Chapter 62: Conscription

What kind of people were captured in one net by the Green Jade Sect? Liu Liu Xiaolou knew a little bit. They were nothing more than rogue cultivators from all over the place who came after hearing the news. The Wulong Mountain comrades were basically not among them.

There were also some family children who wanted to take advantage of the Green Jade Sect, but ended up losing both people and goods. Of course, they relied on the Zhanglong Mountain, Dongyang Mountain, and the Lu family of Heavenly Matriarch Mountain, so there was no need to worry about any danger, but Liu Liu Xiaolou estimated that the possibility of their property being returned was small.

Truly dangerous. Thinking of this, Liu Liu Xiaolou couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. If the Wulong Mountain comrades fell into the hands of the Green Jade Sect, even if they didn't settle the old accounts, just based on the case of looting the Dongting Zhou family manor, I'm afraid many heads would fall.

In the following days, Qing Jie sent back news one after another. The Green Jade Sect captured seventy or eighty cultivators in this net and detained them all in the stone cave of Guimeng Cliff. The Green Jade Sect nailed a thick wooden door in front of the stone cave and didn't let them out for half a step.

Thinking of seventy or eighty people stuffed into that not-so-big stone cave, eating, sleeping, and shitting for several days, Liu Liu Xiaolou had goosebumps all over. How could they live?

On the night of the fifth day, Liu Liu Xiaolou was practicing when he was suddenly awakened by the movement outside the courtyard. Looking out through the door crack, a group of cultivators kicked open the mansion opposite, and a swarm of people rushed in.

Peeking, one of them had a familiar face. It seemed to be a guest of the Zang family of Eyang Mountain. Last year, when he was harvesting spiritual fields on Eyang Mountain, he was holding a long sword and strolling around all day.

Just as he was suspicious, the people who rushed into the mansion opposite came to his door with torches, raised their hands and knocked on the door, shaking the wooden door.

"Open the door, open the door!"

"Open the door quickly! If you don't open the door, we'll break in!"

"You guys climb over the wall and go in... There is someone inside. If the master of the house runs away, catch him back!"

To some extent, the Zang family was Liu Xiaolou's master. Every autumn harvest season, he and his teacher had to go to Eyang Mountain to make a living. The Zang family belonged to the Zhanglong Mountain, which was actually the invisible protector of many rogue cultivators in Xiangxi. Liu Xiaolou thought about it, there should be no reason to come specifically to arrest himself, so he opened the door: "Coming, coming, this middle of the night, everyone..."

After the door opened, the other side didn't break in hard. The leader said: "We are from the Zhanglong Mountain..."

The guest Liu Xiaolou recognized was beside him and immediately added: "Zang family of Eyang Mountain, this is my master... Eh? You are... Liu Xiaolou, from Wulong Mountain, right? Last year when harvesting spiritual fields, you came to our Eyang Mountain to help."

Liu Liu Xiaolou really didn't expect this guest to recognize himself. Could it be that he was idle all day and turned around in the field, and it wasn't really just turning around?

"Seen Master Zang, you are the great benefactor of our Xiangxi, thank you for your care, junior pays respects to you!"

This Master Zang was named Zang Zang Baili, rumored to be a master of the Golden Core Perfection Realm. Liu Liu Xiaolou didn't dare to be slow, and hurriedly bowed and clasped his fists.

Zang Zang Baili nodded and said: "So it is a rogue cultivator from our Xiangxi... Why are you here?"

Liu Liu Xiaolou smiled bitterly: "Isn't it the Green Jade Sect... To tell you the truth, junior is truly wronged. Regarding the Zhou family manor incident, junior didn't participate at all, but when the nest is overturned, there is no complete egg? No way, had to avoid here temporarily."

Zang Baili said solemnly: "Well said, when the nest is overturned, there is no complete egg? Xiangxi is the Xiangxi of Xiangxi people after all. The Green Jade Sect is far away in Xiangdong, suddenly running to our Xiangxi, occupying the magpie's nest, and actually refusing to leave. It is truly bullying people too much! Today, our Xiangxi cultivators rise up, just to seek justice from the Green Jade Sect. It is not just our Zhanglong Mountain, many fellow practitioners from the Xiangnan Dongyang Mountain and Xiangzhong Heavenly Matriarch Mountain are also indignant and come to help, just to take back your home for you!"

Liu Liu Xiaolou was very excited, clapped his hands and praised: "Our rogue cultivators have suffered from the Green Jade Sect for a long time. Master Zang is willing to come forward for us, we are grateful!"

Zang Zang Baili waved his hand repeatedly: "It is not that I come forward, my Zang family is also under the protection of the Zhanglong Sect. It is Zhanglong Mountain that comes forward for you."

Liu Liu Xiaolou still clapped his hands: "Always will remember Master Zang's benefits!"

Zang Baili asked: "Who is the mansion opposite? We have come in large numbers, ready to stay in Wuchao Town, and need to borrow it for a few days."

Liu Liu Xiaolou hurriedly said: "The master of the mansion opposite is not there all year round, and the courtyard is large. Master Zang can just stay."

Zang Zang Baili nodded, looked at the guest beside him, and the guest touched a wooden sign from his bosom and stuffed it into Liu Liu Xiaolou's hand.

Liu Liu Xiaolou didn't know why, lowered his head and looked, the front of the wooden sign was written with the word "Conscription", and the back was written with the words "Zhanglong". His face suddenly changed.

This thing is the conscription order of the Zhanglong Sect. Five years ago, when the Zhanglong Sect fought with the Gengsang Cave, they issued this order. Teacher Mr. Master Sanxuan received it, fought with the Gengsang Cave cultivators for more than a month, and worked hard during the period without any remuneration. His teacher was also stabbed in the leg.

That guest said: "You are from Wulong Mountain. This time taking back the home, you should be even more fearless and strive to be the first! You first belong to the Zang family, and listen to the master's orders."

Liu Liu Xiaolou opened his mouth for a long time without saying a word. Zang Zang Baili smiled and encouraged him, then looked into his courtyard, saw that it was indeed very narrow, and led the team back to the large courtyard opposite.

Closing the door, Liu Liu Xiaolou suddenly felt a burst of powerlessness, leaned against the door to steady his mind, and secretly pondered, run or not run?

The Green Jade Sect is undoubtedly sitting in the first chair in the Jingxiang land. If it is a single fight, whether it is Zhanglong Mountain or Dongyang Mountain, including Heavenly Matriarch Mountain, etc., they are not opponents. But the three sects alliance fights the Green Jade Sect, the Green Jade Sect cannot fight.

If you follow the conscription order, can you survive the big battle? He has no experience in this level of big battle, but he has seen the mountain god manifested by the Green Jade Sect. Thinking of the divine power of that mountain god overlooking all living beings, he felt his scalp numb.

If you escape, of course you can avoid the big battle, but from then on, you can no longer mix in Xiangxi, far away from this familiar landscape, familiar friends, becoming a wandering cultivator, drifting like a rootless duckweed, he also dare not imagine. Is it so easy to wander the world?

Besides, the three sects fight one sect, it is a sure-win battle, his escape seems very worthless.

After thinking all night, Liu Liu Xiaolou decided to go out and see the situation first. Even if he really wanted to escape, he had to look at the retreat.

He was very familiar with Wuchao Town. The town itself is not big, with one main street, seven or eight alleys, facing the Wuchao River in the south, leaning against the east vein of Wulong Mountain in the north, and gentle hills in the east. So if you want to escape, you have to jump into the river or drill into the mountain. But he walked around the town and found that he could basically dispel this idea.

The town has been flooded with I don't know how many cultivators, all from the Zhanglong Sect. Except for the main mountain of Zhanglong Mountain, more than a dozen families and small sects including the Zang family of Eyang Mountain have all come out, and the Wuchao Town has been completely blocked by the Zhanglong Sect. There are checkpoints at all exits, not only preventing outsiders but also preventing insiders.

Liu Liu Xiaolou returned to his small courtyard helplessly and seized the time to cultivate, hoping to clear the Daling acupoint as quickly as possible.

Breaking through one more acupoint and storing one more fraction of true qi would be beneficial when fighting for his life.
