Against the wind, the flying boat soared into the sky, making Wu Quanzhong who was riding on it slightly dizzy.
As an elder of foreign affairs, it is not that Wu Quanzhong has never ridden on similar flying instruments. Even spiritual beast flying rides, such as the "Hunchbacked Void Ray" and the more advanced "Pseudo Eight-clawed Golden Winged Dragon", he has experienced more than
Once, I even sat close to the rider, listening to the heavy breathing of the spirit beast in flight, and feeling the turbulence in the air. The joy, the surprise, the touch, every time
Thinking back on it, it felt like I had just drank a good drink of wine. Every pore and every acupuncture point was filled with a different kind of comfort.
The reason why he was dizzy was that he had never thought that his sect would once again have a flying magic weapon. The last time was when the ninth-generation leader Ren Wodao went to the sea of rocks and asked him and Zheng Luda to urgently borrow a spiritual weapon.
Stone, a second-hand flying sword that was found in the market of Luoyingmen. Now that time has passed, Ren Wodao has passed away long ago. He has not thought about asking for the spiritual stone that Ren Wodao owed from his successor Jiang Feng, but
Thinking about it, this flying boat shining with blue and purple light seems to be a new beginning.
The flying boat landed in Yuanyi Town of Qianshan Sect. This is the largest market town of the Qianshan Sect next to the Jincheng Sect in the east. It has a population of more than 600. It is considered one of the towns with good natural conditions and prosperous business. If it were not for the Jincheng Sect's Qianshan Sect,
In terms of influence, perhaps the first batch of towns to be converted into counties was not Donghu Town, which is located in the west, but Yuanyi Town.
Wu Tianzhe, a child of the Wu family, finally chose to go to Donghu County for training, while another child, Wu Tian, chose Dayi County with more difficult conditions. Jiang Feng believed that after leaving the warm family hotbed, after three years of hard training,
, they will definitely have a new look, and a new understanding of the journey of a monk. When they have the opportunity to awaken to the Dharma again, they will definitely cherish what they have in front of them more, and they will be more grateful to their family and loyal to their sect.
The two took a carriage specially designed for foreign affairs and left Yuanyi Town, which was the official road of the Jincheng Sect. Compared with the official road of Chixiamen, the flow of people here was much sparser, but the roads on both sides were clean and orderly, and quite popular.
Of course, there is still a certain distance between the demeanor of the big sects and the behemoths like Li Zong and Yufeng Sect. This is not only due to vision and structure, but also because of money. Compared with the Qianshan Sect, the Seven Leagues Sect
For each faction, the economy is much more depressed, and the road construction specifications are too high, which only increases waste.
Tianyou City is the largest city of the Jincheng Sect and the seat of the sect. On the afternoon of the next day, the carriage of the two people arrived at the Foreign Affairs Posthouse. Wu Quanzhong followed the standard etiquette of foreign affairs and reported it to everyone, waiting for the summons of Su Liqing, the leader of the Jincheng Sect.
The management structure of the Jincheng sect is somewhat similar to that of the Qianshan sect. In fact, the Qianshan sect has always learned from the Jincheng sect. The Qianshan sect has six departments, while the Jincheng sect has a total of eight departments because the general affairs are divided more carefully. However, the management of external affairs is
It is the responsibility of the Ceremony Secretary and the Foreign Affairs Elder.
The foreign affairs elder of the Jincheng faction, whose surname is Zheng and whose name is Defang, is a Xuan-level monk about fifty years old. He is not much different from Wu Quanzhong. The two are familiar with each other, and Zheng Yuming, the deacon of the Department of Ceremonies, is his nephew.
The two people who received the reception were very enthusiastic. They kept delivering spiritual tea and spiritual fruits. They also took turns accompanying and chatting with each other. However, the summons from the headmaster Su Liqing did not come for a long time.
"Old Zheng, tell me, what's going on?" After two hours, there was no news from the leader's inner palace. Wu Quanzhong asked in a low voice. With him here, there was no need for the leader Jiang Feng to ask.
"Hey, brother, don't talk about it, don't talk about it."
Zheng Defang looked a little embarrassed, but his long-term foreign affairs activities have made him a veteran, "Don't worry, maybe there are other things that have delayed it. Head Su takes your visit very seriously. We will go to the banquet later.
, I have already arranged it."
After enjoying the food, singing and dancing, but not drinking, Jiang Feng knew that he would still arrange a meeting tonight, and gave Wu Quanzhong a signal with his eyes, so that he no longer had to beat around the bush to pursue him.
Asked, waiting peacefully for Su Liqing's summons.
At three quarters of Hai hour, the night was already deep.
Zheng Defang, who looked slightly tired, was sending Jiang Feng and the two to the guest room, when a young boy in Tsing Yi suddenly hurried over and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Master Jiang, I've been waiting for a long time, please come over here." Zheng Defang bowed and apologized again, and at the same time stopped Wu Quanzhong, "Old Wu, let's have a few more cups, we forgot to serve the wine just now."
Would you forget such an important thing?
You still have something inside that you don’t want to tell me?
A wry smile appeared at the corner of Wu Quanzhong's mouth. It seemed that Su Liqing, the leader of the Jincheng Sect, had no part in receiving him. However, his face was calm. As an elder of foreign affairs, he had been working hard in various sects around him for many years. He had experienced this kind of thing a lot.
Already.
"That's right, it won't work if you don't drink well. You must not get drunk today. Young man, let me show you what it means to be ginger or to be spicy when you are old. Let's take a walk."
With a big wave of his hand, he skillfully pulled Zheng Yuming, the deacon of the Department of Ceremonies, and smoothed things over with a smile.
…………
Luoyingmen, eighty miles northwest of Taoyuan City, Dudian Mountain.
This is a bald mountain. In the memory of any old person, this is a bald mountain. No vegetation has ever grown on it. Even the spiritual valleys planted within five miles around it have not grown well.
So it was rumored that every piece of soil in this mountain was poisonous, and the mountain looked like a palace from a distance, suddenly standing out from the plains. Therefore, the people around it called it "Poison Palace Mountain" and moved far away.
Live nearby.
In a low mouth on the top of the mountain, a cloud of black mist rolled like boiling water. Brown droplets continued to fall from it, and splashed from the ground like boiling oil, stirring up a suffocating stench.
Thick smoke.
"Old Devil, I told you not to go to Luoying Gate and offend that madman Tushan for a golden elixir, so go instead!"
"You should call me Senior Wan, boy!"
"Hey, hey," the young man's face was hidden in the loose robe, "Old Wan, you were injured this time, it will probably take a few months to recover, right?" He changed the title, but it also didn't mean any respect.
"You rude fellow! If you had called me Lao Wan back then, I would have made you hang yourself upside down on a beam and spit out the demon pill."
"Fortunately, I don't have the demon elixir yet, but there is a splash of demon urine."
The young man stood up and stood on the edge of the cliff, sighing for a while in the slightly cold evening wind. Then he strolled to a sheltered corner and held up a white arm. The owner of that arm was looking at the setting sun.
Her hair fluttered in the wind and was thrown on the man's face, exuding an aura that was intoxicating to him.
Opposite the man, a thin figure covered in black robes was sitting there blankly. His sitting posture was very inelegant and unstable. He seemed to be very weak and would fall apart every moment. If he and
When he looked at each other, he could only glimpse two green and cold lights in the robe on his head.
"Old Devil, when you succeed in the future, you won't make me into this kind of bone spirit, right?"
"Jie Jie Jie, if you have such a request, I won't be polite. Your luck is so good that it makes me a little jealous. If you become a bone spirit, you can always help me." A voice came from the black shadow.
A weird laugh that made people's hair crawl, "Bei Haishi is my believer, and he did it voluntarily. This way he can gain eternal life, isn't that good?"
"Let's forget it, I can't bear it."
The young man took out a blood-red elixir and threw it into the black shadow. The boiling aura of the black shadow softened a little, and then boiled again, as if what he had just put in was not the elixir, but the burning oil.
"It's useless. Tu Shan's poisonous skill is very partial and cannot be resolved by ordinary blood elixirs. Don't worry about me. I really can't handle it. It will waste a demon elixir at worst. I have a special physique, so I use a golden elixir."
On the contrary, the effect is poor.”
"We only have four, so you have to think carefully."
The young man held his head in his hands. He was not as worried about the demon shadow as before. Instead, he lay on the cold rock and was silent for a while. "And they are smart now and no longer appear alone. Even if they appear, it is a trap."
…………
"On the seventh day of May, at noon!"
Su Liqing looked exhausted, as if he was suffering from a serious illness, but he had no intention of apologizing. Instead, he immediately informed Jiang Feng of the exact time when the Stormrage Canyon Ruins broke out.
"According to the method of breaking the formation that you provided me before, a total of nine earth-level monks and thirty-six Xuan-level monks were summoned to work together to break the formation."
He took out three walnut-colored, palm-sized square tokens, with the word "Yuan" engraved on them and a not-so-complicated array pattern. On the back was the "Seven Star Sword" symbol that symbolized the Seven Alliances. "This
These are the certificates of three Xuan-level monks. When the time comes, you can use this object to participate in breaking the formation. The specific location has not yet been determined, but it will be easy to do it when the time comes."
"Remember, you only recognize the token, not the person." He added a crucial sentence.
"Why?"
"What the big shots think." Su Liqing pointed his finger, "I heard it was requested by the people of Qi."
"Qi people? They also want to participate in the canyon ruins?"
"Of course, Stormrage Canyon is not far from the Qi Kingdom. There is no reason not to get involved in the water. But they started late, so they disliked the small number of places, so they insisted on doing this. I have to remind you, it is said that some
The identity of the Xuan-level monk who has obtained the quota to enter the valley has been exposed, and now many desperate monks are trying to find ways to obtain the token. You must be careful not to be hunted by them to seize the treasure."
"That's natural, thank you for reminding me."
Jiang Feng felt a warning sign in his heart. No wonder Su Liqing didn't ask Wu Quanzhong, the foreign affairs elder, to come with him. The secret here is very clear. What Su Liqing means is that I will not reveal the fact that you got the token, and no third party will know.
If it's lost, it's all your own fault. Of course, being able to help Jiang Feng eliminate all dangers beforehand is also a big favor.
"I still have something to do and I have to leave." Su Liqing was in a hurry, as if she had something important to do.
"Senior, are you so anxious?" Jiang Feng thought to himself, I still need your help with matters related to the Changning Chamber of Commerce.
"Don't you know about the demon shadow?"
"I know, I've heard a few things." Jiang Feng thought to himself, of course I know. I was forced by Chu Anlan of the Li Sect to use the power of the Dharma to divine the shadow, and I also reached a friendship of "watching and helping each other" with the victim.
My understanding of the demon shadow will definitely surpass yours.
"Now in the Sakon Sect, all the monks in the first level of the earth level dare not show up alone. Therefore, as the head of the sect, I have to protect one or two."
"I see."
There are three prefecture-level monks in the Jincheng Sect. Jiang Feng knows this. However, the Jincheng Sect’s territory is much larger than the Qianshan Sect. The Seven Alliance War has just been settled. It is impossible for all the prefecture-level monks to gather in one place for safety. They must be divided into at least two or three.
Location, guarding the four directions, so as the leader of a sect and the person with the highest cultivation level, it is natural that Su Liqing should go to one or two locations to patrol and protect.
"Will Senior Su go to the ruins?" As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Feng felt that it was a little abrupt. The relationship between the two of them had not yet reached the level of being honest with each other.
Su Liqing looked a little hesitant. Seeing that Jiang Feng's expression did not change, he said slightly unhappily, "No, it will be inconvenient for me to go in. As for the candidates for the prefecture level, we must at least wait until the shadow crisis is over before we can make a decision."
"I have an idea, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." Jiang Feng thought of the matter entrusted to him by the Changning Chamber of Commerce, and suddenly he had a plan to get the best of both worlds.
