The patriarch of the Qin family, Qin Zhuo, greeted him with a smile, "Mister Wu, welcome, welcome. This way please!" The newcomer was the representative of the West Charm Sect in Qinguang City, Wu Qing.
Qin Zhuo brought Wu Qing in front of Luo Jie and said, "Master Luo, Master Qi, Master Qin, this is the representative of the West Charm Sect in Qinguang City, Wu Qing, Mister Wu."
Wu Qing took a step back in shock. What a joke, there were three Masters at the same time, and the kid who beat him up was sitting next to the Great Charm Master. He finally understood that his loss was not unjust, and quickly saluted, "Wu Qing greets the three Masters."
Luo Jie stared at him for a moment, and Wu Qing's back broke out in a cold sweat. Luo Jie said, "Do you know that our next stop is West Charm Sect?"
Wu Qing was surprised, "The people going to West Charm Sect … never heard of passing through Qinguang City?"
Luo Jie said, "We have something to do, so we have to leave first. Hmm, we took a shortcut to get here, and we will leave tomorrow." He added, "Take a seat, make yourself at home."
Wu Qing sat opposite Luo Jie, facing Guo Shier. He glanced at Guo Shier again, and saw the kid make a face. He smiled awkwardly, and asked, "Master Luo, this is?"
Luo Jie said casually, "This is my youngest disciple, Guo Shier, this is his senior, Qin Han, and this is my little brother, Qi Nanshan."
Wu Qing's face turned pale. This was too much of a blow. His eldest disciple was a master, and his youngest disciple had beaten him to a pulp. Even his follower was a master level talisman martial master. This was simply not letting him live.
He said with a fake smile, "Nice to meet you, nice to meet you!"
Guo Shier wanted to mock him, but his Master was sitting next to him, so it was better to act like an obedient child. He didn't say a word, and attacked the meat in the big pot. With his own condiments, the boiled meat became much more delicious. He ate a lot of it in one go. While eating, he didn't forget to prick up his ears to listen to the conversation.
Wu Qing was a very sociable person. Although he was not good at fighting, he was very good at socializing. Guo Shi 'er found that the people here were relatively simple in nature. There were not many people who were cunning. Soon, Wu Qing was talking cheerfully and wittily.
After Guo Shi 'er was full, a servant brought a copper basin of hot water. He washed his face and sat down beside his master again, asking, "Master, are there any other activities besides large-scale hunting in West Talisman Sect this time?"
"Wu Qing, Master," Luo Jie smiled, "You can ask Wu Qing. He knows more than us."
Wu said, Wu Qing, "Qing," Wu smiled, "Qing, Qing, Wu is, Wu Wu, Wu, and Han, Wu Wu, Wu, Wu Qing, Qing, is.
Wu, and Wu Wu Wu Wu was, Wu King, Guo Shier., Guo, Guo Shier, Guo Shier, was. Qing, Wu, and was, and, and was. Qing. Wu.,,, Tian, Qing.
Wu Qing's heart thumped, he was very surprised. Children were very clear about gratitude and grudges. If they hated, they hated. If they liked, they liked. They would not lie. But Guo Shier, without any hesitation, called him Uncle. This made Wu Qing bewildered. This child was too strange. He was very strong, and also very cunning. He was not easy to deal with.
"Hunting in the west, killing in the north, fishing in the east, and catching insects in the south. These four phrases … … were popular when the Four Great Alliances were first established. Not many people know of them now."
Luo Jie nodded, indicating that he knew.
Wu Qing continued, "The so-called Hunting in the west is a large-scale hunting activity that happens once every few years. This activity is mainly between West Talisman Sect and North Fu Men. East and South Talisman Sects rarely participate because they are too far away."
"Killing in the north is also a large activity between our two sects. You should know more about it than me … … I won't go into details."
Guo Shier said, "Hey, don't be anxious. I don't know … … Tell me, what is killing in the north?"
Qi Nanshan smiled and said, "Killing in the north is to organize people from both sects to go out of Savage Pass and kill savages. This is a traditional activity. However, the number of times it is held is decreasing. "
"Fishing in the east and catching insects in the south are the activities of the two sects in the south and east. Our West Talisman Sect and your North Fu Men rarely participate because they are too far away. A trip there would take at least a few years."
Guo Shier said, "Interesting. Uncle Wu, tell me about the Hunting in the west."
Wu Qing agreed. Luo Jie coldly watched from the side. He discovered that Wu Qing seemed to be a little afraid of Guo Shier. Although he couldn't explain it clearly, it was a very clear feeling.
"Thousands of years ago, there were countless wild beasts in the western prairie. Many of these beasts loved to eat humans, especially those with runes on their bodies. Thus, West Talisman Sect's responsibility was to exterminate these rampaging rune beasts. In the past few hundred years, rune beasts rarely dared to approach West Talisman Sect's territory."
"The Hunting in the west was initiated at that time. At that time, the North Fu Men were invited to participate. Later on, it gradually became a tradition. Every once in a while, they would organize a large scale hunting activity. In addition, it was also to strengthen communication, exchange of materials, and competition between disciples … … These are all part of the activities."
Luo Jie said, "I heard that the Wild Beast Secret Territory has opened?"
Wu Qing was stunned for a moment. Then, he understood that Luo Jie should have received some clear information. He didn't dare to hide anything and truthfully said, "Yes, it has been opened for a long time … … This time is very strange. After the secret territory opened, the entrance has not been closed. In order to prevent the wild beasts from escaping, West Talisman Sect sent many disciples to guard the entrance."
Qi Nanshan disdainfully said, "It's just an excuse. Isn't it to dominate the secret territory?"
Wu Qing didn't dare to refute Qi Nanshan's words. He changed the topic and said, "This time, I came with the hope that I can go with you. Haha, it just so happens that it's time for me to return to the sect." With a Great Master accompanying them, it was the safest journey.
Luo Jie didn't care if there was one more person or one less person. He said, "That's fine, but you have to prepare your own supplies. Also, along the way, you will be in charge of contacting the supply stations. We are not familiar with West Talisman Sect's supply stations."
Wu Qing said, "No problem, leave it to me."
Guo Shier secretly sighed. If he was the one to negotiate, it wouldn't just be this small request. However, since it was his master's decision, he couldn't object. He grinned at Wu Qing, scaring him so much that he shivered. He didn't know what this kid was up to.
Wu Qing was really a little afraid of this strange kid. Fortunately, he was an expert in communication. In this kind of situation, he was able to handle it with ease. He smiled a little awkwardly. Luo Jie looked at him inexplicably and thought, "What's so funny?"
Wu Qing broke out in a cold sweat after being stared at by Luo Jie. He quickly picked up a piece of meat and ate it in big mouthfuls to cover up his gaffe.
Luo Jie then realized that it was his little disciple who was playing tricks. He whispered, "Shier!" Guo Shier was shocked. He suddenly shrank his neck and whispered, "I didn't do anything!" He also felt a little guilty. Not only did he beat up the West Talisman Sect's representative, but he also extorted their sect's talisman books. If his master found out, he didn't know if he would be scolded.
The atmosphere of the banquet was not bad. With the three Great Masters in charge, no one dared to mess around.
…
The next morning, Guo Shier led the three horses to the assembly point. Master Luo Jie and Qi Nanshan had already arrived. Senior Brother Qin Han, who had come to see them off, stood on the side and reluctantly said goodbye to his master. Seeing Guo Shier arrive, he smiled and said, "Junior Brother, when you return to the inner sect, we will have a good gathering. Haha, I will leave Master in your care. Master is old, don't let him tire himself out."
Guo Shier nodded and said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother. I will take care of Master. Senior Brother, be careful on your way back."
The patriarch of the Qin family, Qin Zhuo, also stood on the side. He felt very upset. It was not easy for the family to have a Great Master, but he was determined to return to the North Fu Men and had no intention of staying. He secretly regretted thinking that Qin Han would not have many years to live. Because of this, many people coveted Qin Han's family property. As the patriarch, he did not stop them, causing Qin Han to lose a lot.
Now it was very difficult to make up for his previous inaction. Even if he mercilessly punished those people and compensated Qin Han for some of his losses, he still did not receive Qin Han's thanks. No matter if it was to him, the patriarch, or to the elders of the family, Qin Han's expression was indifferent. Qin Zhuo could not think of anything.
Qin Han said, "Master, you have too few people. I brought over ten Seal Warriors. Although their strength is not high, they are very familiar with the grasslands. Especially in winter, they can find places to hide from snowstorms, find water, and avoid large herds of beasts."
Luo Jie nodded and said, "You have thought it through. Let them follow. When we return to the inner sect, I will return them to you."
Qin Han nodded and waved his hand to call over an old man in his sixties. He said, "Master, Brother Qi, this is the leader. His name is Qin Lang … he is the best guide and a famous hunter on the grasslands."
Qi Nanshan nodded and said, "Yes, follow me. I need you to lead the way … are you familiar with the road to West Talisman Sect?"
Qin Lang nodded and said, "I am very familiar with the road to West Talisman Sect. Haha, I have walked this road back and forth seven times."
Qi Nanshan said, "That's good. Where to rest and how to walk will be up to you. I will not interfere." This was experience. He knew the harshness of the grasslands in winter. With someone familiar with the grasslands leading the way, it could reduce a lot of risks. With such a person coming over to help, it would only be good for them. Therefore, he boldly delegated authority to Qin Lang.
Qin Lang's appearance was very old. The wind and frost of time had carved deep marks on his face. He also brought three horses. One horse carried supplies, and the other two horses were used to exchange for mounts.
Guo Shier and his four companions packed the horses and luggage. They had brought a lot of things. Just the talisman pouches alone numbered in the hundreds. They were all stored in leather pouches made from animal skins. Ever since Guo Shier learned how to make talismans, he would make talisman pouches when he had nothing to do. A palm-sized talisman pouch could hold hundreds of kilograms of items. This was what fascinated Guo Shier the most. But that was not all. The important items were all stored in large talisman pouches. They had to be carried at all times.
Luo Jie couldn't understand Guo Shier's actions. He didn't know why the little guy wanted to bring so many supplies. However, he wouldn't interfere too much with his precious apprentice's matters. As long as Guo Shier liked it, he didn't care how many things the little guy brought.
Luo Jie said, "Dashan, let's go."
Qi Nanshan nodded and said, "Okay."
