Qingshi County is a small county with a population of just over 20,000. It is under the jurisdiction of the Jiutai Mountains of the Ye family.

After all, the county town is not big, and there is a high wall blocking it. The monks stationed here by the Ye family are only at the fourth level of Qi Refining. The main purpose of the stationed monks is to prevent the invasion of monsters.

Although the strength of the monks stationed there is not high, for ordinary people, having monks stationed there makes them feel more at ease.

It was already afternoon when Ye Tongxuan arrived in Qingshi County, and there was still some distance to go from Jiutai Mountain. He planned to rest in Qingshi County for a day before rushing to Jiutai Mountain. He also took this opportunity to learn about the specific situation around Jiutai Mountain.

Because it was still daytime, the gate of Qingshi County was wide open, and Ye Tongxuan entered the county easily.

This was the first time Ye Tongxuan had gone down the mountain to see the world outside the mountain gate since he had been practicing in this world. He was also full of curiosity about all this.

The market has not dispersed yet, there are still many vendors gathered around the road, and Ye Tongxuan can still hear the cries of many vendors.

Most of the people in the county are mortals who have lived here for a long time, and there are also some ordinary merchants passing through. There are only a few monks on the streets.

This is just a city where mortals live, and what is traded is basically daily necessities used by mortals. Most monks would rather stay in Jiutai Mountain, where most of what is traded are resources that monks need.

Ye Tongxuan restrained his aura and did not reveal his cultivation level at the seventh level of Qi Refining. Since arriving in this world, he has been concentrating on his cultivation and has no time to go down the mountain and wander around.

This time he was passing through Qingshi County, and he didn't want to miss this opportunity to relax.

As Ye Tongxuan walked around, he used his own senses to feel the surrounding situation. Suddenly, he was keenly aware of something different.

Although he has restrained his aura, Ye Tongxuan still has the keen perception of a monk. In addition, after studying the "Hongmeng Taoist Scripture" for a long time, his perception is actually not inferior to that of the monks of Qi Refining Dzogchen.

Ye Tongxuan looked up and found two women with veils standing not far away. The two women were stopping in front of a vendor and looking at the vendor's items.

He had always been cautious, and his intuition told him that the two women were not simple. Ye Tongxuan immediately gave up the idea of ​​continuing to explore with his senses.

Although the two people covered their faces with veils, Ye Tongxuan, as a monk in the late stage of Qi refining, had much better eyesight than ordinary people.

The two women seemed to have a master-servant relationship. One of them stood slightly behind, always half a body behind the other.

Like Ye Tongxuan, they all restrained their auras. In the eyes of ordinary people, they were no different from ordinary people. This kind of blinding method could only be hidden from ordinary people, but Ye Tongxuan could still feel the difference between the two.

Ye Tongxuan was looking at it, and one of the women seemed to have noticed something. She chatted in a low voice and turned to look at Ye Tongxuan.

They are a pair of extremely bright eyes, with a hint of coldness. Even through a veil, those eyes can capture people's hearts.

Seeing that he was discovered, Ye Tongxuan's heart skipped a beat. He quickly turned to the stall next to him, picked up a piece of goods, and pretended to talk to the vendor.

"With a friendly eye, my hemorrhoid ointment is proven to be effective. It is guaranteed to cure the disease." The stall owner was an old man with a long beard. When he saw Ye Tongxuan picking up his goods, he quickly started selling them.

Ye Tongxuan took a closer look and found that he was actually standing in front of a stall selling hemorrhoid ointment. At this moment, he was picking up a box of medicine in his hand.

He couldn't help but smile, and was about to explain, but the old man took over the topic, "Don't worry, little friend, I have been selling ointments here for more than ten years, and I will never harm you.

You might as well take a box back and give it a try, I promise you will come again. One tael of silver per box, three boxes of 2 taels, and you will be safe!"

At this point, Ye Tongxuan couldn't argue, so he could only say: "It's not me, it's me who has a friend..."

The old man patted Ye Tongxuan on the shoulder and gave him a look of understanding, "I know, then help your friend bring a box back. I guarantee that the medicine will cure the disease."

Hearing this, the veiled woman burst into laughter. Although Ye Tongxuan did not turn his head to see, his ears could hear it very clearly. The sound was as clear as a clear spring striking a stone.

Ye Tongxuan didn't want to be entangled any longer, so he quickly gave the old man a couple of coins and ended this useless conversation.

When he turned around again, the two women no longer knew where they were going.

A feeling of loss suddenly appeared in his heart. Ye Tongxuan shook his head slightly, threw this feeling behind his mind, and quickly headed to Qingshi County.

On the street corner in Qingshi County, two veiled women were already walking together.

One of them joked: "Young lady is really very charming. If you take off the veil, I don't know how many young talents you will be fascinated by."

The woman who was called Miss couldn't see her expression because her face was covered by a veil. She just said: "Grandma Rong, please stop teasing me. The mortal market is so lively. Let's go back quickly."

"What the lady said is that we have important matters this time, so we should not stay here too long." The female cultivator who spoke first waved her hand, and the space in front of her suddenly became distorted. The two of them stepped in together, and then disappeared.

.

The Qingshi County Government House is located on an important traffic thoroughfare in the county. Ye Tongxuan took out his identity token and went straight into the County Government House.

The magistrate of Qingshi County is named Ding Hongru. He is a mortal with no cultivation. All matters in the county, large and small, are under his jurisdiction.

The monks stationed here will not interfere too much in the affairs of the county. Most of the time, they will only come forward to maintain stability when encountering emergencies.

"When the Immortal Master came to Qingshi County, it was really a sin that the officials didn't go far to welcome him. Immortal Master, hurry up and invite him inside." Ding Hongru had already begun to put on weight when he reached middle age. The hair on his head also began to lose its tissue and become increasingly sparse.

"What did Magistrate Ding say? Ye has just been transferred to Jiutai Mountain and happened to be passing through Qingshi County, so he came here to take a look." Ye Tongxuan said in a calm tone.

Ding Hongru stretched out his hand and said: "Master Immortal is young and promising. With you stationed here, we feel much more at ease."

Ye Tongxuan subconsciously stretched out his hand and found that his right hand was still holding the hemorrhoid ointment he had just bought from the vendor. In desperation, he stuffed it into his pocket calmly, freed his hand to hold it with Ding Hongru.

With such a close distance, Ding Hongru could clearly see Ye Tongxuan's movements. However, he did not say anything and just secretly wrote down the name of the ointment.

After the two sat down, Ye Tongxuan asked: "Where are the monks stationed here now?"

Ding Hongru explained: "A monster has just entered the county, and Xia Xianshi is destroying it."

"How could a monster appear in the county? How powerful is it?" Ye Tongxuan was a little confused.

Logically speaking, Qingshi County is surrounded by tall city walls and there are troops patrolling the walls, so monsters should not be allowed to enter the city.

"Master Immortal, don't worry. Recently, the family has reduced the expenditure on city defense. It is inevitable that there will be some negligence in defending the city. However, the Immortal Master stationed here has already rushed over. I believe that the monsters will be killed soon." Ding Hongru said, with a tone of voice.

I can't hear any worry.

After all, the walls of Qingshi County are tall. If a powerful monster really appears, it will not sneak in. In addition, Qingshi County is surrounded by Jiutai Mountain for protection, so no large monsters will appear. Occasionally, some fish that slip through the net will sneak into the county, but their strength is not high.

It would be too strong, and the stationed monks would be able to deal with it.

Ye Tongxuan nodded. Since Qingshi County is confident of destroying the monsters, he doesn't need to take action anymore.

At this moment, a figure stumbled in and said loudly: "County Magistrate Ding, the immortal master was injured by the monster. Please ask the magistrate to go to the rescue."
