After a few brief exchanges, Zhao Qing came to the large crater left by the self-destruction of the five elders of the Peng family, and found bronze fragments on the ground, twisted and damaged spears, short swords, and Bian Zhu who were charred on the surface but actually intact.
sword, and a light blue token.
She checked Bian Zhu's sword and found that the sword was three feet and two inches long. In terms of length, it was obviously more suitable for her than the one foot and one inch Haocaozi sword.
Moreover, as a weapon used by secret guards lurking in other countries, it has no obvious characteristics. In appearance, it is just a fine bronze sword, which is not very eye-catching.
Although it was judged that the total number was in the thousands, and that the standard Bian Zhu sword of the Wu Kingdom's secret guard should not be as good as his own Hao Cao Zijian in terms of grade, Zhao Qing had no intention of using the two swords to decide who was better.<
/p>
She thought for a while and realized that Monkey King's current weapon is still an ordinary bamboo stick. You can give him the Bianzhu Sword to use, which should improve his combat power a lot.
I don’t know if the Wu Kingdom’s “Hongshang Sword Guard” headquarters will have the ability to track it?
However, the secret guards of Wu State tracked the mission target all the way to Kuaiji City. It should not be considered anything special and would not attract attention.
After all, during the war between Wu and Chu, there were definitely not a few such lurkers.
Putting away Bian Zhu's sword, Zhao Qing grabbed the light blue token and found that there were tiny scratches on it that were almost invisible to the naked eye.
After observing attentively, she quickly identified the ten Wu Di seal characters on the front and back.
There are actually not many differences between the languages of Wu and Yue.
Historically, when Wu Zixu persuaded Fu Chai to attack Yue, he mentioned the two countries' "common customs and common language" and believed that by conquering Yue, they could "win their people." The same was true for Yue and Wu, so the two countries "
"The forces are irreconcilable".
I saw that the front of the token was engraved with "Hong Shang Sword Master" and the back was engraved with "Yishen No. 15", which should be the identity plate of this secret guard of the Wu Kingdom.
"Yishen" refers to the middle-level division of secret guards, which is equivalent to the name of a team? Does No. 15 refer to this person's martial arts ranking in the team, or is it a randomly assigned serial number to each person?
Zhao Qing thought secretly in his heart and tried to put his mental power into the inside of the token. After all, it could survive the violent explosion unscathed, and it was at least considered a treasure.
Specially made of such a strong material, it probably has other functions.
Sure enough, under the input of her mental power, the blue on the surface of the token became slightly darker, and a circle of strange mental fluctuations emitted outwards.
"Netherworld Jade?" Peng Li found that the Zhao Qing he sensed seemed to have disappeared all of a sudden, and he couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
Zhao Qing knows that divine jade is mysterious jade. The currency unit above spiritual jade has very little circulation. It is divided into many types and has some special effects. It is said that the reason why the chariot can compete with high-level practitioners is because of the strength of its equipment.
Related to a large number of sacred jade.
A standard sacred jade is the size of a fingernail, which is theoretically equivalent to ten thousand gold, but its value on the market is much higher.
This light blue token is two inches long and one inch wide, and is probably worth more than a dozen sacred jade. Although it is still not as valuable as the Bian Zhu Sword, it is still an amazing harvest.
Zhao Qing tried the special effect of the token a few more times and confirmed that in addition to being an identity plate, it should also be a prop used by Wu Kingdom's secret guards to hide themselves when performing missions.
Both Peng Li and herself, after the token's effect was activated, lost their sense of the space around the token, and automatically felt that they were ignoring it.
According to the strength and direction of the input mental power, the size and shape of the shielding space can be controlled.
Having said that, on the way to Kuaiji City, wouldn't it be possible to greatly reduce the danger by keeping the token activated? Even if you encounter a new Wu Kingdom secret guard, he will not be able to detect you.
On the way back to Chungquanyi, Zhao Qing carefully checked her mental condition and found no mental imprint left by the enemy before his death that could be used for tracking, which made her completely relieved. p>
Somehow, she had a feeling that Peng Yu's body was probably tens of thousands of miles away from here. It was difficult to even confirm the approximate location of the self-destruction
to arrive, let alone quickly find and hunt him down.
In fact, logically speaking, if Peng Yu's mind, body, and spirit could find its true form quickly after breaking away from its possession and escaping, and was confident of hunting her down, it would not have paid a huge price and exploded brazenly.<
/p>
As for Peng Yu's true form, he probably wouldn't have guessed the truth of the matter. Instead, he felt that since the enemy could force his body and mind to self-destruct, he probably had the strength of the second level of divine power and above. It was not because of the
Shen Shen wants to get rid of an enemy who will threaten him in the future.
Therefore, it is obviously inappropriate to pursue and retaliate rashly, because the other party is likely to be a master similar to him, and may also have various helpers, putting him in danger.
All in all, Zhao Qing judged that after leaving here, he would go to Kuaiji City at a normal speed, and the possibility of encountering danger during the process was not high.
……
The border between Wu and Yue, the mountain of floating jade.
The mountains stop and the water gathers, and the vitality merges; the bamboo paths lead to the green hills, and the breeze covers the green mountains; the whole situation is interconnected, and the bells and spirits are beautiful in it.
The Fuyu Mountain Range runs from southwest to northeast, with a length of more than 26,000 miles and a width of more than 4,000 miles. It has countless high peaks and stretches across Wu and Yue.
Although the land is vast and sparsely populated, there are definitely not a few practitioners hiding in it, which is even better than the Kuaiji Mountains in the central part of Yue Kingdom.
Cangshan Mountain is arranged horizontally like a screen, with verdant greenery and floating clouds gathering in the middle of the mountain. It is ever-changing and has a myriad of weather conditions, rising and falling.
One of the inconspicuous 10,000-foot peaks has a palm print close to the top that is 1,000 feet in size and sinks into the interior of the peak, forming a huge hole nearly 1,000 feet deep.
The inside of the huge cave turned out to be a green field with sparse trees. The houses were scattered high and low, like a large-scale village, shrouded in the night, especially quiet.
But there is no doubt that this will not be a simple village, because at an altitude of eight to nine thousand feet, the air is thin, and ordinary people without martial arts will not survive for long.
Dawn appeared in the distant sky, and the sky gradually became brighter.
Peng Yu's face was a little pale after a night of practice, and he slowly walked out of the small courtyard where he was, and came to an open space with a radius of 100 feet outside.
At the edge of the open space, a giant tree with a diameter of more than ten feet towered into the clouds, casting a shadow of hundreds of feet, causing darkness to envelope the entire open space, just like the gloom in Peng Yu's heart at this moment.
A gray figure floated slowly down from a branch protruding from the giant tree, and landed in the center of the open space, on a high platform made of white jade. It was a man wearing a white windbreaker, with a handsome face and deep eyes.<
/p>
The man in white looks about 25 or 26 years old, giving people a gentle and elegant feeling.
A beast several feet long, with the same stripes on its back as a tiger, and an oxtail covered with short hair, jumped from outside the clearing and landed next to him, bowing its head, looking docile.<
/p>
Peng Yu recognized that this was the "Pig", a strange beast unique to the Fuyu Mountains. Judging from its size and jumping ability, it was estimated that its strength had reached the level of divine power. It was an out-and-out monster with a vicious nature and greed.
Blood has the precedent of eating up an entire city.
But next to the man in white, the "piggy" is as docile as the most obedient rabbit, not daring to move at all.
This person is the master of Zhensu of the Void Dao, Qiao Shiji, one of the twenty-eight masters second only to the seven star masters of the sun, moon, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and a truly strong man who has reached the six-qi realm.
In the square of Xianyin Peak, every morning, masters of the six realms will unfold the spiritual field of yin and yang on the central high platform, silently increasing the speed of the practice of the surrounding gods and powers.
Although this is just a trivial matter for a strong person of this level, among the forces in the world, there are only a few among the few who can truly allow low-level members to enjoy this kind of blessing.
It is precisely because of the generosity of the organization that Peng Yu, who was always cautious after betraying the family, also developed a sense of belonging after joining Void Tao for many years.
As for Qiao Shiji's specific cultivation level, Peng Yu didn't know.
For a secret organization like Void Tao, which was labeled as a traitor by the Zhou royal family, the strength among its members is not very transparent, except for the level of positions they hold.
It is difficult to find other information besides judging strength and weakness.
However, the opponent has definitely reached a certain distance in the Six Qi Realm. Otherwise, he would not be able to serve as one of the six responsible persons born in the Void Dao for King Mu's Treasure City this time.
He looked at the extraordinary-looking Qiao Shiji on the white jade stage from a distance, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind, and he couldn't help but think of the incident that happened last night.
According to the news from the Void Dao high-level officials, King Mu’s Treasure City is suspected to be only open to those who are below three steps of the Knock Tao. In other words, the third level of Shenjin and Qi Refiners of the same level are the highest cultivators allowed to enter the Treasure City.
is the level.
Generally speaking, this kind of situation where the secret realm restricts cultivation is because the master of the secret realm wants to search for talented successors, and there are also age restrictions.
And looking at the vast Void Dao, within the age limit of a Jiazi, he is also one of the top ten masters of divine power. Once King Mu Baocheng really appears, it can be said that there is a 90% certainty that he will get the quota to enter the organization. p>
But last night, Peng Yu suddenly discovered that one of the body spirits that he had deliberately separated and sent to search for clues about King Mu's remains in Yue in order to gain an advantage in the future had completely lost his senses and had mostly dissipated.
.
Without the mind, body, and spirit, the original balance of yin and yang between the Fire Element Five Hell Strength and the Extreme Yin Youxuan Strength will be affected by more than 20%. Before adjusting and restoring stability, the strength will be significantly damaged.
Even if you exhaust the resources you have accumulated over the years, you will only be able to restore the balance of yin and yang in advance. It will be difficult to speed up the process of re-evolving the mind, body, and spirit, and there will still be many effects.
Due to this accident, the spot that I was originally sure of was now only 50% sure at best.
However, even though he deeply hated the master who destroyed his body and soul, Peng Yu remained calm and just followed the dozens of divine powers around him to speed up his practice with the help of Qiao Shiji's spiritual field.
"Brother Qiao, I kept you waiting for a long time."
Peng Yu looked back and saw a giant eagle flying quickly outside the huge cave. Sitting on the eagle's back was a young man with long silver-white hair. He jumped down from a height of hundreds of feet and landed lightly.
Stay by Qiao Tokitsugi's side.
The young man carries a five-foot ancient sword on his back. One of his eyes is pure black and the other is pure white. The black and white switches from left to right from time to time, which makes him look extremely weird. Judging from his tone, he is clearly a strong man in the Six Qi Realm. p>
"Boy Zhang, you came at the right time. I just received news from Lord Taiyin. Regarding the appearance of King Mu's Treasure City, the Sword Master Kong Zhou intends to go south and cooperate with our Void Dao."
Qiao Shiji patted the furry tiger head of the tiger next to him and said with a smile: "When the time comes, Brother Gongyang and I will ask him to teach you two moves. Wouldn't it be better than searching for the illusory ancient sword for many years?
Is it easy to repair ruins?"
"Sword Master Kong Zhou? Hasn't he always looked down upon our Void Dao? He suddenly wants to cooperate with us. Is there any conspiracy in it?"
Zhang Weiyang glanced at Peng Yu in the audience and was so shocked that he took two steps back. He replied calmly without hiding his voice.
Hearing the conversation in the distance, Peng Yu was suddenly shocked, "Those who know the earth are wise, and those who know the sky are saints." During the Xia and Shang dynasties, only the peerless masters who had truly entered the realm of Tianyan were qualified to be called "saints"
.
Even though in the past thousand years, spiritual practice has declined compared with previous generations, except for a few people such as King Wen, King Wu, and Duke Zhou, there are no masters of Tianyan level, so the standard of "saint" is no longer the same as before.
So strict.
But since Kong Zhou can be called the "Sword Master", he is at least a peak expert who has transcended the realm of six qi and explored the way of Tianyan. He is definitely one of the greatest masters in the world. Why has he never heard of his deeds? "Where did the conspiracy come from?" Qiao Shiji replied with a smile: "You are also a swordsman. Have you ever heard of the Kunwu sword that King Mu collected back then?"
"Kunwu Sword!" Zhang Weiyang was horrified and said in amazement: "Even if King Mu really left it in the treasure city, who of the young people who have the opportunity to enter the city this time can get its approval and take it with them?
Out of the city?"
"Kong Zhou told the Taiyin Master that he was not willing to rely on the talents of his juniors regarding the Kunwu Sword. Those who practice swords can only have their own opportunities
Take it, don’t take it from others."
Qiao Shiji frowned and said, "According to him, as long as he confirms the location of King Mu's treasure city and lets those "geniuses" delay the duration of this world, he is sure to use the supreme magic weapon in his hand to break through the treasure city.
protection, destroying its ability to hide and escape."
"So confident?" The black and white changes in Zhang Weiyang's eyes suddenly stopped, and he asked with some surprise: "Can it be said that King Mu's treasure city, which has existed for nearly two thousand years, can really be successfully destroyed this time?" p>
"Who knows, I hope it is true." Qiao Shiji sighed: "Two thousand years have passed, and the six lines of the eight ministers of the Xu family have completely declined. Today, the only ones who can still persist in the aspirations of our ancestors are you and me.
Home."
Zhang Weiyang nodded and said: "Relying on the power of the entire Void Dao, coupled with the cooperation of our friends, King Yan's unfinished achievements will surely be realized within two hundred years."
"That's right." Qiao Shiji turned around and looked at the green mountains in the distance, and said slowly: "The two star masters of Taiyin and Sun have said that Ji Zhou has been the emperor for nearly three thousand years. Those who were incarnated in the small world back then
The lifespan of the strong man is about to end, and the Nine Cauldrons that have been passed down alone are no longer able to suppress the country."
"In my recent hexagrams of Lianshanyi, Ji Zhou's majestic kingly energy accumulated for thousands of years will soon be scattered throughout the Kyushu and return to the great princes. A new era will eventually come."
