Qingyunxian

Chapter 20: All the old, weak, women and children
There are legends about celestial beings in the tribe where Lu lives. Every time they hear those legends, they are very envious.

There is a method of cultivation of the Heavenly Immortal passed down in the tribe, but it is very difficult to fill their stomachs, so how can they have the resources to practice the method of the Heavenly Immortal?

Some tribesmen who did not believe in evil had also practiced, but were stuck at the stage of transporting their souls into birds. Even if they succeeded in controlling a bird, they were unable to carry out subsequent practice and their strength was not able to improve.

When he wanted to practice earthly martial arts again, the soul energy cultivated by the heavenly immortal's method clashed with the martial artist's evil spirit, and he eventually exploded and died.

To these wild people, the heavenly magic became useless, and over time no one practiced it anymore.

Lu and others practiced the martial arts passed down by the tribe. The number of tribal members was decreasing day by day, and there was not even a decent strong man.

The strongest tribal leader, Tang, is only at the Body Tempering Stage.

How could Lu not be shocked when he saw the power displayed by Liu Xun?

He had never heard of a celestial being with such means.

The knowledge passed down by the tribe was sporadic, and the deer did not know the peculiarity of the heavenly immortals who used ferocious beasts, auspicious beasts, and disaster beasts as their foundation.

I just thought that Liu Xun was extremely powerful.

Seeing the awed looks in Lu and the others' eyes, Liu Xun did not explain but brushed his sleeves and said, "Take me to your tribe!"

Lu came to his senses and, fearing Liu Xun's strength, had no choice but to do as he was told.

Tao, who was almost frightened to death, was pulled up and secretly looked at Liu Xun, but was glanced at by Qianzhi and instantly shrank his head in fear.

After passing through a forest, Liu Xun, Lu and others arrived at their tribe.

The messy rocks are full of cracks, and a considerable space has been eroded under the cracks of varying sizes. The deer tribe members live in these cracks.

The Great Wild Forest is full of dangers. If the weak folks dare to build their tribe on the ground, they may not survive more than a night.

It was these crevices that sheltered the deer and allowed the tribe to survive.

The deer shouted towards the gap: "Tang, Pu, we are back!"

Hearing the sound of the deer, some figures moved the stones at the edge of the gap and crawled out.

The leader was a burly man with a bare chest and lush hair. A string of small animal bones hung around his neck. He spoke in a rough and loud voice, "How many deer did you hunt this time?"

The deer was embarrassed. He only hunted a musk deer and then took Liu Xun back to the tribe.

The sturdy man looked left and right, but saw no other prey except a musk deer. He frowned and said, "The children in the tribe are growing up. How can this little food be enough?"

The man is the chief of the tribe, Tang.

Tang's duty was to protect the tribe, so he did not go out hunting. These matters were left to Lu. However, the food he hunted this time was not enough for the tribe to share.

When Tang turned around, he saw Liu Xun and the extraordinary Qianzhi, and immediately asked in confusion: "What is this?"

Lu explained: "Liu is a fairy from heaven, not Anmin."

Tang frowned, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes: "Heavenly Immortal?"

"You want to capture us as slaves?"

The legends about the fairies in the sky that are circulated in the tribe include some stories that are used to scare people. It is said that some fairies in the sky like to capture wild people as slaves. When they are happy, they eat people's hearts and livers, and when they are unhappy, they bite people's legs and feet. The fairies in the sky are portrayed as demons.

Tang was not foolish enough to believe that the immortals in heaven ate humans, but it was still possible that they captured people and used them as slaves.

The barbarians have always been very wary of outsiders.

Liu Xun looked at Tang with amusement. This barbarian leader really had a lot on his mind.

The heavenly immortals could not have built the Cloud City without the help of the city's citizens, and the cloud soil was also left to the city's citizens to cultivate in order to obtain cloud essence. The two could be described as having a monarch-subject relationship.

What Liu Xun wants are the citizens of the city, not slaves.

Liu Xun took a look at the musk deer carried by the wild man, then looked at Tang who had a wary look on his face, and immediately had an idea.

The thief cried loudly and spit out a mouthful of fire. The fire flew into the air and was immediately borrowed by the birds perched nearby and flew into the woods not far away.

In a few breaths, the forest caught fire, driving out a group of panicked beasts.

The flames spread, driving the beasts towards the tribe of the wild people. The birds extinguished the flames that spread to other places in the back, leaving only this line of fire.

Liu Xun tilted his head and snorted. All the beasts, regardless of their size, knelt on the ground, trembling and unable to move.

"Is this food enough?" Liu Xun smiled as he looked at the soup.

Tang was stunned. He had never seen a scene where the prey was delivered to the door so easily.

Is this the celestial being?
The burly man swallowed his saliva. For a moment, he was caught in the same expression as Lu had before. Tao over there hadn't closed his stunned mouth yet, and now it was a little bigger.

"What exactly are you doing here in the tribe?" Tang overcame his fear and stood in front of everyone.

Liu Xun smiled like an honest farmer, and every trace of his smile was filled with sincerity: "I came here to make you my citizens of Tianshang City."

"Citizens of the Heavenly City?" The barbarians took a look at the half-crippled Qianzhi. Although there was a piece of cloud and soil, where did the Heavenly City come from?

For a while, the scene was very embarrassing.

The corners of Liu Xun's mouth twitched twice. The seriously injured Xiezhi was indeed not convincing.

Fortunately, Tang was a mature and prudent leader. He took a look at the beasts on the ground and made a decision: "Pu is inside. You should consult him about the affairs of the citizens of Tianshang City."

菩？
Liu Xun was puzzled when he heard this. Tang was the leader, so why did he need to seek other people's opinions?
After a little thought, Liu Xun stepped into the crevice of the rocks.

In the dim crevice space, tallow candles were placed on the hollow walls. When Liu Xun entered, the wind blew the candle flames, casting a large shadow.

Walking all the way to the innermost part, Liu Xun saw the Bodhisattva that Tang had mentioned.

The Buddha looked like a dry tree root, extremely old, with eyelids drooping over sunken eye sockets and countless wrinkles on his face. He was an extremely old man.

Hearing the noise, Pu slowly opened his eyes.

Unlike the expected cloudy eyes, Pu's eyes were as bright as pebbles, as if they contained all his life experiences.

"Child, what's the matter with you?" Pu moved his lips and uttered a word with difficulty.

Liu Xun faced the old man, and after a long silence, he bowed and said, "I practice the celestial magic, and I need people from your tribe to become citizens of the celestial city."

He didn't make any excuses.

Pu smiled and said, "You brought them gifts, which shows that you treat them sincerely. By becoming a citizen of Tianshang City, you can stay away from hunger, cold, and beasts. This is a good thing."

"I will let Tang take the people and leave with you."

Liu Xun rubbed his wrist and laughed awkwardly: "I haven't built the city in the sky yet, I have to wait."

Pu's eyes were kind and he spoke word by word: "That's OK, I guess you already have a plan."

Pu has experienced nearly three generations of the tribe. Although he is very old, his eyesight is extremely accurate.

The immortals in heaven have their own strengths, and becoming a citizen of the city in heaven may be the best destination for the people of the wild.

Liu Xun sighed. He thought he would have to spend more time talking to this old man, but he didn't expect him to agree so easily.

He originally thought that the wild people were simple and honest, but when he saw the situation of the entire tribe, he immediately gave up this idea.

There are only a few young and strong people in the hunting team, and the rest are all the old, the weak, women and children. It seems that if the hunting team is wiped out, the whole tribe will be on the verge of destruction.

This is not finding subjects for yourself, but finding a bunch of mouths to feed!

Liu Xun tapped the wall with his fingers and finally decided to accept them.

The wild folks are scattered all over the wilderness, forced to hide very well due to various dangers, and it takes a lot of effort to find them.

Relying on the memories of his previous life, Liu Xun found the wild tribe near Dalong City.

Even if there are a lot of elderly, weak, women and children, we'll just have to make do with them.

The methods of the immortals in heaven are mysterious, and sometimes the elderly, the weak, women and children may bring many surprises.
