The old patriarch looked kindly at his grandson and the little girl running out of the living room, then put away his warmth and restored the majesty of the clan leader, his cloudy eyes shining with the light of wisdom.
"The two young men are very brave for daring to come to Niujiazhai in Niuji Mountain."
He praised and looked at Niu Ba with questioning eyes.
Niu Ba understood and introduced, "This is Mo Jiuxuan of the Wuji Sect, and Liu Buhui of the Cangyu Sword Sect. Both of them are masters of the twelfth level of foundation building and have extraordinary strength."
When the Wuji Sect was mentioned, several bull demons seemed unable to hold back and snorted with laughter.
Although Mo Jiuxuan was unhappy about this, he pretended not to hear it and stood calmly.
When the Cangyu Sword Sect was mentioned, the bull demons became solemn and stared at Liu Buhui with burning eyes, as if this man had a flower printed on his face.
The old patriarch looked at the laughing bull demons with a vague look, his dissatisfaction showing on his face covered with white hair.
He shook his head slightly, dissatisfied with the young man's lack of ambition and his ability to express his emotions and sorrows at will.
Having lived for nearly seven hundred years, he has seen what he should see and enjoyed the life he should enjoy. For the demon race in the transformation stage, which has a lifespan of one thousand years, he was brilliant and brilliant in the first half of his life, and now he has entered his twilight years.
Having endured the hardship of lack of experience in youth, I have greater hope for future generations.
I hope they will make less of the mistakes of young people and learn wisdom from the education and experience of their elders.
At present, judging from their reactions to the two monks from the human realm, the old tribesmen think they should know everything they should know, but they don't understand either.
His eyes first looked at Liu Buhui.
His resolute face and heroic demeanor make him a good material for swordsmanship. His appearance and imposing appearance are the best choices.
Fortunately, he is a master disciple from Cangyu Sword Sect.
Look at Mo Jiuxuan again.
He has a handsome appearance and a tall figure, as gorgeous as the river in the evening light.
They are not ordinary people.
In fact, even if these two people are as tall as wormwood and have a wild and dissolute appearance, the old patriarch will not underestimate them.
Among the descendants and nephews, there are some who are strong and fast in cultivation, but in terms of peace of mind and thoughtfulness, Niu Ba is the best candidate.
The old patriarch looked at the two of them and smiled with satisfaction. He did not show any contempt or hostility because the two were human monks.
"Niu Ba, these two are young heroes from the human race. They will never come to our Niuji Mountain for no reason."
Niu Ba nodded, and the old patriarch continued to say to the two of them in a calm tone, "The human race and the monster race fought against each other thousands of years ago, and they regarded each other as enemies. However, time has changed, the dead have passed away, and the living have remained the same. There has been no war between the two races for thousands of years.
.
We, the younger generations, cannot wallow in the hatred of the past and need to help each other.
Walking on the path to immortality is a blur. Everyone has his or her own destiny, and everyone has his or her own path. There is no such thing as you and me.
If you two need any help, just ask, as long as Niujiazhai can help, we will do our best."
The arguments made by the old patriarch were the only ones Mo Jiuxuan and Liu Buhui had seen in their lives. If it had not come from the mouth of the old patriarch, but from the mouth of a certain human monk, the two would definitely label him as a person with ulterior motives.
It should be noted that during the war between the human race and the demon clan, countless human ancestors died, and the descendants were full of hatred for the demon clan, and vice versa.
Regardless of whether the old patriarch was sincere or not, Mo Jiuxuan and Liu Buhui were deeply moved by these remarks.
I just don’t know if it’s sincere!
Niu Ba listened on the side and felt something was wrong. The old patriarch seemed to have misunderstood and mistook the two people for help.
He quickly said to the old patriarch, "Captain, I'll tell you the truth. In fact, I invited these two people."
"Invited?"
The old patriarch was startled, and the bull demons below were also startled. The Niu Ba, who had always been proud and arrogant, could actually use the word "please"?
The old patriarch asked, "How do you say this?"
Niu Ba immediately told the family about the discovery of the mineral vein and asked Mo Jiuxuan and Liu Buhui to come and help.
As for what happened on the top of Suolongling, he didn't mention a word.
After all, it was the demon clan who died, and it would be a bit embarrassing to say it out loud.
As for Liu Buhui, he also said that if he invited him, he should give him a face.
After all, the name of Cangyu Sword Sect’s twelfth-level foundation-building disciple is still very resounding!
The old patriarch looked displeased. The discovery of the mineral vein was a high-level secret of the family. How could he tell it to two human monks who had known each other for a short time?
The bull demons below looked at each other and winked. Immediately, a bull demon wearing gray and black armor stood up.
"Niu Ba, did you really tell these two people about this?"
Niu Ba looked over and saw that the person who spoke was the second in command of the family, Niu Gang. Before he went out to look for help, he had just been promoted to the twelfth level of transformation.
The strength ranks fourth in the entire Niujiazhai.
Niu Ba put his hands behind his hands and walked back and forth in the center of the hall, talking.
"Everyone sitting here is the mainstay of the clan, and I won't hide it any more. Thirty years ago, after the discovery of the spiritual mine, my clan, with all its strength, was unable to shake the seal in the slightest.
In other words, for the past thirty years, we have been guarding the treasure mountain without making any progress. In this way, what is the difference from Wuling Mine?
The Donghua Monster Clan is cunning, and they are unwilling to send people here. They are only in the foundation building period, and are of little use. They have to send most of their resources to their own clan, which is not worth the loss.
As a result, we can only look for foreign aid.
Brother Mo is an open-minded man and is not greedy for gains. Brother Liu is a disciple of a well-known family and has great abilities. With the two of them helping him, why worry about the seal not being removed?
Why worry about not having any spiritual stones available?"
Niu Gang said, "Are you so sure that they can help us access the seal? Don't forget, we can't break the seal with all our efforts."
Niu Ba smiled, ignored him, and turned to look at the clan leader.
For the Niuji Mountain Niuyao clan, the decision-making power of all matters still lies in the hands of the old clan leader.
The old patriarch pondered for a moment and asked in a deep voice, "So, Niu Ba, what is the price?"
Niu Ba raised a finger and said, "One percent."
"Crazy, you must be crazy? Niu Ba, you are betraying your tribe. Yicheng, do you know what Yicheng represents?"
Niu Gang's reaction was very fierce, and his attitude was recognized by most of the tribe.
That is an extremely huge spiritual vein. One-tenth of the harvest is unimaginable, so just give it away like this?
Or a human monk?
Only a few bull demons' eyes flickered, thinking about the pros and cons.
"Everyone shut up!"
The majestic voice of the old patriarch rang out, and there was immediately silence in the living room. All the bull demons looked at the deep-thinking old patriarch. Niu Gang clenched his fists, hoping that the old patriarch could immediately veto Niu Ba's move, which was almost equivalent to betraying his tribe.
.
The white-haired Niu-headed old patriarch glanced back and forth at Niu Ba and Mo Jiuxuan and Liu Buhui, but no expression could be seen.
Mo Jiuxuan understood that he was calculating. He was calculating the success rate of lifting the seal. He was also calculating whether cooperation was worthwhile. He might also be calculating against himself!
He also remained calm, turning a blind eye to the provocations of the bull demons around him, gathering his breath and waiting for the answer.
Liu Buhui is not a stupid person. He can reach the twelfth level of foundation building and is a disciple of the Sword Sect who likes to wander outside. If he had no brains, he would not be alive today.
After a cup of tea, the old patriarch put a smile on his face, assumed the look of an old man in his old age, and said with a smile, "This matter is of great importance. Let me go back and think about it. Please don't blame me."
Mo Jiuxuan and Liu Buhui immediately handed over their hands, "How dare you, it's us who are disturbing you."
The old patriarch stood up tremblingly and ordered, "Niu Ba, come with me. Niu Gang, arrange a banquet to entertain the two distinguished guests."
The two demons took the order, and Niu Ba hurriedly trotted two steps to help the old patriarch leave the living room. Niu Gang calmly came to the two of them and said, "You two, please follow the servants to bathe and change clothes. I will go and clean up, and then I will accompany you two."
A distinguished guest."
At this time, his tone was devoid of any emotion, neither expressing like nor disgust.
Mo Jiuxuan and Liu Buhui cupped their hands, "That's it, I'm sorry."
...
Mo Xiaoran followed the little scalper out of the living room, followed the little scalper Niu Meng, and wandered around the village full of primitive wildness.
There are very few people coming here, so Mo Xiaoran, a little girl, attracted a lot of attention.
She looked with great interest at the houses made of boulders, the alleys paved with gravel, the bright and curious eyes of the calves, and some ferocious-eyed bull demons on the stone steps by the roadside.
Look at it with good intentions.
But all the demons, even those who hated Mo Xiaoran, naturally showed affection when they looked at Niu Meng.
"How is it? My home is beautiful, isn't it?" Niu Meng raised her head high, her bright eyes unable to hide her love and pride for her family.
Looking around, the mottled stone houses are covered with withered yellow thatch. The bull demon, who can transform into animal skins and has a majestic figure, walks back and forth on the gravel road. The calves play happily and stand by the bridge from time to time.
"Bah" was everywhere.
Recalling the glorious hall of the sect, this place is simply... ah no, it is basically a primitive society.
"very beautiful!"
The little girl nodded hurriedly. It is very impolite to say that someone else's house is not good and the decoration is poor.
Niu Meng said "moo", very satisfied with the little girl's answer, and jumped back and forth twice, "Let's go, I will take you to my big brother. He is the tallest and strongest among us, like a big wall."
"Wall! Ha~~Okay, okay, I really hope to see him."
The little girl smiled bitterly and let the calf hold her sleeve in his mouth, walking through the alleys and arriving at the entrance of a relatively large courtyard.
Through the low stone wall, you can see a strong ox with a pair of long and curved horns, which looks very majestic.
"Big brother, big brother,"
Niu Meng jumped into the house, carrying a piece of black black iron on his back. The cow shook off the boulder and stood there, looking at the running calf with joy.
"Brother, brother, I miss you so much!"
Niu Meng said happily while rubbing her head on her elder brother's face.
The two cows rubbed their ears together for a while. The yellow cow raised its head and looked at Mo Xiaoran, sniffed the air, frowned and said, "Human race?"
Niu Meng introduced, "This is Mo Xiaoran, who came to our Niu Village with her father. By the way, it was the third uncle who invited help."
He looked at Mo Xiaoran, "Xiaoran, this is my eldest brother, Niu Ben, you love me so much!"
Mo Xiaoran forced a smile and looked at the two scalpers who kept shaking their heads and flicking their tails to chase away flies, "Yeah, I can see it."
