It's really magical, when Chengli washed his hands and feet by the river, he looked in the mirror on the river surface by the way, although he had seen it several times by the river when he came over, but every time he looked at his empty eyebrows, he felt the comfort of filling his brain, and Chengli would feel very wonderful. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

However, how do you feel that you look evil...... Chengli narrowed his eyes, only to find that the evil qi was even heavier.

It can't be a delusion...... Could it be the cause of the Dead Soul Bug?

"Let's go. Jing looked in the direction for a while, and saw the shadow of the village, so she went there, but before leaving, Jing threw a green wood-colored flame at the raft that was near the shore, and "snorted" a few times, but in five or six seconds, the whole raft disappeared cleanly, and there was not even a trace of ashes left.

After watching the raft disappear like foam, Cheng Li followed.

There is no ash, no smoke, and it is really environmentally friendly, and it seems that there are so many things to learn...... However, after resting in that village, let's separate from Jing and start training alone according to the original plan......

It's just that the thought of separating from Jing made a sense of confusion rise in Chengli's heart, can he do it? This is a super dangerous world, full of monsters...... So you have to be separated from Jing, follow her, and what you encounter is always an existence that you can't deal with.

In short, the matter has been decided!

But, after all, the two sides have already had a relationship...... Chengli shook his head, don't think about it, without this burden, Jing will only be easier, and it is not goodbye, when he has enough strength, he will still come to it......

The dirt under his feet was still wet, and it seemed that he had absorbed enough water on the rainy night last night, Chengli frowned, and sure enough, after a while, the soles of his feet were covered with mud again.

Jing's words, Seori looked at Jing's feet, and noticed that although the clog's teeth sank into the wet soil with each step, they never splashed a little mud.

It seems that it is the effect of mana again......

Chengli couldn't suppress the envy in his heart, and simply observed the surrounding environment, behind which was an endless forest, at least Chengli didn't see the end, the river passed out from the right side of the woods, straight to the front, and merged into a pond in a low-lying place in front.

It was a pond, but it was actually much bigger than a pond, but it wasn't as wide as a lake, and of course, the villagers would still call it a lake, Cheng Li thought.

The pond was surrounded by crop fields, and you could vaguely see human figures walking there, seeing them spread out into small patches of paddy fields, and Cheng Li guessed that rice was planted.

However, Cheng Li felt the sensation coming from the soles of his feet, and a realization rose in his heart that the soil here was not very good, and he noticed that although the soil was wet, it was not delicate, and there were a lot of coarse particles.

In the era when there were no chemical fertilizers, whether the soil was fertile or not was a big problem that bothered farmers.

But what does it have to do with me, Chengli quickly put the emotion in his heart behind and began to think about his future.

According to the plan, the first thing is to let Jing take away the spiritual power in his body, no matter what it is, don't you talk about a foundation, if you want to get spiritual power, you still have to go through the spiritual enlightenment ceremony, otherwise you can't rest assured.

Especially Jing has become weird, speaking of which, she seems to have always been weird, fickle can ...... Well, then again, fickleness seems to be in the nature of women, and it shouldn't be too careful...... But this is especially true of quietness.

In short, it is urgent to get your own spiritual power, and spiritual power is especially important to me, Cheng Li looked at his round nails, but he still remembers, before getting spiritual power, his nails have been sharpened.

Fortunately, the residual airflow after the failure of the previous initiation ceremony was gone, and it was supposed to take a year......

Then it's a matter of finding a place to perform the initiation ritual, and then -- wait, there's something wrong with that.

Cheng Li came to his senses, who was he going to find to perform the enlightenment ceremony for himself? First, he did not have outstanding qualifications, and secondly, he was already old, not to mention that he had no status, and even if he did, he would have long been regarded as a first-class waste.

Moreover, Jing also said before that for people who were not cultivated by themselves since childhood, various forces will do something in their initiation ceremonies, so that they can directly skip the apprentice junior level, and directly become an intermediate apprentice, and also call it a "genius".

The only difference between intermediate apprentices and junior apprentices is that junior apprentices can't sense the existence of the spiritual source, and originally they can only draw out the spiritual source if they continue to use spiritual power, but some special means can directly force the spiritual source out.

The spiritual source generated by this method is extremely unstable, at least Jing has never heard of anyone who can become a mage, but this method has an advantage, that is, the apprentice grows very quickly.

Generally speaking, it takes more than ten years to get from an intermediate apprentice to a senior apprentice, and it takes more than ten years to reach the top of the advanced apprenticeship, that is, a ninth-level apprentice, and how old is it at that time? At least thirty years old.

And through special means to pull out the seedlings to help the apprentice, starting from his successful enlightenment, it only takes five years to become a senior apprentice, and then it only takes three years to reach the top apprentice.

At that time, he was only about 20 years old, and the period from the age of 35 to the age of 35 was the golden age of a person's development.

Moreover, there is still a sense of talent in the orthodox spiritual initiation ceremony, although some of them are successful, the amount of spiritual power generated is pitiful, and there is no value for cultivation at all, and the apprentices who have been enlightened by special means will have their spiritual power brewing for at least ten days or more.

Compared with the two, the gap is too big......

However, Cheng Li's thoughts turned again, and he remembered one thing, this kind of secret method that could speed up his cultivation was not something that ordinary wild mages could have, and the special spiritual objects consumed were not something that wild mages could afford.

After all, it was a secret method for various mage forces to create cheap cannon fodder during wartime......

As soon as the two of them approached the entrance of the village, they saw two people coming up, both men, in their thirties, with their backs bent.

"Excuse me, are the two of you a mage?" The person at the head of the head looked a little experienced, and spoke in a very organized manner, not like an ordinary peasant.

"Hmm. Silence answered.

Hearing Jing's affirmation, the two of them quickly knelt down, kowtowed respectfully, hung their heads into the soil regardless of the mud, and then lifted them up a little, and said cautiously: "The village chief has learned the news and is preparing to come, please wait for a while." ”

"Hmm. He nodded noncommittally and surveyed the village in front of him.

At a glance, there are almost forty or fifty houses scattered around, although scattered, but not messy, there are large enough gaps between each other to effectively prevent fires, and there is a temple deep at the end, although it is not big, Jing can feel that there is a spiritual power fluctuation in it.

This feeling, well, is just a spiritual artifact, but according to common sense, this is already a big village, and there should be a mage apprentice.

Moreover, this place is close to the forest, and there should be a special apprentice to collect materials......

Chengli's eyesight was good, so he could clearly see the eyes peeping behind the curtain, there were adults, but more often children.

Curious, but more fearful, somehow, looking at those eyes, Chengli suddenly felt that he was suddenly depressed, and his heart was very irritable.

Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long, and the village chief trotted over with five or six people all the way, and respectfully welcomed Jing and Chengli into the village.

Bamboo mats are hung as portals, walls made of wooden planks, floors paved with straw and wooden planks, and stones with large bowls are used as roofs...... The same structure, Cheng Li looked at the houses that were almost exactly the same as those in his memory, and couldn't help but pout.

The village chief's house did not depart from the structure of the other people, but it was a little larger, but it was a little larger.

After learning that Chengli and the others had no intention of staying overnight, the village chief immediately sent someone to start preparing the food, and then sat there with his head down, kneeling, and told everything that Jing inquired about and knew about himself.

“……”

“…… In other words, about half a month ago, the mage who was originally stationed in your village received a message from a person, and then left the village with the magic weapon?"

"Yes. ”

“…… So, do you know where there is a mage gathering nearby?" After inquiring about the situation around the village, Jing finally asked what she wanted to know most.

"Mage Gathering Place?" the village chief recalled carefully, and said with some uncertainty: "It should be four villages to the north, and then go west to get there." ”

"Oh. Jing nodded, "I know, then you guys should step back first." ”

"Yes, Master Mage. After kowtowing respectfully, the village chief withdrew with the other three villager-like figures.

Looking at Jing's lofty appearance, Cheng Li had a feeling that he couldn't tell what it was like, and this feeling made Cheng Li understand how far he was from Jing......

In the final analysis, it's still because of strength.

"So, Jing?"

"Huh?" quietly replied.

"That, I want to ......"

“……”

"I think ......"

"What's wrong?"

"I want to walk alone. After hesitating for a long time, Chengli finally expressed the meaning in his heart.

“……”

Noticing Jing's silence, Chengli's heart also sank, and he knew that it was not good for him to propose to leave, in all senses.

"Leave?" Jing finally spoke, and from her faint voice, Chengli didn't hear anything unusual, but this in itself was the biggest anomaly, so Chengli chose to be silent.

“…… It's okay," Jing didn't seem to need to answer, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "But in that case, there are some things to prepare." ”

"What's the matter?" Cheng Li hurriedly asked.

"After all, the spiritual power in your body belongs to me, and if you are far away from me, then it will slowly disappear, so you have to complete the spiritual initiation ceremony for you first. ”

"Is that so? Cheng Li noticed that his voice was a little trembling, and his heart suddenly tightened, and he quickly stopped talking, trying to suppress the excitement boiling in his heart.

"It just so happens that there is an altar for the Enlightenment Ceremony in the mage gathering place, so you can go there with me first. ”

"Okay. ”

After getting Jing's consent, Chengli didn't know what he felt in his heart, there was excitement, there was joy, but this emptiness, this feeling of loss...... Actually, I'm still uncomfortable in my heart, but I didn't expect it, it seems that there are still feelings, at least I still have feelings for Jing......

Reluctantly swallowed the untasteful and shoddy food, and Chengli silently followed Jing on the road.

When it was almost night, Chengli and the two had already walked through two villages and slept in the wilderness for a night, but fortunately there was no rain, which was really lucky.

The road was safe, there was nothing unusual, and according to the caution that they had heard in the village all the way, the next day, near noon, Chengli and Jing finally arrived at the mage gathering place here.

Is that the City of Su?

Cheng Li looked at the walled city surrounded by straight tree trunks from a distance, and was involuntarily surprised in his heart, looking at the height of the tree trunk, at least ten meters high.

In the previous life, a city made of reinforced concrete, a building of this scale could only be regarded as a piece of cake, but in this era, it is remarkable.

In other words, tomorrow at the latest, if it is early, it will be today, and it will be separated from Jing...... As soon as he thought of this, Chengli's heart involuntarily rose with a sense of panic, his heart was empty, and there was nothing, like a traveler who was lost in the wilderness at night without a trace of light.

Scared?

Of course.

However, I don't regret it.

No regrets, that's enough.
