Chapter 104 Awakening of Magical Powers
After completing his mission, General Long Feng respectfully took his leave.
Zhou Qingshan didn't know that he was being stared at by Young Master Zhao. He then introduced Mo Yanqiu and Gao Feixue to the Thunder Knight, and the two got to know each other.
The leader of the Thunder Knights is Rui, and his deputies are Li and You. According to the tradition of the Fang Clan, their real name should be Thunder Rui, but no matter what kind of dog the Fang Clan is, they all call themselves the Fang Clan.
This is for the sake of internal unity. The same is true for the Flying Eagle Clan. The clan does not have a king, or rather, their clan king is the human race.
These three Huskies all have the strength to rival warriors at the level of Hercules. In addition, their mounts are spiritual beasts with the blood of exotic beasts. The combination of the two, plus human weapons, can be said to be as swift as wind and thunder, extremely powerful.
His strength is also at the upper-middle level among the Dog Fang Clan, and he ranks highly.
This team of Thunder Knights is very young. They are the strongest knights in Black Cloud City, among the eight-year-olds of the Dog Fang Clan who have not yet recognized a master. The Dog Fang Clan will never have two masters in their lifetime. Ninety percent of the clan members will be loyal to the Lord of Black Cloud City, and only a very small number will follow other human races.
Moreover, the Canine Tooth Clan is particularly easy to feed. They do not need to eat spiritual seeds to feed themselves. They will accept anything given to them.
After the two got familiar with each other, Zhou Qingshan rode the black dragon horse to Zhaoxian Street.
The mansion lord also gifted him the two black dragon horses. This spiritual beast is the symbol of the Black Dragon Army and its strength is unquestionable.
It is just right for the guards at home to practice riding skills. This mount is extremely important in the fog. Since animals have low spiritual power, they are less affected by the fog and have a clearer vision of dozens of steps more than humans, so they will not get lost or fall off a cliff.
Therefore, most soldiers attach great importance to their mounts. If weapons are their hands and feet, then mounts are their eyes. Both are equally important.
Zhaoxian Street.
They were ragged and dusty, obviously they had come a long way. Yesterday's news was like a spring breeze, spreading to every corner nearby - a lord was recruiting farmers here, promising to provide food, shelter and land for cultivation.
Therefore, farmers living in difficult circumstances in several nearby streets came here with hope.
When a group of knights riding huge black and white wolves appeared, there was a commotion among the crowd.
Zhou Qingshan glanced roughly at the crowd and estimated that there were nearly a thousand people.
Most of them are young and strong, but most of them are thin and pale, showing signs of long-term malnutrition.
Among them, there are a few farmers who bring their families with them, including their wives and young children.
Zhou Qingshan rode up on his black dragon horse and talked to them, and asked Li and You to take the knights to maintain order. The farmers quickly lined up and began to register one by one.
There were about two hundred farmers with their families, and Zhou Qingshan kept all of them, regardless of whether they were young or strong.
Those with special skills were left behind, and soon the remaining three hundred people were selected. Zhou Qingshan took out another ten treasure yuan and asked Gao Feixue to take people to the nearby streets to buy a large amount of food, including a small amount of meat.
The farmers ate their fill and took a short rest.
During this time, other talents in Zhaoxian Street also saw Zhou Qingshan's pomp and came forward to ask. Zhou Qingshan patiently answered that he did not want warriors, but professionals with skills, such as craftsmen, spiritual plant masters, weapon casters, doctors, pharmacists (alchemists), etc. However, those who came here were all apprentices.
But as soon as these apprentices heard the words "Countryside Spirit Realm", they turned around and left without any hesitation.
They stayed in Zhaoxian Street because they actually hoped to join the shops in other streets, or join the spiritual weapon families, rather than go to the rural spiritual realm to live a life of uncertainty.
The main rural spiritual realm is closed, unlike the Black Cloud City which has spiritual realms from all directions and abundant supplies. If you go to the countryside, you may not even be able to gather the materials for practicing. By then, your skills will be abandoned and it will be too late.
Seeing this, Zhou Qingshan gave up the idea of recruiting him.
A few days later, Wuyang Street.
He spent 100 precious yuan to rent a giant beast, Parotuo, from the Yunhe Chamber of Commerce. The person in charge of the Yunhe Chamber of Commerce did this because of the "Black Dragon Horse" that Zhou Qingshan was riding.
Then, Zhou Qingshan took 500 farmers on a Paro horse and set off back to Shengfengling.
In the past few days, Zhou Qingshan let Mo Yanqiu and Gao Feixue go to hunt strange beasts in the fog. Their luck was bad. There were no blind first-level strange beasts that dared to attack such a large group of people. They only accumulated thirty essences.
He did not choose to ripen the gourd vines on the Yunding chessboard in the fog, but waited patiently for some time.
Fortunately, the entire journey was smooth and there were no casualties.
On the sixth day, they passed Songbai Township and finally arrived at Shengfengling under the midday sun.
At this time, the gate of Lingjing Pass was opened. Zhou Qingshan saw from afar that Uncle Zhao was directing Zhou Shiqi to move large trees, while other farmers were busy building rows of temporary houses nearby.
All this was done according to his instructions when he left.
Zhou Qingshan, riding on the black dragon horse, waved to them happily and shouted:
"Uncle Zhao, Seventeen, we are back!"
When Uncle Zhao and Zhou Shiqi heard the shout, they immediately turned around with expressions of surprise on their faces.
Uncle Zhao looked at Mo Yanqiu and Gao Feixue who were intact beside Zhou Qingshan. He waved excitedly and responded: "Master, it's great that you returned safely."
Zhou Shiqi put down the work in his hands and ran quickly towards Zhou Qingshan. The ground was shaking slightly, and a bright smile was on his face: "Master, you are back a few days earlier than expected."
As he spoke, he looked curiously at the tall and mighty black dragon horse, and the Thunder Knight following beside it.
Zhou Qingshan dismounted and walked towards Uncle Zhao and Zhou Shiqi, saying with a smile, "It's a smooth journey."
The three of them chatted briefly, and Zhou Qingshan first asked Uncle Zhao to lead the new farmers into the spiritual realm for resettlement.
He led the Thunder Knight, Wu Hui Chunfeng, Lava, and Mushroom to deliver a cartload of supplies to the yard.
As soon as I arrived at the door, someone from the family came out to greet me. The figures in the front were Xiaoxiao and Zhou Xuefei.
When Xiaoxiao saw the boy, she rushed forward like a gust of wind and hugged Zhou Qingshan tightly. She said nothing, but it seemed that she had said everything. Zhou Qingshan gently stroked Xiaoxiao's back, conveying comfort and warmth with his broad palm.
The two of them immersed themselves in the tranquility for a moment.
At this time, Zhou Xuefei walked forward lightly, her eyes wandering around the luxurious carriage, her eyes flashing with curiosity and expectation. With a playful smile, she stretched out her hand and said to Zhou Qingshan:
"Brother, didn't you promise to bring back a special gift for me when you go to Black Cloud City? I'm looking forward to it, you won't let me down, right?"
"Hahaha, of course I won't forget Xue Fei." Zhou Qingshan let go of Xiao Xiao, smiled and took out a small bag of icing sugar from his sleeve, and reminded her: "I bought this especially for you. This small bag of sugar is worth two treasure yuan. You should eat it sparingly."
Zhou Xuefei smiled happily. She took the small bag, opened it carefully, took out a small piece of icing sugar, and gently put it into her mouth. She closed her eyes, savored the sweet taste, and a satisfied and happy expression appeared on her face.
"Since you have eaten my candy, you should do me a favor. Here is a little guy. I'll ask you to take care of him from now on." Zhou Qingshan picked up the mushroom next to him and entrusted it to Zhou Xuefei.
Zhou Xuefei took the mushroom elf, and her little hands embraced the soft and huge mushroom, as if she was holding a warm big pillow. Although the mushroom was large, it was extremely light and could be picked up with almost no effort. She poked her head out from behind the mushroom, her eyes sparkling with childlike curiosity.
"Brother, what is this?" she asked, her voice full of curiosity about this new creature.
Zhou Qingshan smiled slightly: "This is a plant spirit named Mushroom. It can take care of the half-acre spiritual field in the backyard."
After hearing this, Zhou Xuefei gently stroked the mushroom's head. The little guy seemed to feel her kindness and rubbed her hand gently.
"Of course, brother, I will take good care of it." Zhou Xuefei promised. She knew the importance of the spiritual field at home.
Zhou Qingshan then introduced Lava, Wu Hui Chun Feng, the psychic bird Cui Yu on his shoulder, and the Thunder Knights Rui, Li and You to Xiao Xiao and everyone in the yard.
Zhou Qingshan asked the Thunder Knights to familiarize themselves with Xiaoxiao's presence. If he was not there, they should listen to Xiaoxiao's instructions.
The Thunder Knights have keen noses and can tell that Xiaoxiao has a strong scent of Zhou Qingshan. The two have been close friends for at least several decades and they know that this little human girl is no ordinary person. She will be the next lord's wife, so they dare not neglect her and have serious expressions.
Xiaoxiao immediately called for people to start making arrangements. Books and armor were moved into the inner courtyard, while the heavy iron was placed in a row of newly built houses for future forging and use. The women in the family helped the old lady boil water, cook, and kill pigs and sheep.
The people in the yard immediately began to busy themselves.
Erhu was still hunting outside the spiritual realm at this time, leaving Gao Feixue in the outer courtyard to take charge of the situation.
After Zhou Qingshan and Mo Yanqiu visited his father-in-law and second mother, they went straight to the main house. He couldn't wait to awaken his supernatural powers.
Genting chess world.
Next to the cabin.
Zhou Qingshan and Mo Yanqiu stood under the gourd vine, gazing at the gourds hanging on the vine with gentle eyes.
Now the little firebird no longer stays near the red jade fruit, but stays near several gourds. It flies to one gourd and looks at it carefully, then pecks at another gourd.
Zhou Qingshan smiled gently, stretched out his hand to call the little flame bird, and then began to use the essence on the gourd vine. With the injection of three essences, the seven gourds on the gourd vine began to emit a dazzling light.
As time went by, the light on the gourd vines gradually faded, until it completely disappeared. After the gourds absorbed the essence, a layer of light luster flowed on their surfaces.
Finally, after a slight vibration, a gourd on the gourd vine began to sway slowly. This orange gourd seemed to gather all the light, while the surrounding gourds gradually lost their light and seemed to be shrinking in size.
Buzz!
After absorbing all the light, the orange gourd slowly separated from the gourd vine and floated in the air like a small sun, emitting rays of divine light. The air around it seemed to tremble slightly under the influence of this power.
Zhou Qingshan walked forward cautiously.
His fingertips lightly touched the surface of the orange gourd. In an instant, the orange gourd turned into a divine light and imprinted on Zhou Qingshan's forehead, leaving an orange gourd mark.
boom!
Zhou Qingshan's sea of consciousness vibrated, spiritual light spread, divine light continued to overflow from his eyes, everything became extremely clear, and the memories in his mind became clearer and clearer.
I saw my eldest brother again, my second sister, and Xiao Yanqiu behind me with red eyes and clenched fists.
He even saw memories of himself in his mother's womb.
His eyes fixed, and his memory kept recalling.
Past and Present.
The scene changes.
The sky and the earth were pitch black, and even the sun's light was unusually dim.
He actually saw himself in his previous life when he was very old.
He sat cross-legged on top of a towering building on the blue planet, wearing glasses, eyes closed, and dressed in a simple Taoist robe. The densely packed brilliant figures in the sky around him could not be seen clearly, but they seemed to be saying something to him.
day!
day!
day!
There was a sound of soaring from the sky, and countless dazzling pillars of light rose up, reaching the depths of the universe. The people of Wandai were brilliant in an instant, and countless brilliances turned into majestic bodies like planets, spreading all over the universe and the stars.
The universe is turning into a piece of white paper at superluminal speed at every moment, and the brilliant galaxy is turning into a circle on the white paper.
The old man with a childlike face did not respond to the glorious figures around him. His body was trembling slightly, with a look of silent fear on his face.
He is human, and fear is human nature.
At this moment, he seemed to sense something, and suddenly opened his eyes, looked up at the sky, and Zhou Qingshan's appearance was reflected in his turbid eyes.
I've already made my choice...
The old man stood up tremblingly.
"Gentlemen, please follow me to death."
