After driving for most of the day, it was almost dark. Chen Zhiyu and his party also arrived at a mountain.
However, the caravan had no intention of stopping and kept moving forward.
Along the way, Chen Zhifu kept telling Chen Zhiyu about his experiences in Qingyunfang City. Chen Zhiyu listened and mostly talked about the situation of the fireworks place in Qingyunfang City. He shook his head as he listened.
One of the things that impressed Chen Zhiyu the most was that Chen Zhifu had been telling him about Liu Qiqi, a strange woman from the Golden Cave.
How wonderful this woman is. She was forced to make a living and had no choice but to become a prostitute. She was a prostitute rather than a prostitute. After meeting her by chance and just one glance, she became his lifelong confidant. It's just a pity that he couldn't marry her.
.
It is impossible to marry her. Chen Zhifu is a cultivator after all. Even if he cannot successfully build the foundation, his grandfather is also the fourth elder of the family. How can he marry a mortal woman as his wife or concubine?
I just heard from my sixth brother that Liu Qiqi didn’t want to be a concubine and had an extremely strong personality. She didn’t want to be taken care of by others. So she stayed in that land of fireworks and said she was supporting herself by her own efforts.
This made Chen Zhiyu curious. When this mortal saw a cultivator, he would not throw himself into his arms, but he would still be respectful and unwilling to be the concubine of a cultivator. This was quite courageous.
Speaking of the Gold Selling Cave, it is also a strange place. Even if there is just a mortal woman in there, the fee is only for spiritual stones, but no one dares to refute it.
The sixth brother, who took pity on Chen Zhiyu, sent a lot of spiritual stones into the gold-selling cave, but his own cultivation did not improve much.
As for Chen Zhiyu's seventh brother, Chen Zhiyao, he was quite a boring gourd. The most he said along the way was "Hmm," and the most common movements he made was shaking his head and nodding. He was actually an ascetic.
As for Chen Shiyun, he was happy to see the three of them getting close.
I just saw that Chen Zhifu was always talking about romantic affairs, so I couldn't help but frown. I had already planned to finish delivering the goods this time, and to have a good chat with the fourth elder when I returned to the clan.
Twelve black-scaled horses walked slowly on the rugged mountain road, shaking their heads from time to time, which was a bit funny to watch.
After a while, when they were about to enter the mountains, Chen Zhiyu's second uncle gestured backwards to indicate a pause, and then said with all his strength: "We are about to enter the Black Mountains, everyone, cheer up.
"
Chen Shiyun spoke in a loud and powerful voice, which sounded majestic to the ears of the tribesmen. In an instant, he felt as if he had been pumped full of chicken blood, and he became full of energy again.
After saying that, he turned his head and said to Chen Zhiyu with a serious face: "Yu'er, be careful and follow your uncle closely. There are many bandits in Heifeng Ridge who specialize in robbing passers-by."
These bandits are not special people. In fact, they are casual cultivators who occupy the land here and are kings. They are here to cause trouble and specialize in robbery. But when they meet a big family, they will ask for something appropriately and let them go.
The reason why no one dealt with them was because there was a big boss in the Purple Mansion Realm among these bandits, and they also knew how to measure up. Disciples of large sects, families, and tribesmen, they just wanted to do whatever they wanted, and generally they would not give them any embarrassment, and
Every year, they also send congratulatory gifts to some outstanding foundation-building families and Zifu families nearby to maintain good relations. Therefore, no one will take the initiative to pay them off.
As for casual cultivators, the children of small families do not have such good luck. Not only will their property be lost, but sometimes their lives will be lost.
Chen Zhifu on the side curled his lips indifferently and said: "Sixth Elder, are you so cautious? Just give me something."
Chen Zhifu has been to Qingyunfang City several times with his grandfather, so he knows the connections and doesn't care much about these things.
Chen Zhiyao had no expression. However, Chen Zhiyu still cheered up. Because his strength was too weak, and if he was not careful, his life would be gone.
Chen Zhiyu took out the first-level mid-grade long sword given by his father and held it in his hand. He also injected some spiritual energy into the Spirit Control Pearl in his arms, ready to activate it at any time.
At this time, Chen Shiyun couldn't help but smile when he saw Chen Zhiyu being so virtuous, thinking to himself: I can teach you, my eldest brother has someone to succeed him.
Although everyone is from the same family, people in the same clan are also close to each other. Chen Zhiyu's eldest grandfather is an alchemist, and his second grandfather is a weapon refiner. They have both foundation building skills and their influence in the clan is large enough.
That's why Chen Shiyun was able to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill so smoothly back then.
Chen Shiyun never got married because he wanted to break through the Foundation Establishment, so he naturally regarded Chen Zhiyu as his own child. He hoped that Chen Zhiyu could make some progress and take the Foundation Establishment Pill in the future, and the controversy would be much less. After all, the Foundation Establishment Pill is worth ten thousand gold.
It’s hard to find! The quantity each year is extremely limited.
Chen Zhiyu didn't know it yet, but his small actions had already left a good impression on his second uncle, a great master. He also gave him such a high evaluation!
When we entered the Black Mountain Ridge, we saw that the land was all black, but the trees were extremely lush and the wind was very rough.
But even though he was so careful, Chen Zhiyu's team was still attacked by several waves of bandits. This made Chen Zhiyu a little curious. Wasn't it said that Heishanling was managed by an ancestor from the Purple Mansion Realm? Why did so many people pop up?
Wave bandits.
Later, Chen Zhiyu learned that although there was an ancestor from the Purple Mansion Realm in Heishan Ridge, he didn't care about anything. As long as the bandits from the nearby mountains paid tribute regularly, that would be enough.
In recent years, this ancestor of the Purple Mansion Realm has not shown up, so the Black Mountain Ridge is also full of peaks, arrogant and not very disciplined!
However, when the bandits saw Chen Shiyun's cultivation, they would ask which clan they belonged to. Chen Shiyun would also tell his family name, and then throw the storage bag prepared in advance to the other party, without the other party opening the storage bag.
, he just took the storage bag, raised his hand, said "goodbye", and left.
I originally thought that the entire journey through Heishanling would be so smooth, but unexpectedly something unexpected happened.
A wave of bandits suddenly attacked the convoy led by Chen Shiyun. In an instant, two tribesmen who were in the early stages of Qi training died unexpectedly, and two black-scaled horses fell to the ground.
However, due to Chen Shiyun's previous warning, everyone was still somewhat vigilant. Apart from the two tribesmen who were unexpectedly killed and the two black-scaled horses who were injured and fell to the ground, there were no other major casualties.
Chen Shiyun reacted quickly and knew that the other party might have done it intentionally and it might be difficult to end it.
He immediately asked the tribesmen to form a circle and drove the black-scaled horses to a safe area. Three tribesmen in the middle stage of Qi training and six tribesmen in the early stages of Qi training were arranged to watch over the black-scaled horses.
Then the second-level mid-level formation disks brought from the clan were activated. As the black formation flags fell to the ground, a layer of light curtain that could be seen by human eyes instantly rose up, protecting the clansmen and the black-scaled horses.
Within the formation.
Chen Shiyun himself took out a long sword and looked at the spiritual energy fluctuations. It was a second-level magic weapon sword. Then he led Chen Zhiyao, three clansmen at the seventh level of Qi training and eight clansmen at the middle stage of Qi training.
Meet the enemy.
As for Chen Zhifu, he hid under the protection of the array as soon as the accident happened, while Chen Zhiyu was taken behind Chen Shiyun and was tightly protected.
Chen Shiyun said to Lin Zi: "May I ask which Taoist friend it is? I am the elder of the Chen family. Please come out and see me!"
Chen Shiyun used amplification technology when he spoke, and the entire forest could probably hear him. The silence of the forest at this time was a bit scary.
Our Chen Zhiyu also had a serious look on his face. The moment two tribesmen fell to the ground just now gave him a deep shock. At this time, he still endured the discomfort in his heart and followed his second uncle pretending to be calm, constantly looking around.
All around.
As for Chen Zhiyu's seventh brother, Chen Zhiyao, he seems much normal. After all, unlike Chen Zhiyu, he has never been out. Although he has the help of his father, he often goes to the family mission hall to receive missions. He has experienced many tests of life and death.
. It was the first time to see one of his own clansmen fall to the ground instantly and lose their lives.
In less than half a cup of tea, applause of "pa, pa, pa" rang out in the woods, and then about thirty men in black clothes and masks walked out.
The leader was an old man with a hunchback. He was not wearing a mask. Chen Shiyun took a quick look and saw that he was holding a crutch. He had a childlike face and hunched body. The wrinkles on his face were like mountains and hills, and his uneven face followed him.
He was coughing and shaking non-stop.
He looked like a worldly old man, but the coercion he exuded was definitely not what a practitioner in the Qi training stage could possess.
Chen Shiyun felt his pressure, which he almost had. This old man was definitely a foundation-building master.
At this time, Chen Shiyun felt really mixed emotions. He regretted it so much. He would have refused to take this job if he had known it. It didn't matter if something happened to him, but what if something happened to his precious nephew?
I glanced at Chen Zhiyu and thought, even if I die soon, I can't let anything happen to my nephew Chen Zhiyu, so I became very angry.
The old man covered his coughing mouth with his hand and said slowly:
"You are indeed a formidable person! I think back then, at your age, I didn't have your level of cultivation!"
As he spoke, he raised his head and glanced at Chen Shiyun with half-squinted eyes. Then he looked around at the Chen family and stopped talking.
Here, Chen Shiyun saw that the other party was sizing up the Chen family members, his heart was already in a state of confusion, and he was already comparing the strength of the two sides.
There are 30 people in black clothes. Except for the hunchbacked old man who is in the foundation building stage, among the remaining 29 people, there are three who are at the seventh level of Qi training, there are also those who are at the fourth level of Qi training, and there are even several people who are at the third level of Qi training.
He is a second-level Qi practitioner. The difference in strength is not that big.
Because although there are many members of the Chen clan who are in the early stage of Qi training, their cultivation level is at least the third level of Qi training. In addition, coupled with the resources and weapons equipped by the family, it is not clear who will win against the men in black on the opposite side.
.
But when Chen Shiyun saw the three men in black behind the old man, his eyes couldn't help but shrink, and his expression instantly became more solemn.
Of these three people, one is at the ninth level of Qi training, the other two are at the eighth level of Qi training, plus the next three at the seventh level, the Chen family is in danger!
Excluding the two clan members who had just died, there were still twenty-four people left in the Chen family. Except for himself, who was a Qi Perfection cultivator, there were only four Qi Qi cultivation cultivators at the seventh level. When he faced the old foundation-building man,
Even if they can fight for a while, I'm afraid those three Qi-training monks on the eighth and ninth levels will have chopped down the Chen family members like watermelons!
This is not a battle on the same level at all. Chen Shiyun couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, but he still mustered up the courage on his face and said bravely: "Who are you? I wonder if my Chen family has offended you. If not, can I be treated as a subordinate?"
If your convoy passes by, my Chen family will be richly rewarded!"
Taking advantage of the opportunity to speak, Chen Shiyun had secretly sent a third-level low-grade transmission note.
This is a special talisman, which is guided by blood and will be automatically sent to the nearest clan member. It is the secret talisman of the family.
The hunchbacked old man here may have discovered that the other party did not have a monk in the foundation building stage, so he was very careless and did not notice Chen Shiyun's little move.
At this moment, a dusty old man dozens of miles away was on his way. Suddenly, a telegraph talisman floated in the air. When the old man took the talisman and took a look, his expression immediately changed. As soon as he patted the storage bag on his waist, a fire eagle appeared.
Out of shape.
He immediately patted the eagle on the back and rushed towards Heishanling at a faster speed.
The screen turned around and saw the hunchbacked old man slowly speaking: "It doesn't matter who my surname is, and I have no grudges against your Chen family. It's just that you occupy too many resources."
After saying this, the old man's eyes opened like sharp swords, and before he knew it, someone on Chen's side was injured.
Seeing that the tribesman was injured, Chen Shiyun immediately shouted:
"A bold thief, he even dared to hijack my Chen family's motorcade! Aren't you afraid of my Chen family's revenge?"
This time the old man did not speak, but the man in black behind him, who was at the ninth level of Qi training, sneered and said:
"So what about the Chen family? This is not the first time we have robbed. Even if people from the four major sects are here, we will still carry out the robbery, right? My little friends!"
The people behind him nodded one after another. It seemed that what the man in black just said had dispelled their worries.
The hunchbacked old man in front also nodded slightly, as if he was satisfied with what the man in black just said and everyone's answers.
Chen Shiyun believed these words very much. He was not a playboy. He thought that the Chen family was invincible. The resources of casual cultivators were extremely scarce and cultivation was extremely difficult. Many casual cultivators relied on robbing others to obtain resources and maintain their own cultivation.
As long as the corpses are destroyed and traces are destroyed after the robbery, even if the four major sects come, they will not be able to find out. Therefore, many casual cultivators like to do such things as robbery, but today they did not expect that it would be the Chen family's turn.
Chen Shiyun was not slow in his movements, secretly inputting spiritual energy into the long sword in his hand, with a stern look on his face, thinking that he must protect Chen Zhiyu, but he could no longer care about Chen Zhifu and Chen Zhiyao.
