Chapter 51: The Disappearance of Qiujia Village [Please vote and read]
"It's really unpredictable."
Qiu Zhen put down the [Miro Palace] jade token in his hand, feeling deeply moved.
He thought that after killing "Master Yanshan", he would be able to live a peaceful life, practice well, and increase his strength.
I never expected that the change would come so quickly.
The small town of Qingmu has become a place of attention in the world of immortal cultivation.
Countless people who practice Taoism will come here one after another, even Fairy Yunrou and Monk Zhenkong want to come and seek immortal fate.
It goes without saying that Qingmu, where many practitioners gather, will definitely be the focus of the Changle Prefecture Demon Suppression Division.
It is basically impossible to practice peacefully in Aoki in the future.
His uneasy intuition last night seemed to have come true.
Of course, no matter how troublesome the subsequent chaos was, he was actually mentally prepared. Ever since he became an immortal cultivator, he had never had peace and stability.
The most troublesome thing at the moment is the information from Fairy Yunrou that "Qingmu was upgraded to a county."
His blessed land, "Qiuzhen Valley", is located in the barren mountains far away from Aoki. It is a hilly area with mostly mountains and few plains that can be reclaimed into farmland. It is not a good place, but it can be used as a place to resettle disaster-stricken people, which is another matter.
"The top priority is to protect the blessed land"
He has become a "Yin God" and is considered a minor master in the world of immortal cultivation. However, it is basically impossible for him to protect the "Qiuzhen Valley" by force.
The only way out is to take over "Qiuzhen Valley" legitimately.
Qiu Zhen pondered secretly, and soon he had an idea, and suddenly his eyes lit up - a member of the Qiu Village clan.
The government opened up Qingmu in order to resettle the people affected by the disaster, and Qiujia Village was among them.
He could completely settle the people of Qiujia Village around the "Qiuzhen Valley", and then the "Qiuzhen Valley" would be indirectly controlled by him.
As a small disciple of Yaowang Valley, it would be extremely difficult for him to take down "Qiuzhen Valley" in his own name. But if he represented the entire "Qiujia Village", then he would have a legitimate reason and be justified. As long as he acted quickly and put in a little effort, taking down "Qiuzhen Valley" would not be a problem.
To put it another way, the people of Qiujiacun are his clan members and have watched him grow up. He cannot just stand idly by when such a big change happens.
When he thought of this, Qiu Zhen's thoughts became clearer and he went out immediately.
"Xiao Zhen."
In the Qiu residence, Qiu Tianbao, Qiu's father, was carrying food. When he saw his youngest son Qiu Zhen, he couldn't help but ask:
"It's usually easy to buy food in the city, why are you suddenly buying so much food?"
Qiu Qing, who had just entered the yard carrying food, also looked curious and puzzled.
"Dad, there's going to be a disaster with animals. We won't be able to buy food anymore."
Qiu Zhen described the turmoil in the mountains in a concise and clear manner.
"No wonder there have been vicious beasts coming out of the mountains to hurt people these days."
Qiu Tianbao, the father of Qiu, and Qiu Qing suddenly realized something, but soon, the expressions of the father and son changed:
"Our Qiujia Village"
"Dad, big brother, I'll go to Qiu Village right away."
Qiu Zhen hurried out.
In fact, after passing two levels in a row, it seems that Qiu Zhen's legs are faster than the horse.
However, the beast tide was imminent and there was chaos outside. In order to save energy and prevent any accidents, Qiu Zhen immediately went to Qingmu Medicine Store to borrow a horse, carried a bow and arrow, took a knife, called Baizhu, and headed straight for Haitang Township.
The horse galloped all the way.
What made Qiu Zhen happy was that the beast tide had not yet reached Haitang Township, and no large-scale beast tide was seen along the way.
Even outside Qiujia Village, he did not see any trace of the beast tide.
"Fortunately, we were well-informed and received the intelligence early."
Qiu Zhen looked at the quiet Qiujia Village from afar and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Along the way, he was worried that Qiujia Village would unfortunately be attacked by a tide of beasts, so he even brought Bai Zhu with him.
Fortunately, Qiujia Village does not seem to have encountered a large-scale attack by ferocious beasts at the moment, and it is relatively peaceful.
"drive!"
Qiu Zhen drove his horse straight to the village entrance.
Soon, the happy smile on his face faded a little, and his face was filled with heavy emotion.
The reason is simple: the village is too quiet.
He came on horseback, making quite a noise. If it were any other day, the dogs in the village would have started barking, one after another, forming a continuous sound.
People also poked their heads out from the earthen wall at the city entrance to observe the situation outside the village.
However, there was no movement in Qiujia Village at this time. The surroundings were quiet, so quiet that it was a little disturbing. "What happened?"
Qiu Zhen's heart sank, and he rode his horse at full speed and arrived at the village entrance.
"Hey~"
Bai Zhu looked around and observed the village with a suspicious look on his face.
"This"
Qiu Zhenxin suddenly sank into the valley.
The village was eerily quiet. Not a dog could be heard barking, and no one could be seen. It was as if everyone in the village had disappeared out of thin air.
Qiu Zhen dismounted and looked around the village, but did not find any ferocious beasts invading, nor did he see the tragic scene of the Qiu family fighting with the ferocious beasts.
Since there was no beast tide, then what happened?
Could it be that the Qiu family also knew that a beast disaster was about to occur and evacuated in advance?
However, the best option for evacuation is towards Qingmu Town. If you go in other directions, it will be even more dangerous. If you are not careful, you may encounter a tide of beasts, and things will become even worse.
Qiu Zhen felt a little uneasy. The third eye between his eyebrows emitted golden light and he was searching for something around.
Still found nothing.
However, he did not lose his composure.
I randomly entered a house and searched around.
"Most of the family's belongings are still there. They don't look like they left to escape the famine. Where did the people go?"
Qiu Zhen became more and more confused.
The common people in the countryside don’t have much belongings, so they treasure their pots, pans, and utensils very much. If they were to flee, they would like to take everything with them as long as they can.
At this moment, he randomly entered a few houses and found that most of the things were there, and the furnishings in the house were not messy, and it did not look like anything had happened.
The strange and unknown scene before him made him feel a little uneasy.
"If you didn't leave, where would you go?"
Qiu Zhen thought to himself, and soon he thought of something.
Could it be in the back mountain?
Qiu Zhen grew up in Qiujia Village and knew what was going on in the village.
As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows.
In the wilderness, competing with ferocious beasts for survival is not an easy task.
In order to deal with various emergencies, each village will build a temporary shelter to prevent accidents.
There are naturally some in Qiujia Village as well.
The temporary shelter was in a cave on the back mountain, where he often played as a child.
"Bai Shu, go!"
Qiu Zhen tied the horse at the entrance of the village, and without saying a word, took Bai Zhu and headed straight for the back mountain of Qiujia Village.
Walk to the back mountain.
"嘤嘤~"
Bai Zhu might have sensed something, he shrank his neck, looked in the direction of the cave, his suspicious face full of vigilance.
Qiu Zhen's expression changed slightly and his heart sank.
The reason is simple: the appearance of the mountain behind Qiujia Village has changed drastically.
Under the gaze of his third eye, he could see everything clearly.
The scene of green mountains and flowing water in the back mountain disappeared, replaced by rolling blood mist, which was eerie and strange.
The source of the rolling blood mist is the refuge cave.
"Qiujia Village did not encounter a beast disaster, but a demon disaster."
Qiu Zhenxin sank into the valley.
The most undesirable scene happened.
Just as he was thinking, several sounds of breaking through the air suddenly exploded.
"Swish swish~"
