Sword Moon Lyrics
Chapter 1003 Partridge Mountain
Guo Xuangun replied in a low voice, "Father, the fence was built the day before yesterday, but I found that the measurements were wrong and the houses built in the village were not enough to live in, so I demolished the east fence and expanded it outwards..."
Guo Guanqi said angrily, "Is your tolerance too narrow? Is your third uncle old and confused? This calculation can all be wrong!"
"Father, since my ninth brother died in the battle, my third uncle has lost all energy. Zhuangzi's people are homeless and complain a lot, so they are slow to do things..."
Guo Guanqi was furious, but upon hearing these words, his anger turned into a sigh.
What could he say? The Guo family has lived in Liuji Town for more than two thousand years and has intricate roots.
More than 20 years ago, the Demon Puppet Sect occupied Liuji Town and the Guo family was forced to surrender.
The Demon Puppet Sect was very worried about the Guo family. In addition, they wanted to set up the Spirit Demon Heavenly Cauldron Formation in Liuji Town, so they ordered the Guo family to move south to Mian County, three hundred miles away.
Only ten years after settling in Mian County, the Spirit Demon Heavenly Cauldron Formation was destroyed, the Demon Puppet Sect was retreating steadily, and the Guo family also continued to move south.
In the past year, the whole family, old and young, has moved around, changing places almost every ten days and a half.
Last month, Guo Guanqi went to Xuwan City to take a look around. He felt that the southern suburbs had a gentle terrain and a canal in front of it. The location was very good, so he wanted to build a village and establish a new gate here.
But Old Monster Mo felt that Xuwan City was too close to Golem Mountain, and he might be worried if he defected.
So, after some thought, the Guo family was driven to Maopai Village in Partridge Mountain.
When Guo Xuangun saw that his father was silent, he took two steps closer and said, "Now the clan members are very resentful. During the war, the Taiji Sect called us traitors, and the Demon Puppet Sect wanted us to die in the battle.
Last time the head of the Shen family died in battle, the Demon Puppet Sect only gave him 100,000 spirit stones for burial expenses..."
"Shut up!" Guo Guanqi turned around and glared at his son, "Do you know how much trouble this will cause if it spreads to Golem Mountain!"
Guo Xuangun shut his mouth and did not dare to complain again.
Guo Guanqi sighed, "Xuan Gun, I don't care how others scold me, what I have to do is to preserve the Guo clan. You will also take over the position of clan leader in the future, and then you will understand the difficulties of being a father. By the way, where did the second child go?”
Guo Xuangun smiled bitterly and said, "He went to the mines, and now our Guo family has become a mining coolie!"
Guo Guanqi looked at the mountains in front of him and said slowly, "Do you look down on mining? If God could allow our family to mine in peace in Partridge Mountain, I would be willing to burn incense every day."
Okay, don't say anything depressing. Go down immediately and tell them not to build houses. First, fence them up, build pavilions and moats, and arrange for patrols and guards. "
"Yes, father."
At night, the third watch is approaching. The village, which had been noisy all day, finally fell into complete silence.
There is no moon in the sky, only a few remaining stars twinkling faintly.
There are two foundation-building monks standing guard at the two pavilions in the east and west of the village. However, they were all in low spirits, squatting on the wooden pagoda and chatting.
A dozen wooden houses have been built in the middle of the village. According to the plan, this place will be an ancestral hall in the future, but now it is used for temporary settlement. The clan members who do not have houses are crowded inside.
Separated by a courtyard, there are four rooms where the patriarch Guo Guanqi lives. At this moment, the moonstone is still shining.
The clan elders meeting had just dispersed, leaving only the Guo family and his son in the room.
The second young master, Guo Fuchun, rubbed his temples, "We have been discussing for an hour and a half, but nothing has been decided. Just listening to the third and fifth uncles complaining and cursing makes my head buzz with noise!"
Guo Xuangun frowned, "It's no wonder that Third Uncle and the others are happy. Who can be happy in this situation?"
Guo Guanqi glanced at Guo Xuangun. He knew in his heart that his eldest son had always been dissatisfied with his surrender to the Demon Puppet Sect.
After all, Guo Xuangun is a direct disciple of Yantailing, and his master is none other than Master Li Qing.
In the early years, Guo Xuangun had been following his master to fight against the Demon Puppet Sect. He was influenced by his ears and eyes and was taught by his master. In his eyes, the Demon Puppet Sect was evil and crooked!
Back then, the Demon Puppet Sect's army was pressing down on the country. Guo Guanqi felt something was wrong, so he asked the sect for help.
Xuandao sent more than fifty disciples to support Guojiazhuang, including Guo Guanqi's eldest son Guo Xuangun.
As a result, after Guo Xuangun returned, Guo Guanqi no longer had any worries, and after two battles, he surrendered to the Demon Puppet Sect.
Because of this matter, Guo Xuangun had a knot in his heart and criticized his father.
Guo Guanqi shouted, "After you complain, let's get down to business. Let's see what are the current urgent tasks?"
Guo Fuchun looked at the jade slip in his hand and muttered, "There are still forty-eight houses left. The wall needs to be extended three hundred feet to the east, but the ground to the east is full of rocks and it is difficult to dig."
"Besides these, is there anything else?"
"The Demon Puppet Sect wants us to mine 300,000 spirit stones this month, 30,000 of which belong to us, and the remaining 270,000 will be sent to the Demon Mountain. However, the tools in the mine are too old and there are not enough manpower..."
Guo Guanqi interrupted, "The mining people don't care in advance, we haven't settled down yet, how can we mine! If the higher ups are to blame, I will push back. Let's establish Zhuangzi first."
Guo Fuchun replied, "There are too many things lacking in Zhuangzi. The array to protect the village, the pavilion, the practice ground, and the treasure pavilion have not been built. Now the treasures in the clan are still scattered and kept by the elders."
Guo Guanqi pondered for a moment, "Although things are complicated, they are also divided into priorities. Xuan Gun, you call your sixth uncle tomorrow and summon all the formation masters in the clan to set up the formation to protect the village first.
Second brother, don't go to the mine now. Arrange for manpower to repair the fence. The pavilions and pavilions should be built every hundred steps as before to ensure good weather conditions.
I've noticed that the people on patrol are in low spirits these days. You ask your third uncle to come with you. He presides over the execution hall. Everyone is afraid of him. "
After hearing this, Guo Fuchun felt a little depressed, "Father, are you all going to set up defenses? What about other things?"
Guo Guanqi's voice was low, but his tone was unquestionable, "The top priority is to set up defenses. This is to save lives! Are other things as important as lives?"
Guo Fuchun said suspiciously, "Father, did you get any news? Someone is going to attack us?"
Guo Guanqi sighed, looking indescribably tired, "There is no news. But Xuan Ming is dead, do you think Tai Chi Sect will let it go?
I know the temper of Master Xuan Yi very well. He is getting older and stronger, so he is bound to take revenge.
The Partridge Mountain where we are located is in the far west, surrounded by desolation, and there is no echo from the Demon Puppet Sect's city at all..."
Guo Fuchun was frightened when he heard this, "Father, are you saying that Tai Chi Sect might attack us secretly?"
Guo Guanqi was about to speak when someone outside the window suddenly said, "Second Young Master guessed it right!"
Although the voice was soft, the three people in the room heard it clearly and couldn't help shouting in unison, "Who is it?"
They didn't expect that someone could sneak into the village quietly and hide outside to eavesdrop!
Among the three, Guo Guanqi had the highest level of cultivation and the most experience. He instantly recognized that the sound was coming from outside the east window.
He poked his finger in the air, and the wooden window shattered with a click. However, there was nothing outside the window.
Guo Guanqi was shocked, how could it be possible?
Before he could use his spiritual consciousness and secret skills to examine, "click", the three-inch-thick wooden board that had just been laid on the ground suddenly cracked a big hole, and a black shadow surged up from the ground.
"Stone Escape Technique?" Guo Guanqi exclaimed in a low voice!
The land in Maopai Village is barren. The soft soil is only one foot thick, and below that is hard rock.
And this person flew up, obviously not using Earth Escape, but Stone Escape!
Could it be him? Guo Guanqi felt deep fear in his heart.
The situation at this moment did not allow him to think too much, so he immediately shot out his right palm and hit the man in black on the back.
The man in black twisted and dashed, avoiding the wind of Guo Guanqi's palm, and rushed towards Guo Xuangun, as fast as lightning.
Guo Xuangun was a fake alchemy monk. He was a disciple of Master Li Qing, and his magical powers were as good as those of Zhu Yu.
During Tai Chi Sect competitions, his rankings were always among the top eight, and he was a rare genius disciple in the inner sect.
He was calm in the chaos and knew that the assassin was a golden elixir monk who could teleport. If he turned around and ran away, he would not be able to outrun the opponent.
Guo Xuangun stepped back, pointed his right hand, and the sword flew out of his sleeve and struck the man in black head-on. As long as the man in black dodges sideways, his father can arrive and stop him.
