it is their turn to feel the cruelty of war. !”

He said this with a bit of gloating, but was stopped by shopkeeper Liu.

"Don't make irresponsible remarks about the rights and wrongs of others. Just do your own thing. The division is fair. Those who bleed will not be allowed to bleed, and those who are hiding from peace will not be allowed to hide from peace!"

At first glance, these words sounded like a rebuke to his subordinates, but there was no hint of jealousy in them. He had actually always been envious and jealous of his neighbor who had always stayed at the station and had never carried out dangerous tasks. He also felt that it was unfair. Seeing the Xu family out in action at this time made me feel happy. Although I didn't know why I was happy, I was in a happy mood.

If Xu Zhiyu hears these words, he will definitely argue with them and tell them that he has also shed blood and made meritorious service for the branch alliance. The comfortable life of their family in recent years did not fall from the sky, but was obtained by him. Fighting for his life.

After the investigation, everyone in the Xu family walked through the formation and arrived at the headquarters' General Affairs Hall, which they had only heard of but not seen. The first thing that caught their eyes was an extremely wide space.

There are several large pillars of unknown material supporting the main hall. Mountains, rivers, flowers, trees, rare birds and animals are engraved on them, and many restrictions appear on them, making it appear mysterious and unusual.

Looking up, the entire hall was a thousand feet wide, and there was a lot of people inside. It seemed that they were not the only ones who had received orders to come here to receive tasks.

Just when Xu Shengxiao was about to tell Xu Zhengji to inquire about it, he saw a monk coming towards him. After a closer look, he saw that the person who came was none other than Shan Fei'er, who had had many dealings with him.

"I've met Senior Shan!" Everyone present was lower than her in cultivation, and they all bowed and saluted.

"You don't have to be polite!" Shan Fei'er raised one hand to indicate that they didn't need to be polite. After being polite, she pointed at Xu Zhiyu and Xu Shengxiao and said:

"You two come with me!"

The two of them did not dare to delay. They greeted Xu Zhengji and followed closely.

Shan Fei'er led them through door after door, and finally came to an attic, which was remote and very quiet.

"You two, my father is currently in retreat. Before the retreat, he told me about the Xu family's mission and asked me to convey it on my behalf!"

After entering the attic, Shan Fei'er directly conveyed Shan Zhenjun's order without any nonsense. Xu Shengxiao was quite surprised by this. Their Xu family was a Zifu family. How could He De let the head of the branch directly assign tasks?

However, Xu Zhiyu had some guesses about this. He estimated that it was related to what Granny Wen told him. Although he was not entirely sure, it should be good.

"In seven days, the Xu family will follow the Jindan master of our headquarters to carry out a secret mission in Yongzhou. The specific mission will be informed in detail before departure!" Shan Fei'er said seriously.

"Going to Yongzhou, what are you going there for? Could it be that the Demon Sect is coming to attack the east and west, and is planning to raid Yongzhou?" Both the grandfather and grandson were confused. They didn't know what Zhenjun meant by assigning this task, but they could only suppress their doubts first. In my heart, I accepted the task.

"In that case, senior, let's say goodbye first and go back to prepare!"

Xu Sheng was filial, and what he said was right. Because the notice from the headquarters was too urgent, the whole family rushed to the 'General Affairs Hall' without any preparation. But now that they heard that there were still seven days before the departure date, they planned to go home to prepare.

Unexpectedly, Shan Feier shook her head gently and said:

"The mission I just mentioned does not include fellow Taoist Xu Zhiyu. He has another mission to perform!"

"Okay! Can I go and see off the family elders?" he asked. He had just seen Grandpa Sixteen preparing to ask something. He was afraid of upsetting Shan Fei'er, a cultivator of the Zifu, so he spoke first.

"Okay, go back quickly!" After saying this, Shan Feier ignored them and went straight to the second floor.

The two of them had their own thoughts and left the attic side by side and came to a deserted place to talk. He spoke first: "Grandpa Sixteen, this is a newly drawn talisman when I was in seclusion. It is called the Tiangang Puppet Talisman. It has extraordinary power. Bring these to Uncle Twenty-nine and the others for self-defense."

"Yu'er, why didn't you just let me ask Senior Shan what mission you wanted to perform alone?"

Xu Shengxiao asked after receiving the three talismans into the storage bag.

"It's useless. Can we refuse the task assigned by True Lord Yuanying? Let's take it one step at a time! Now that the ancestor has not returned from the task, the next heavy responsibility of leading the clan will fall on you. Let you Don’t worry about being tired!”

He explained, and at the same time expressed concern about the family's next mission. He was not too worried about the mission he was about to perform.

"What are you talking about? The safety of my clan members is left to me! Don't worry too much, but you should be careful about your own safety. If something goes wrong, save your life first!" Xu Shengsheng asked earnestly.

Next, Xu Zhiyu handed over the power and usage of the Tiangang Puppet Talisman to Xu Shengxiao, then reluctantly said goodbye and returned to the attic.

What he didn't expect was that when he returned to the attic, there were three more monks waiting inside. Because he didn't know them, he didn't talk to them rashly, but waited quietly for Shan Feier to show up. No need to ask, these people It should be related to the next task.

Four more foundation-building monks came one after another. Including himself, there were eight foundation-building monks, including two in the late stage of foundation building and six like him in the middle stage of foundation building.

Apart from him, Xu Zhiyu discovered that the rest of them were acquaintances. They were talking to each other at this time, and they were talking about nothing more than the next task and exchanging information they knew.

About a quarter of an hour after everyone arrived, Shan Fei'er came down from the second floor. The foundation-building monks present all bowed and bowed to see him. He waved his hands and said with a majestic look:

"Fellow Taoists, on behalf of the leader of this department, Shan Zhenjun, I am now issuing a mission to you. This mission is top secret and I will convey it to you on your behalf."

"According to the investigation of the branch alliance, there is a small spiritual stone vein in the area occupied by the Demon Sect. It is located about 30,000 miles away from the border between the two sides. There is a stronghold of the Demon Sect guarding the mine. They have arrested many monks from our Righteous Alliance. , seal the Dantian, and mine for them. Your mission this time is to destroy the stronghold so that they cannot mine normally, and at the same time, rescue the monks of the Righteous Alliance who are being mined by the Demon Sect as coolies!"

Many foundation-building monks took a breath after hearing this. The difficulty of this task is not simple. Crossing thirty thousand miles is equivalent to going deep behind enemy lines. Once you fall in, you may not be able to come back.

Shan Feier glanced down and continued:

"This mission is led by these two late-stage foundation builders. The alliance knows that this mission is very dangerous, so we have prepared two treasures for you!" As he said this, he turned his left hand and two appeared. The jade box was sealed with a magic talisman, but I didn't see anything special about it.

Then the two newly designated monks in the late stage of foundation building stood up. One introduced himself as Zhuang. He looked like a middle-aged man and looked quite shrewd. The other was named Xie. He looked like a young man with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. He exuded a fierce aura. .

Shan Fei'er moved her palm slightly, and the jade box came into their hands. She glanced at everyone again, and then continued to give instructions with a sinister look on her face:

"The detailed location of the mission and the treasures of the destruction formation are all in the jade box. You can set off now! I want to remind you one thing here. My father is solely responsible for this matter and no one else knows about it. So from now on, you Everyone must supervise each other, do not act alone, and go directly to the mission location! If even the slightest information leaks out, let alone what kind of punishment you will receive from the branch alliance, if the Demon Cult finds out and someone sets a trap first, your I don’t need to say more about the outcome, right?”

"Yes"

Everyone responded with their hands raised. Regardless of whether you like it or not, if you are in a torrent, you have no choice but to go with it.

Zhuang and Xie, two late-stage foundation-building monks, looked at each other and turned around. Among them, monk surnamed Zhuang had the highest cultivation level, reaching the ninth level of foundation-building. He stood up, faced the six foundation builders standing below, cleared his throat, and said loudly:

"Fellow Taoists, I will inform you of the detailed arrangements on the way. We will set off immediately!"

As he spoke, the monk surnamed Zhuang flashed his eyes, walked through the crowd, walked in front, and began to stride towards the door of the 'General Affairs Hall'.

"yes!
  Xu Zhiyu and others replied with a cupped hand, and then followed closely.

A group of people passed through Fang City. The monks on the street basically ignored this team. The two monks in the late stage of foundation construction and six in the middle stage of foundation construction were like a drop of water in the lake in Kuixingfang City where there were so many masters. , inconspicuous at all, and this is exactly what they want. This time they are carrying out a secret mission to insert themselves behind enemy lines. Of course, the less people know about it, the better.

The eight foundation-building monks walked quickly and left the city gate in a short while.

After leaving the city gate, the monk surnamed Zhuang had no expression on his face. He patted the storage bag on his waist and immediately flew out a gray spirit boat, which was suspended three feet above the ground and then quickly grew in size.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a gray building ship that was five to six feet long and two feet wide. It was completely gray and without too many decorations. There was a logo of the Wuji Sword Sect printed on the side of the bow.

Speaking of the Wuji Sword Sect, it is also a famous large sect. The sect is located in Chu State, which is adjacent to the Qin State. Although it is not listed in the "one hall, one floor, three palaces and five sects", there are two Yuanmen in its sect. Ancestor Ying exists, and he is also a giant.

"It seems that this monk surnamed Zhuang comes from the Wuji Sword Sect! But that's right. The third branch of the branch alliance is composed of Taiyang Tower and Wuji Sword Sect. The ones who perform the tasks should also be disciples of these two major forces. Judging from their performance just now, it can be roughly divided into As two factions, this also verified my idea, but it made me a little embarrassed. The family was temporarily assigned to Taiyang Tower, leaving me with no acquaintances!" Xu Zhiyu thought.

The aura of the entire flying boat is restrained and there is not much spiritual energy fluctuation. It is obviously very suitable for executing the infiltration plan. The flying boat was ready to go. The monk surnamed Zhuang jumped on it first, then turned to look at everyone and shouted in a low voice:
  "Set off"

When Xu Zhiyu and others saw this, they didn't hesitate. They jumped to a height of two to three feet and boarded the flying boat. After everyone was seated firmly, the monk surnamed Zhuang looked serious and began to use his hands to seal the magic spells towards the flying boat.

As a ray of light lit up on the gray flying boat, the whole body trembled, exuding some momentum. The flying boat began to take off, until it was a hundred feet away, and then it began to fly rapidly towards the south.

Looking from a distance, a huge gray stream of light was in the sky, passing by, gradually turning into a small black spot and disappearing from sight.

Xu Zhiyu's heart was calm at this moment, without any sense of urgency before the war. Maybe it was because he had experienced too much, maybe he had experienced many big scenes before, or maybe he had gradually become accustomed to this kind of life of killing!

What he didn't know was that as soon as they left Fangshi, Master Jindan in black robes was quietly following behind them.

Among the eight people on this mission, the cultivator surnamed Zhuang, who is on the ninth level of the foundation building, is naturally the leader of the team, and the remaining monk surnamed Xie is on the eighth level of the foundation building. All the execution details were finalized by the two of them, and the remaining six people only had to follow the instructions.

After the monk surnamed Zhuang planned the route of the flying boat, he and the monk surnamed Xie began to discuss with each other.

Xu Zhiyu was also looking aimlessly at the scenery under the flying boat, wondering when such days would end? If possible, he really wanted to leave now.
