Qingyunxian

Chapter 45 Clues

This was the highest warning message from the Deng clan of Qingdeng Village. Coming down from Yuncheng were clan leader Deng Yao and great elder Deng Tianguang.

Deng Tianguang was an old man with great spirit. He was leaning on a dragon-shaped staff with intricate patterns. His face was ruddy under his white hair. "Zhou, what's the important matter that has brought us here?"

He turned his head and looked around, his eyes swept over Deng Changsheng, and found that there was no problem with the captive wind weasel.

Deng Dazhou repeated to the Great Elder what Deng Changsheng had said.

Deng Changsheng described the situation in detail, but found that the expressions on the faces of the chief elder and the clan leader were unchanged.

"Ridiculous! We have set up a cloud spell in the village. The entire Qixian Mountain is covered by the earth-path cloud spell. The underground is as solid as a rock. How could there be a ferocious beast living in the solid underground?"

The clan leader spoke first, his aura of dignity and majesty evident. He had considered that some ferocious beasts that were good at digging in the soil might sneak into the village, so he arranged the cloud method in advance.

Now Deng Changsheng said that there was a ferocious beast sleeping underground, which seemed to be a slap in the face.

The Great Elder coughed and said, "Since you said you found a sleeping beast, then take us to see it!"

Deng Changsheng was stunned. He was only concerned with guiding the strong men of the tribe to kill Liu Xun, and had no idea where Liu Xun found the strange and ferocious beast.

Seeing Deng Changsheng hesitate, the clan leader snorted coldly.

Although he is a righteous Yunxian, it doesn't mean he has a good temper.

"According to clan rules, those who lie should go to the ancestral temple in Yuncheng to receive punishment!" The clan leader waved his sleeves and left.

The Great Elder glanced at Deng Changsheng and said: "You have low aptitude and a treacherous mind. It is difficult for you to ascend to the great path!"

Deng Changsheng couldn't help but clench his fists when he heard the great elder's comments.

From the day he was born, he was labeled as a side branch.

Because of his poor physique and narrow soul, practicing the heavenly magic took more energy than others, and the results were minimal, so no one looked up to him as a branch of the Deng family.

Perhaps any mortal from Qingdeng Village would be much stronger than Deng Changsheng.

Deng Changsheng's parents died early, and he relied entirely on support from his clan.

When I was six years old, I took the qualification test and was looked down upon.

But Deng Changsheng never gave up. He did not give up on himself to practice earthly martial arts, but was waiting for the visualization method to be passed down by his clan this winter.

But before everything even began, his impression among the great elders and clan leaders had already hit rock bottom.

Deng Changsheng unclenched his fists, ignored Deng Dazhou's disappointed look, and turned away.

Since no one believed him, he went to deal with the devil who had buried the whole village by himself.

"I remember that man didn't bring the ferocious beast with him when he entered the village, which means the ferocious beast was already in the village!"

"What was that green bud that was holding up the little turtle?"

Deng Changsheng had doubts in his heart. This time he had to rely on himself and not miss any information.

After waking up from his dream, Deng Changsheng exhaled, "I saw it clearly. The green sprouts are ugly and weird, like green earthworms. Did the outsiders use them to kill the wind weasels and dig out the turtles?"

Connecting the causes and consequences, Deng Changsheng finally pieced everything together.

Once, Deng Changsheng went to investigate the cause of death of the wind weasel and found that its chest was pierced. The wound was small and hidden. Considering the size of the green earthworm, he immediately determined that Liu Xun had killed the wind weasel in the village with the green earthworm.

Afterwards, Deng Changsheng's original suspicions were verified one by one.

Green earthworms move underground, where they may encounter small turtles.

The remaining problem is to get the turtle with back-tracking skills before Liu Xun, so as to break Liu Xun's trump card that threatens Qingdeng Village.

"Where is it hiding?" Deng Changsheng rubbed the side of his head with a serious expression.

Just as the tribe leader said, the ground was cast with the Earth Dao Cloud Magic, and the mud was extremely solid. Ordinary ferocious beasts could not break through the mud and stone barrier outside the Immortal Mountain.

But the village is located in Qixian Mountain, and the mud and stone barrier is on the outermost layer. The effect becomes weaker as you go deeper into the village. It is reasonable for the little turtle with a back-mirror image to be sleeping underground.

Deng Changsheng walked all over the village but could not find any trace of Jianyuan.

In desperation, Deng Changsheng could only pin his hopes on Liu Xun, the person who first discovered Jianyuan. He observed that the heads of green earthworms would occasionally pop out from the cracks in the stone slabs on the ground of the village, just like the green grass that grew out, and if you didn't pay close attention, you would definitely not notice it.

Deng Changsheng was overjoyed. He knew he could find Jianyuan's location by following the traces left by the green earthworms.

After dying and waking up from dreams again and again, Deng Changsheng finally found the location where Jian Yuan was sleeping.

During this period, Deng Changsheng died many times in the Yuanyang Fire, and was also discovered and killed by Liu Xun many times for following Qingqiu.

Until he was caught by Liu Xun one time, and Liu Xun accidentally did not kill him. Seeing that the day was about to pass, Deng Changsheng gritted his teeth, died from a shock to his heart, and woke up from his dream again.

If he didn't commit suicide, he would wake up in Liu Xun's place the next day.

Deng Changsheng accidentally developed a new way to trigger his abilities, but he was not happy at all.

Self-vibration of the heart pulse is so painful!

When he woke up this time, Deng Changsheng covered his chest and laughed. He finally found Jianyuan.

There was no time to eat early, so he went to the place where Jianyuan was sleeping before dawn.

It was an open space on the street corner, shady and cool.

Deng Changsheng took out a shovel forged from fine steel and began to dig carefully in the field.

Deng Changsheng died several times because of the excavation of Jianyuan.

When digging the soil, he accidentally shone the front of the cloud-patterned bronze mirror on Jianyuan's back and died!

The shovel sank into the mud, and because of excessive force, it cut Jianyuan's half-exposed head. Jianyuan woke up, everyone in the village died, and the Immortal Mountain collapsed!

After dying many times, Deng Changsheng finally found Jian Yuan's location, and this time there was no mistake.

Although the underground was covered with the Earth Dao Cloud Method, the soil beneath Qingdeng Village was not very solid, otherwise it would not be conducive to the frequent construction changes of the village.

All the ferocious beasts were blocked outside the Qixian Mountain. The outermost layer was the most solid, while the center was only slightly harder than ordinary soil.

Even a mortal like Deng Changsheng can dig it out, but it will take a lot of effort.

After finally digging out Jianyuan, Deng Changsheng carefully avoided the front of the cloud-patterned bronze mirror and held the little turtle in his hand.

"With this ferocious beast, as long as we plan properly, we can definitely kill that outsider!" Deng Changsheng was delighted. He looked up and saw that it was getting light, so he took Jianyuan back directly.

After Liu Xun finished the breakfast brought by the maid, he prepared to stroll around the streets and take a look at the customs of Qingdeng Village.

Before going out, Liu Xun habitually glanced at the Huang Jing, but felt a little confused.

The patterns within the Wilderness Scripture were the same as usual, but the essence and blood within were very different.

To be precise, the growth rate of these essence and blood is a bit abnormal.

Liu Xun was an immortal who lived for 400 years in his previous life. As the master of the Desolate Scripture, he knew it inside and out.

The Wilderness Sutra can autonomously strengthen the essence and blood contained within it, but the speed is slow.

The ferocious beasts are okay, but the auspicious beasts and disaster beasts have mysterious abilities. The speed at which the Wild Sutra strengthens their essence and blood is extremely slow, far slower than the blood nourishing method.

However, Liu Xun discovered that the blood of the Thief of Fat, the Infant Spoon, and the Gluttonous Earthworm had grown a lot stronger on their own, at least two drops more than yesterday, and it was growing even faster than the blood nourishing method!
This is not common sense!

Liu Xun stopped for a moment. He has always been suspicious and cautious, and just this strange thing has made Liu Xun suspicious.

Why does this happen?

Is there something in Qingdeng Village that can interfere with Huang Jing?

Liu Xun immediately suppressed this thought. The Desert Scripture is a Taoist treasure. Although its power is only one tenth of what it used to be, its essence has not changed.

Even a Seventh-level Cloud Immortal would find it difficult to affect the core capabilities of Daobao.

Liu Xun's mind turned, and he immediately thought of a possibility.

Since the Huang Jing was not affected, can we suspect that something else was affected?
