Chapter 21: A Touch of Familiarity
......
As if in response to his words, the dark light flickered and approached.
The hairs exploded, and a touch of "heaviness" emerged in my heart, which could not be stopped.
Wei Jiu felt an unprecedented threat!
The huge energy shield transformed by the two layers of "Dark Devouring" had already enveloped his entire body, especially behind him, gathering nearly ninety percent of his abilities. But it still didn't reduce the sense of crisis that hit his mind! Gritting his teeth, he once again desperately squeezed the golden pill, and used the remaining dark ability of his body to barely maintain a new light curtain on the surface of his body.
"Ten meters to go!"
The inky light flickered again, appearing above the first layer of "Dark Eat", as soon as it came into contact, it seemed to melt it, and it entered it in an instant, but the black light mask remained in place, as if it had not changed at all.
If you look from above, the light mask actually recesses a large hole inward, and there is a dark green ball inside that emits a special fluctuation of violent collision of abilities.
The second layer of defense also shattered in the blink of an eye! The deep light group shrank in a circle at this time, but the color was still the same as before, as if the huge energy within it had been consumed a lot by this obstacle. The speed did not decrease, and it came into contact with Wei Jiu's body.
"Shhhhh
The shirt on his back exploded, and two fist-sized balls of light slammed into his bare, lean but not strong back muscles. The skin was like a dried rag, bursting into thin marks, dense blood seeping out of it, and then turning into a reddish-brown scab in an instant with a crackling sound.
"Boom-" As soon as it came into contact with the hard entity, the chaotic ability no longer dissipated, and exploded in an instant, and the massive impact mixed with electric light tossed the objects that stood in its way flying.
With a slight arc, I crossed the distance of seven or eight meters, and I don't know how many times I fell to the ground.
His chest was hurt by small pebbles, and his back was already unconscious, Wei Jiu maintained a posture of smashing down on the ground, and struggled to open his eyes - he really wanted to fall asleep on his stomach like this, not wanting to move a finger, but at this time he had to force himself to cheer up.
Don't give up until the last minute!
His gaze was close to the ground, and through the floating dust, he looked in the direction he had come, and was greeted by a slightly blurred picture.
The three figures gradually became clear.
They were rushing towards them, and they were twenty meters away!
It was only now that Wei Jiu could see clearly who was attacking him—three bronze beasts that were only half a meter tall, resembling spiders, and flashing scarlet eyes, were hurrying towards them with their curved legs derived from both sides!
From above, the newly emerged monsters actually had four legs, and they resembled three fast-moving "×".
There were originally four sneak attackers, and the last one should be one of the rat-headed puppets that exploded.
"Xiao Qi ......" he was very remorseful, regret that he shouldn't have been involved with the rat Xiaoqi, many years of companionship, years of "side by side" fighting made him not realize the danger of this trip early at the moment he entered the canyon, and realized that this time the battle may not be with a low-level demon beast.
The only thing he can do is to "habitually" turn slightly sideways as he falls, allowing the left side to bear the least amount of force......
Without waiting to communicate with Rat Xiaoqi and converging all his spiritual consciousness, Wei Jiu turned over with difficulty, accumulating the last strength and preparing to fight to the death, although it may be that he died in vain......
A hint of coolness suddenly came from the tip of his left finger, and he tilted his head - the light curtain!
It turned out to be a light curtain, a huge light curtain that existed at both ends of the canyon!
His left shoulder was now immersed in this watery barrier, and his left hand was also touched by the sparkling "water waves" because he turned over. It turned out that he was directly "sent" by that blow to a distance of nearly ten meters, and almost hit the light curtain.
With a smile in his heart, he glanced at the culprit who had almost buried him here, the three-headed "spider" puppet that rushed to the front, and the bronze fragments scattered in the distance, and turned around violently with the last strength......
"Hiss~", uncontrollably rolled twice in a row, Wei Jiu lay on all fours with the word "big" in the sky, and did not move. This time he exerted too much force, and the "burned" flesh on his back seemed to be cracked, and before he could let go of the luck of escaping, a piercing pain had already caught him off guard......
"Are you okay?" asked Shen Tujue as he looked at Wei Jiu, who was lying on the ground gasping and recovering.
He was quite dumb about such a stunning way of appearing in the world. Although curious about what happened on the other side of the barrier at the end, he didn't say a word.
"No, it's okay, huh-" Slowly gaining some mobility, Wei Jiu sat up with difficulty, and spit out on his knees. He didn't want to fill up his near-depleted abilities, but rather to refine a small amount of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi for the body to recover.
"Take it, this Guiyuan Pill can regulate the injuries of the five internal organs and calm the discomfort of the internal organs. Seeing that Wei Jiu's external injuries were not serious, but his muscles were swollen and weak, coupled with his pale complexion, purple and blackened lips, and increasingly shriveled lips, as well as his breathing that could not be penetrated, he naturally judged that there was an injury inside.
Not polite, he took the pill the same color as the young sprouts and leaves, raised his head and swallowed it, and bowed his hand to Shentu who was standing on the side: "Thank you, Senior Brother Shentu." Please also trouble Senior Brother to wait for a while, he may not have the strength to act yet. ”
Wei Jiu was completely relaxed, closing his eyes and pranayama. It's not that he is defenseless against this cheap senior brother, but he believes that this famous Kamon Inner Courtyard, who would hurt a person who has nothing to do with it, and even gamble on his own martial arts path - the laws of the empire are not decorations.
......
However, they didn't know that at the moment when Wei Jiu turned around, the water curtain suddenly had layers of rippling invisible waves, and then the transparent "water flow" shot out, and the "spider" puppet that had broken through five meters behind Wei Jiu suddenly stagnated.
Only the scarlet eyes like jewels were still chasing the back that had flipped and disappeared, the red light was faintly extinguished, and the originally terrifying eyes turned into colorless gems the size of thumbs......
......
Two days later, in the early morning, the sun was shining, and countless golden and bright chrysanthemum colored lines dyed the spring of the inner courtyard with a few colors that can only be found in summer.
The Inner Courtyard of Kamon.
A young disciple wearing a light white martial artist's uniform, a hairpin, and a beautiful face hurriedly came to the living area of the Dan Realm martial artist in the inner courtyard.
"Forty-seven...... Forty-eight...... Forty-nine. Here we are!" she gasped and walked through the rows of detached stone buildings, finally stopping in front of an inconspicuous door in the corner of the last row.
A light green warrior suit, a handsome young man with short black hair was walking out of it, step by step into her sight.
"So young!" Fang Hua's real name was envious, this was a place where the martial artists of the Inner Courtyard lived and rested, even the weakest disciple might have the strength of the middle stage of the Dan Realm. So young, mid-Dan realm!
It's just that he didn't know that the "majestic and high-spirited" inner courtyard disciple in front of him had just "luckily" come in a few days ago, and it was also the goal of her trip. And there is no mid-Dan realm realm.
Wei Jiu, who had recovered about the same, walked out of the four-story building, planning to take a stroll around the academy and familiarize himself with the environment. As soon as he went out, he saw a figure facing him, and his bright eyes seemed to be around him.
Passed by, no intersection.
Seeing this "little senior brother" go all the way, she stopped the emotion in her heart, stood on tiptoe and tilted her head, and glanced at the "forty-nine" on the door with black stone powder glued to it.
"Senior Brother Wei Jiu...... Senior Brother Wei Jiu——"......
......
"Little boy, where to go first~?" Rat Xiaoqi lay on his neckline weakly, and even the "voice" coming out of his soul seemed extremely lazy.
He feels hungry all the time these days - and now, he has no interest in anything other than his room.
"Go-" Where to go first, I don't know the place well, except for this small building, the entire inner courtyard seems to have been to a crystal pavilion, and there is no map or anything. The person I knew was the one surnamed Shentu.
After two days of recuperation, I didn't see any other "roommates" living in a stone building. He suspected that these disciples were either practicing behind closed doors or soaking in the practice room to practice martial arts or something, or they took the task and left the academy, otherwise why was this inner courtyard so "deserted"?
......
Renting a snow-white Cangyun horse, Wei Jiu galloped all the way to the place he wanted to go the most.
Half a day later, when the sun was shining, a person, a mouse and a big white dog appeared on the most prosperous commercial street in the imperial capital.
An hour ago, Wei Jiu went to the small city where the outer courtyard was located, and he was going to meet the eldest lady Wei, but unfortunately, the female disciple who helped him pass the word told him that Wei Yun was not at the residence......
After tasting roast rabbit, roast duck, and roast pigeon along the way, the group was ready to leave and return to the practice day after day.
In a delicate and elegant shop, all kinds of delicate gadgets are placed on the counter or hung in the air with colorful silk threads, and several slender figures are interspersed and admired, and the whispers of warblers are dotted inside.
"Sister, how do you sell this bracelet?" the beautiful girl gently untied a crystal and emerald green bracelet, brought it to the shopkeeper, and asked Jiao Qiao.
"Yo~ This sister is so discerning! This bracelet is the proud work of Zhuo Yanran, a genius disciple of Carmon Academy. Absolutely limited edition!" The young proprietress who still has some charm still has a bit of charm and introduces the jewelry with a smile, but does not mention the price at all.
"Zhuo Yanran?"
"You don't know? It doesn't matter! you just need to know that she's a disciple of the Inner Courtyard of Kamon and a genius refiner. The young woman half-chaired the counter and slowly "explained".
"Shopkeeper, how do you say how to sell it?" A cold female voice came from Wei Yun's side.
"Senior sister. Wei Yun turned her head and called out to the woman who had walked up to her, wearing a black tight-fitting suit, dressed like an assassin.
"Giggles, this sister is very anxious~ Originally, this was for 2,200 gold coins, but ...... I think the two younger sisters are quite handsome, and they are a good match for this bracelet—"
As she spoke, the young woman stopped laughing, frowning, as if she had encountered something difficult to choose.
"If this sister really wants it, then my sister will reluctantly cut her love and charge you two thousand, a fixed price!"
Two thousand! What is the concept of two thousand gold coins? Wei Jiu had been a guard for a year with the strength of the late stage of Qi Hai, but he had only saved about two thousand gold coins! Such an "ordinary" bracelet, an ornament, was sold for such an expensive price, this was no different from grabbing money?
"Two thousand?" Wei Yun, a young lady from a small family who is used to spending money "lavishly", also took a breath of cool air. How can an "ordinary" ornament be sold more expensive than a spiritual weapon? This is the imperial capital?
The young woman in black had a displeased face, but there were two thin eyebrows that soothed the wrinkles, and she was a little puzzled.
The air seemed to condense a few breaths.
"Boss, wrap me up, I want it!"
