Chapter 6 Attacked on the Way Home

There are many small rivers flowing into Dongyang Lake, the ancestral home of the Liu family, and the Qingshui River is the one with the largest amount of water.

Taking a boat from Qinghe Town, you can go down the river directly to Dongyang Lake.

The distance of five to six hundred miles can be reached within a day by going down the river and with a little mana, which is much faster than walking.

Liu Yuanchen nodded: "Then I'll ask Uncle Six to make arrangements."

An hour later, Liu Yuanchen boarded the family's cargo ship at the dock outside Qinghe Town.

The boat is about six feet long and about two feet wide. It is made of low-grade spiritual wood and looks a bit crude.

There is a flag hanging on the bow of the ship with the words "Dongyang Liu Family" written on it.

On the cargo ship, there were also two children from distant branches of the family.

At this time, a monk in his fifties came out of the cabin.

Seeing Liu Yuanchen wearing the Qingdan Sect's Taoist robe, he asked, "Does this fellow Taoist from the Qingdan Sect have any official duties?"

Liu Yuanchen cupped his hands and said, "Second uncle, I am Yuanchen!"

This person's name is Liu Qingsong, and he is also a member of the Liujiayuan branch.

There are not many monks in the Liu family, only about thirty people. He has seen these elders when he was a child, so he can naturally recognize them.

Liu Qingsong stared at him for a long time and then said: "It's really you, I haven't seen you for seven or eight years, you have grown so tall, you must be more than seven feet.

You look somewhat similar to your father, otherwise, I would really not dare to recognize you.

However, your Qi and blood are a bit ridiculously strong.

I am at the eighth level of cultivation of qi, but my father and I are almost the same in terms of qi and blood. "

Liu Yuanchen's heart trembled. He had previously absorbed the vitality of plants and trees to practice, which could strengthen his qi, blood and physical body.

After opening up a blessed land and modifying the exercises, the improvement was even greater.

An eighth-level qi-nurturing monk can see the problem. This qi-blood cannot be hidden from a real master, and he will have to find a way to cover it up in the future.

He casually thought of an excuse: "Ever since I started practicing, my qi and blood have always been relatively strong.

After that, I often went to the mountains to collect herbs and picked some spiritual fruits. As long as they were not poisonous, I used them to satisfy my hunger.

It might be some kind of spiritual fruit that can enhance qi and blood. "

Then he changed the subject: "I heard from Uncle Six that a red sand wolf attacked Yanze, and my father was slightly injured.

You often travel between various family properties, so you should know the situation there. How is my father now? "

Liu Qingsong did not go into details: "I took a trip to Yanze a few days ago. Your father only suffered some skin trauma and should have recovered by now.

However, there are still some troubles over there in Shiozawa.

The family sent out troops to encircle and suppress the enemy, but failed to find the red sand wolf's lair.

Among those red sand wolves, there is a wolf king in the late stage of swallowing spirits, which is difficult to deal with. "

The realm of swallowing spirits is the first realm of the demon clan, which is equivalent to the cultivation level of the human race's Qi nourishing realm.

The monsters in this realm have low intelligence and can only cultivate through instinct and swallowing spiritual objects.

On top of swallowing spirits, there are also realms such as receiving qi and enlightening spirits.

Demonic beasts in the realm of Naqi have slightly higher intelligence and can already practice simple breathing methods and actively absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so they are called Naqi.

As for Qiling, it means opening up spiritual wisdom.

At this level, the spiritual intelligence of the monster beasts has become comparable to that of the stupid humans. They can speak people's words without difficulty, and can also practice more complex exercises and spells.

As for the higher realm of monster beast cultivation, Liu Yuanchen didn't know.

Monster beasts like the Red Sand Wolf are not very strong and can generally be cultivated to the middle stage of swallowing spirits, while the Wolf King can be cultivated to the late stage of swallowing spirits.

Although the level of the Red Sand Wolf is not high and its combat power is average at the same level, it is very adaptable to the environment of the Red Wasteland.

The red sand wolf in its prime can still survive for several years in the Gobi without spiritual energy and water.

If they are determined to hide, it will be difficult to find them.

Moreover, this thing is very stubborn. Once it identifies its target, it will never give up until it succeeds.

Yanze has been targeted by red sand wolves. If they cannot kill all the wolves, they may be attacked again at any time for a long time in the future.

Liu Yuanchen was worried because his father lived in Yanze and his eldest brother was also a salt worker in the salt field.

As long as the wolves are not eliminated, they will always be in danger.

My own words are low and I cannot influence the family's decision-making.

It is not an easy matter to transfer my father and eldest brother away.

He and Liu Qingsong chatted wordlessly, and there was a gust of wind in his ears, and the vegetation on both sides of the river retreated rapidly.

Liu Yuanchen was a little curious. This boat ran too fast. It could run more than two hundred miles in an hour, almost at full speed.

It is said that the cargo ship returning to Dongyang Lake from Qinghe Town travels along the river, and in order to save spiritual stones, it is driven entirely by water power.

The most that can be done is to let the family members spend some mana to activate it, and it will take a day to return to Dongyang Lake.

At this speed, you can reach Dongyang Lake in just over three hours.

Moreover, an ordinary cargo ship does not need an eighth-level monk to escort the ship.

Putting all the irrational phenomena together, there is only one explanation: there is something more important on the ship.

Returning to the family quickly can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Of course, the value of this thing won't be too high.

Otherwise, the Qihai monks in the clan would personally escort them.

Uncle Six took the initiative to let him take the boat. It seemed that he wanted to use his status as a disciple of the Qingdan Sect to frighten the casual cultivators who intended to rob the boat.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh: These people in the main line are really calculating to the core.

I wanted to catch a ride, but I didn't expect to become a free bodyguard.

I'm afraid even revealing that his father was injured was done intentionally by Uncle Six.

Since he was already on the boat, it was too late to get off.

If he jumped off the boat and ran away at this time, he would be completely at odds with his family.

He could not care, but his father and elder brother might not feel good.

At this point, he could only try his best to save the boat.

He closed his eyes and released his spiritual sense.

All the grass and trees within a radius of thirty feet were visible.

Liu Qingsong sensed that he had released his spiritual sense to explore the surroundings, so he stopped talking to him.

Not long after, Liu Yuanchen sensed that there were cultivators in the grass and trees by the river secretly spying on the cargo ship.

He stood up, his eyes fixed on the hiding place of the casual cultivator.

The casual cultivator saw Liu Yuanchen wearing the Taoist robe of a Qingdan Sect disciple, and also found his hiding place.

He did not dare to take action when he could not figure out the depth.

Liu Qingsong asked carefully: "Yuanchen, have you found anything?"

Liu Yuanchen naturally did not want to expose his special means: "I am suspicious, nothing happened.

But you, Second Uncle, have to be careful. You have a heavy responsibility and must not make any mistakes."

Liu Qingsong showed surprise on his face, and then hurriedly covered it up.

Liu Yuanchen just smiled slightly and said nothing more.

Downstream of Qingshui River, the river channel became wide and shallow.

An hour after leaving Qinghe Town, a swamp with a radius of more than ten miles was seen in the east from a distance.

The swamp was full of reeds, and there was only a waterway about three feet wide that could allow cargo ships to pass, but this waterway was winding.

The speed of the cargo ship could not be increased at all, and it could only drill in the dense reeds.

This kind of place is simply the chosen place for ship robbery.

Looking at the swamp in front of him, Liu Qingsong's face was so gloomy that water could drip out.

Liu Yuanchen was still smiling: "Second uncle, I was tricked by my sixth uncle.

If the next thing is controllable, I will do my best.

If it is impossible, I will fight back and report to the family."

Liu Qingsong glanced at him, but said nothing.

Liu Yuanchen can run, but he can't.

After all, Liu Yuanchen didn't officially take over the job of escorting the boat.

If the things were lost, he would not be responsible.

He was ready to run away at any time, and he was confident whether he could escape.

This place is more than 200 miles away from Qingshui Town and less than 400 miles away from Qingshi Mountain Blessed Land.

When he arrived here, Liu Yuanchen could still receive the mana fed back by the blessed land.

It's just that the amount is very small. The mana fed back in a hundred breaths is only one-third of a low-grade spirit stone.

This mana is naturally far from enough to fight with other cultivators.

But with the strong physical strength, there is still a great hope to escape with all his strength.

Liu Yuanchen clenched his fists, and a faint green light flickered on his arms.

The green silk vine hidden in his sleeves grew at a very fast speed after being nourished by magic power, and was wrapped around his arms.

In just a few breaths, his arms were tightly wrapped by the green silk vine.

The vines were still spreading to his torso. After more than ten breaths, his neck and below were covered by vines.

The vines crisscrossed and woven into a set of vine armor.

With the toughness of the green silk vine, it would take a lot of effort for a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi cultivation to break the vine armor.

In just over twenty breaths, Liu Yuanchen was ready for battle.

It was just that he was covered by the Taoist robe, so no clues could be seen from the outside.

Liu Qingsong's blood was surging, and a murderous aura enveloped his whole body.

The cargo ship moved forward quickly and soon entered the swamp.

The river channel of Qingshui River became winding, and the speed of the ship slowed down, which was the speed of an ordinary person running at full speed.

Soon, a sneaky figure appeared in Liu Yuanchen's perception range.

It was just far away, so it was hard to determine his cultivation level.

After more than ten breaths, Liu Yuanchen sensed three more cultivators, all of whom were following behind the boat.

After half a cup of tea, the cargo ship had arrived at the center of the swamp.

At this time, there were ten cultivators within Liu Yuanchen's sensing range.

Crack~~

A weeping willow as thick as an adult's waist fell down beside the waterway, just blocking the waterway completely.

The waterway here is narrow, and it is difficult for the cargo ship to turn around.

If it hits it hard, the ship will most likely fall apart.

Fortunately, the Liu family's boatman had good skills and stopped steadily before the cargo ship hit the tree trunk.

A sturdy man with a scar on his face rushed out of the reed marsh.

The sturdy man held a heavy sword, jumped high, and slashed at Liu Qingsong.

Liu Qingsong smiled, stepped forward quickly, and swung a long sword towards the strong man's crotch.

The strong man quickly changed his moves, swept his heavy sword, knocked Liu Qingsong's long sword away, and saved the heirloom.

However, before his feet landed on the boat, Liu Yuanchen rushed over from the side.

A iron mountain lean hit him hard on the back.

The strong man screamed and flew out diagonally, and it was estimated that his waist was not saved.

Liu Qingsong took advantage of the victory and chased, swung his left hand knife, and a golden knife slashed out.

The strong man was beheaded by the golden knife before he landed.

With the cooperation of the two, a sixth-level Qi cultivation cultivator died in an instant.

Liu Yuanchen bowed to all around: "I am Liu Yuanchen, a disciple of the Shennong Hall of the Qingdan Sect. I have an important matter to attend to at Dongyang Lake. Please help me."

A hoarse voice came: "Aren't you the little minions of the Qingdan Sect who guarded the spiritual fields in Yujin Mountain?

As long as all of you are killed and the bodies are thrown everywhere, will the Qingdan Sect still go to such trouble for a little minions like you?"

Loud laughter came from all directions. There were about twenty casual cultivators who hijacked the ship.

Liu Yuanchen cursed in his heart: These guys from the main lineage are really worthless. They take the benefits for themselves and let me take the blame.

Liu Qingsong used a long sword to pick up the head of the casual cultivator and held it high: "My Liu family has never offended casual cultivators, but they are not easy to bully.

If fellow Taoists use all their strength, we are definitely not their opponents, but exchanging a few lives is not a problem.

Is it worth it to sacrifice your lives to grab a few spirit stones?"

After these words came out, several casual cultivators who were approaching the cargo ship paused, obviously hesitating.

The hoarse voice sounded again: "The things on the boat are not just a few spiritual stones. Half a month ago, there was an unusual movement in the Black Wolf Valley area.

A spring in the valley dried up, revealing the entrance to a secret cave.

Several casual cultivators went in and found that it was the place where an ancient cultivator sat and died. They brought out a lot of good things from the cave.

Liu Qingsong, do I need to tell you the rest?"

Liu Yuanchen thought for a moment. The Black Wolf Valley is seventy or eighty miles south of Qingshi Mountain.

Half a month ago, it was just the time when he opened up the blessed land.

The drying up of the spring in the Black Wolf Valley is not related to the opening up of the blessed land, right?

Liu Qingsong chuckled: "My Liu family did not participate in the Black Wolf Valley incident. I just received a few spiritual talismans from a casual cultivator.

If there are really treasures, there will be more than just the two of us guarding the ship.

If you are not afraid of death, you can come and taste the power of the spiritual talisman."

Hearing this, more than a dozen casual cultivators stopped.

Who knows how powerful the spiritual talisman from the ancient cultivator's cave is.

Going up rashly is no different from committing suicide.

The hoarse voice was obviously anxious: "Fellow Daoists, don't listen to his nonsense. The Liu family got a spiritual object that helps break through the Qi Hai realm."

Liu Qingsong sneered: "This is strange. Who would sell a spiritual object that helps break through the Qi Hai realm?

You said that my Liu family got a treasure, how did you know?

Or do you have a grudge against my Liu family and want to borrow your knife to kill my Liu family?"

After that, he also winked at Liu Yuanchen.

Hearing this, all the casual cultivators stopped.

Killing the Qingdan Sect disciples may be hunted down by the Qingdan Sect in the future.

They didn't know whether the Liu family had any treasures.

If not, it would be a big loss.

"Fellow Daoists, Liu Qingsong, this old thing, is slandering us." The hoarse voice's rebuttal was a little weak.

Liu Yuanchen slowly retreated back to the cabin, and then his whole body flashed with green light, and the whole person disappeared on the spot.

"You have nothing to say, right? You deliberately framed my Liu family and made you fellow Taoists scapegoats.

You have such a deep hatred for my Liu family. You fellow Taoists were hired by the Chen family, right?"

"You..."

Before the hoarse voice finished speaking, Liu Yuanchen suddenly appeared beside him.

The man was wearing a black robe and a veiled hat, covering his face tightly.

Liu Yuanchen swung his right arm and hit him on the head.

The man in black robe was arguing with Liu Qingsong, but he didn't expect Liu Yuanchen to be so unethical.

In a hurry, he had to raise his arm to block.

Pah~~

After a crisp sound, the man in black robe was knocked back more than ten feet away.
