Divine consciousness is not like eyesight. If someone stares at someone, he may not be able to detect it. But if the spiritual consciousness goes around someone's body and the strength is not much different, it will definitely be noticed by others. After all, people also have spiritual consciousness.
Knowledge, not a fool...
When Ye Qian found out that the elder of this small run-down village was actually a second-level king warrior, Ye Qian immediately withdrew his consciousness and just stayed outside the house, not daring to investigate the elder at all.
Fortunately, the elder sounded like a bad old man, and he was not a stunning beauty. Ye Qian was too lazy to see what the elder looked like, so he could just listen here.
"Taru pays homage to the elder!" The towering strong man knelt down with a thud as soon as he entered the room. It seemed that the power of this elder was quite high.
"I ordered you to search for the thief who stole the clan artifacts. Did you find anything?" the elder asked.
Although the old man's voice was extremely indifferent, Tarrou was still very frightened. After shrinking for a moment, he bravely replied: "Report to the elders, we have searched all the way and walked hundreds of miles. There is no trace of anything in the jungle at all."
There were no signs until later... when we were about to leave the Qingyun Mountains, we discovered a group of adventurers..."
"A team of adventurers? Huh, they are indeed these damn scum!" When the elder heard that they were adventurers, he immediately became furious.
Seeing that Tarrou seemed to have something to say, he paused and asked, "What's wrong with those adventurers?"
"Report to the elder, we didn't find anything on the way out, but we found a few adventurers at the edge of Qingyun Mountain. I subconsciously thought that they had stolen the clan artifacts. Last night, I planned to take them under the cover of night.
Catch them all in one fell swoop, who would have known... the person in charge was actually a king-level adventurer, and we were no match at all. During the fight, that person made a ruthless move and killed the four of them in an instant. I immediately prayed to the God of Thunder.
, but my strength is low, even if I am possessed by the power of God, I am still no match for that person. Fortunately, I took advantage of the gap when he was suffering from divine punishment and fought with him, so that both sides were injured."
Lu said this, seeming very ashamed.
The elder asked silently: "You have already lost both sides. So, the other party only has a few people. The other people are not king-level, right? There are twenty or thirty of you, why don't you bring them back?"
"Excuse me, elder!" Tarrou said helplessly: "That king-level adventurer is very powerful. If it were not for the influence of divine punishment, he could kill all of us one by one. And even if he is injured,
But after I used the power of the God of Thunder, I lost any fighting power, but he still retained his fighting power. I am sure that if I ordered my men to kill him, it would be possible, but the greater possibility is that all of us would die.
, he was seriously injured and escaped, the consequences... Moreover, the adventurer was also very angry when he was attacked by us, because they had just entered the Qingyun Mountains..."
The elder seemed to understand the situation at that time, and sighed with some dejection, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, go down, you did nothing wrong. The loss of the clan artifact, that's all... Don't mention this matter again, you can leave it alone..."
The most important thing is to let all the young people in the clan come back and protect the village."
Tarou panicked, raised his head and said: "But elder, the clan weapon was lost... The superior clan asked about it, our Qingsang clan..."
"Hey, losing a clan weapon is naturally a serious crime. I'm afraid the Thunder clan will be extremely happy when they hear this news..." The elder didn't answer the question, and said something quite playful with a smile.
Tarrou was stunned for a moment and wanted to say something, but when the elder waved his hand, he could only retreat.
After coming out, Tarou shook his head, sighed helplessly, and walked towards his home. The clan artifact was lost, and there was no way to recover it. The most important thing next was to guard the village, otherwise, there would be no
Without the protection of clan artifacts, it would be difficult for the Qingsang clan to survive.
Secretly, Ye Qian's thoughts suddenly changed. The Qingsang tribe? It seems that the people in this small village are the Qingsang tribe. As for the upper tribe and the Thunder tribe, this...could it be a hierarchical system between tribes?
It might be more appropriate to change the name of the so-called Qingsang tribe to Qingsang Village, but it would be understandable if there were larger tribes above this small tribe.
Just like the Cangshen Sect and Xiaoyao Sect that Ye Qian has experienced, these are local behemoths. There will be many small sects and small families that rely on them to survive. It seems that there is a person above the Qingsang clan.
The big tribe is called the Thunder Tribe.
After Ye Qian heard the news, he was very happy. Because he came here because he wanted to inquire about the news. Unexpectedly, the Qingsang clan was so ruined that there was no depth at all.
Qian doubted that if he went up to ask the Qingsang people about the black spring water and the Tianbu mud, they would be dumbfounded.
But the Thunder Clan is estimated to have a much stronger territory and strength than the Qingsang Clan. It might be possible to find people there. However, Ye Qian heard clearly just now that the elder’s last words were different no matter how he heard them.
Meaningful.
The strong man Talu might not understand, but how smart is Ye Qian? He immediately noticed something was wrong. It seemed that the relationship between the Qingsang tribe and the Leiming tribe was not just a subordinate one. It seemed... Qingsang tribe
If the Sang tribe loses its clan weapon, the Thunder tribe will be very happy? Why are they happy?
There must be a reason for this. According to Ye Qian's understanding, it must be that the Thunder Clan wants to annex the Qingsang Clan. As long as the Qingsang Clan loses its clan artifacts, then the Qingsang Clan will not be able to survive as a complete tribe.
In the end, it could only be merged into the Thunder Clan.
After thinking about this, Ye Qian hesitated for a while. Should he go to the Thunder Clan, or should he continue to wait for news from the Qingsang Clan?
Before Ye Qian could think clearly, suddenly, the door of the wooden house where the elder was located opened, and a gaunt body walked out. This was an old man with all white hair and beard, who looked very old. If he hadn't been holding a cane,
, as if he was about to fall to the ground and never get up again.
It's just that Ye Qian didn't dare to underestimate him. This was the elder of the Qingsang tribe. Even though Ye Qian was definitely stronger than him, it was absolutely nothing to encounter an enemy of the second level of the king just after he entered Qingyun Mountains and Rivers.
Wise decision.
Therefore, Ye Qian quickly withdrew his consciousness. Anyway, he could see this scene with his eyes.
It can be seen that this elder, who looks as if he will soon be out of breath and die, has a very high prestige in the village. Everyone who sees the old man bows respectfully, but the elder behaves very well at this moment.
He is kind and amiable. When he meets little kids, he touches their heads lovingly and says a few words with a smile.
Then, the old man walked towards the back of the village. Looking in that direction, it seemed that he was going to the mountain behind the village.
Ye Qian noticed this immediately. This old man had such a high status that he could just give instructions for ordinary things. But looking at his appearance, it seemed that at this time, there was something that he needed to do personally. So, this matter
It must be important. Ye Qian followed without thinking.
The elder walked out of the back door of the village alone and walked towards the mountain. There was indeed a path here, which was obviously used by the hunters in the village when they went up to the mountain for hunting. But even so, the mountain road was still very rugged, but the old man leaned on it.
He walked very leisurely with a cane.
Ye Qian followed quietly behind him. He determined that the old man must have some secrets. Although it was unlikely to be related to the water of the Black Spring, it might make him more familiar with the Qingyun Mountains and Rivers. These secrets would also
Only someone with a high position like this elder would know, and a rough guy like Tarrou would definitely not know.
I walked like this for about half an hour. It was hard to imagine that an old man who was about to die, a typical guy half buried in the soil, actually walked slowly for half an hour on such a rugged mountain road.
Looking back from here, Qingsang Village is basically invisible.
Ye Qian also had doubts. Could it be that... this old guy deliberately lured him here? However, Ye Qian absolutely did not believe that the old man discovered him. This was because of his self-confidence due to his own strength, but it did not
It's not blind arrogance.
The gap in strength and consciousness, Ye Qian really didn't expect that this old man would find him. Besides, after discovering him, do you dare to lure him away alone? Why does this old man think that he can deal with Ye Qian?
When these thoughts were flashing in his mind, the old man stopped. Ye Qian looked over and saw that there were virgin forests everywhere in the middle of the mountain. However, there was a flat piece of land here, and in the center, there were three thick trees.
The huge tree was cut down and only about four meters high remained. Someone actually used these three tree stumps as pillars to build a pavilion!
The pavilion is very simple, with three stools and a stone table inside.
Ye Qian thought to himself that there was indeed a purpose. Could it be that this old man wanted to wait for someone here? Looking at his cautious appearance, after leaving the village so far, the people he met must not be simple.
Could it be that it has something to do with the loss of that clan artifact?
The old man sat in the pavilion and seemed to be breathing for a while. He took out a copper kettle from the storage ring. After playing with it for a few times, he actually started boiling it in the pavilion. He didn't know whether it was tea or some other drink.
.
Ye Qian was even more curious and surprised. What kind of fun was this old guy doing? Could it be that he came all the way to avoid people in the village just to come here to cook and drink? Or, was he really?
Waiting for someone, cooking to entertain guests? So, who is he waiting for?
"Haha, Your Excellency... Since you are all here, why don't you come in and sit down and have a cup of tea?" Seeing the steam coming out of the copper pot, the old man put out two teacups with a smile and said in a sweet voice.
Ye Qian was stunned, and even looked around, but did not find anyone. At this moment, Ye Qian wanted to die in his heart. Damn... After doing this for a long time, this old guy knew that he was following him.
, he is still here guessing who he is waiting for, he is waiting for himself!
