Chapter 40 Black Water Village

The Nanshan League members are about to set off on the second day, and there is only one day of preparation time.

On the second day, he should have gone to the Xueting Pavilion, but Fang Cun could hide so much that he asked Xiao Qingliu to go to the academy to help him take leave. But early in the morning, he had already ridden a tall horse carefully selected from the stable, brought a few embroidered bags containing life-saving pills, tied the old umbrella upside down, and came to the avenue south of Liuhu City, waiting for the people of the Nanshan League.

When we arrived at Chen, we saw a lot of figures on the academy road, and more than a dozen riders rushed towards us. The leaders were the five people in the Nanshan League centered on Meng Zhixue. Fang Cun had also inquired before. He knew that the Nanshan League of Baixiang Academy was the core of these five people, and the ones following them were the helpers they selected from the students for this Demon-Flowering Certificate.

After seeing it, Fang Cun couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

It seems that what Nanshan League said before is really good. His current cultivation level is really a bit more than theirs...

The five sons of Nanshan League have high cultivation levels that cannot be seen in Fang Cun. The helpers they selected are actually complete in the breath refining realm, and the second is also in the late stage of the breath refining realm. For example, Fang Cun, who has just reached the middle level of breath refining, is nearly two small realms.

I really seem to be coming here to take advantage of my merits...

...

...

"Young Master Fang is here early..."

Seeing Fang Cun waiting here, everyone stopped their mounts, looked at Fang Cun, carrying an old umbrella, and riding on the horse. Subconsciously, they felt something filthy. The thick young man Nie Quan seemed to be thinking about the wrong name he had called yesterday, and snorted coldly, saying, "Young Master Fang has a very shallow cultivation, but this outfit is very handsome..."

Among the legends, the academy students all know how to fly the clouds and mist, but in fact, most of them ride horses when traveling.

With their cultivation level, flying around may not be impossible, but if you have to travel far, your cultivation level is far from enough.

However, it was because of riding a horse that made people feel a little embarrassed. Young Master Fang's cultivation was the lowest among the crowd. However, when he saw the mount under him, he was riding a divine white horse that traveled thousands of miles a day. He was half a horse's head higher than the other horses, with wide body and long legs. He was extremely divine. When the other outstanding people of the academy approached him, he became half a head shorter invisibly.

Only Meng Zhixue's master, the tall cloud-patterned snow deer, can be compared with the square-inch white horse, and it is not inferior to the magical essence.

"This trip is still far away and there is not much time. Let's talk while walking!"

Meng Zhixue came out to smooth things over for Fangcun, then patted Xuelu's head at the seat, led the crowd to walk in front, and said to Fangcun as he walked: "You have read the Transition Demon Certificate yesterday. You should know what we have done about this behavior. The people of Liuhu City have been living a difficult life. Not only in recent years, the land has been poor and the grains are not harvested, but also bandits are rampant, demons are in chaos and ruining their lives. Now we are going here because something happened in Qingpo County, south of the city. There was a town of people who disappeared overnight without leaving a single person!"

"Is it because of the demons or there is another hidden truth? We always have to find out the matter and find out the reason!"

"yes!"

Nodded in a square couch and glanced slightly.

Now that I leave the city, I can see that the scene is different from that in the city. The large fertile soil is full of weeds. At first glance, it is lush, with ambitions and beautiful scenery. However, looking at the wheat grass among the weeds and the sparse rice ears, the open-minded and elegant feeling of the literati and poets has faded away. The difference makes people feel sad and pity.

Too miserable!

In the distant land, near and far away, you can see some people who are cultivating in the fields with the sun, sweating profusely.

However, on the side of the road, you can still see many people in ragged clothes and even difficult to hide their bodies. They carry their children and daughters, or gather in groups, holding their daughters, and walk slowly southwards step by step. When they see the sound of horse hooves, someone subconsciously stretches out the bowl, or turns his head and kneel down, and wants to beg, but when he sees the horse's speed coming, he is so scared that he flees to the side of the road.

"I have found out clearly about the disappearance of the people in this small town!"

He rode behind him and rushed a few steps, walking side by side with Meng Zhixue and Fangcun. Yu Qingli was immediately on the way. He frowned and said, "In fact, there are many refugees in the south of the city. These refugees have no roots and no connections, and they often move to the public. The city guard's order cannot be prevented. Occasionally, a few people are not a big deal and cannot be discovered at all. This time, it was because the people of the entire town disappeared, which attracted attention. There was another important matter on the side of the city guard and there was no time to investigate, so he threw the case into our academy!"

"Hmph, I think these refugees deserve it!"

Another voice took over the words. It was Meng Qing'er. She pouted and said, "Around Liuhu City, there is our Baixiang Academy and the city guards are in charge. The demons dare not be arrogant, but they are going to run into the mountains one by one. There are so many demons and monsters in the mountains, and we are beyond our reach. They will catch them and eat them casually. Wouldn't they just cause their own disaster?"

After hearing this, Meng Zhixue did not rush to answer, and her expression was very calm.

But Fang Cun couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

"These refugees probably didn't voluntarily go to the mountains..."

Long before entering the academy, Fang Cun had been wandering all day long, and had a deep understanding of all aspects of the world and saw some clues.

As Meng Qing'er said, if these refugees outside the city gathered by Liuhu City, they could indeed be protected. No matter how powerful the demons were, they would not dare to come to Liuhu City to cause trouble. At most, they would occasionally sneak over to eat one or two people, and they would risk being taken down by the academy or the people under the city guarding as credit, and then enter the deep mountains, which would be equivalent to sending themselves into the tiger's mouth.

But is it that simple?

Looking at the surrounding farmland, it can be seen that most of these farmlands are extremely poor and the weeds are short.

And further away, you can see a pill of medicine that is blowing towards the wind.

Fangcun knew that those are all spiritual herbs of value, and are important materials for Qi Refiners to refine alchemy.

There are Qi Refiners in this world.

Qi refiners need a large amount of spiritual herbs to refine alchemy. However, this spiritual herb is different from ordinary crops and consumes extremely fertility of the land. After planting spiritual herbs once, these farmlands will exhaust their fertility and will not be able to recover for a few years. Although there is a clear text on the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty, after planting spiritual herbs for a year, they cannot be planted again. They must be returned to the people to plant crops.

But the farmland is getting thinner and I can’t collect grain within one or two years after planting crops.

The people did not have enough food and had taxes and rents for land. If they were not full, they could only go to the mountains to reclaim wasteland and find new fields to plant food.

The farmland they reclaimed was probably planting the spiritual herbs needed by Qi Refiners soon, so they were about to leave.

With such a cycle, these refugees cannot go further and further into the mountains step by step?

Even if there are so many monsters and monsters in the mountains, we have to go.

While thinking, everyone had already left Liuhu City and came to an intersection. They looked forward and saw the reeds in front of the left, and black air was steaming. Going south, there was an invisible mountain, like a giant beast, crawling on the earth.

Yu Qingli said, "To the left, there is Heishui Beach, where bandits are entrenched and evil spirits. Let's try to go around as much as possible to avoid causing trouble. When going from the right, there is Qinghu Mountain. The town we are going to investigate is also in this deep mountain!"

"Is Heishuitan the nest of bandits?"

When all the students heard this, they all looked forward and saw a mountain village standing among the reed marsh.

Meng Qing'er sneered: "These demons are becoming more and more arrogant and fierce, each of them has their own names. What kind of court leaders, the four helmsman, the seven guardians, haha, the mixed dragons and snakes are mixed, and they are in chaos. Not only do they hide evil cultivators, but they also cause troubles. Most of the aristocratic gentry in Liuhu City have suffered their losses, and even some of the business of the city guard have been decided by them. Now even the mountain village has been built, and the land is bounded, and the minions patrolled day and night. When the idle people get closer, they will fight and kill, which is even more arrogant than the city guard..."

Looking at the black reed marsh, it seemed that he could feel the ferocious air. The Fang family almost suffered the loss of the Tunhai Gang Lao Dynasty before. They are naturally not unfamiliar with these so-called people in the martial arts world. To some extent, they are not even just doing evil, they are simply occupying the mountain and becoming king. Both sides will bring people to fight against the city guard.

When it comes to helping the bandits in the village, they have those refugees who are not full and are willing to serve and gather all living beings.

When it comes to Qi refining methods, don’t underestimate these bandit camps, there are also many experts in it.

For example, after the three years of the school, the three existing roads are to enter the county sect, the county government, or the night watch palace.

However, if you enter the county sect, you need to be talented and far beyond the public.

When entering the county government, you need connections and background.

Entering the eternal night wasteland is too dangerous!

If the three are unwilling to go, then how can there be any other choice besides escaping into the world?

Because of this reason, and some people who are excluded and cannot stay in the court, who have committed a crime for some reason, are wanted by Daxia, or are on the right path, and cannot find a breakthrough opportunity, one by one, and most of them have become people in the world...

What kind of evil demons, casual cultivators, and those who teach qi cultivation methods belong to this category.

Chaos, darkness, fierceness, this is the world...

"There is always a dream of a world of martial arts in the past life, but this real world of martial arts is different from what we think..."

When he thought about this in his heart, Fang Cun pondered slightly and said, "Will the disappearance of the people in the village be related to these bandits?"

Nie Quan, who was on the other side, suddenly laughed and said, "Young Master Fang is really not a part of the world. These bandits are afraid that they will not be able to eat enough for themselves. They do not reclaim land and farm, and they will not open Tzu Chi Hall. What did these people do when they robbed them?"

When everyone heard this, they smiled awkwardly and turned to look at Fangcun.
