Chapter 176: Zhenhu Tower
Early the next morning, Bingshen Sect and a large group of people suppressed their anger and came to the Gudaomen station, drank a cup of tea under Jiang Qin's warm welcome, and then put down the tribute and went back. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Jiang Qin looked at the things in front of him, obviously feeling the dissatisfaction of the forces in the city. This time the tribute cannot be compared with the last one, neither in quantity nor quality, and it seems that this method cannot be used anymore, otherwise there may be a mutiny.
However, these things were not enough for him to use for a long time, because Jiang Qin found that although he could directly absorb the spiritual energy in the spirit grass and use it for cultivation, the conversion rate was really low. According to his estimates, he absorbed the aura of a pillar of spirit grass, and in the end, only one percent was converted into his own mana, and the rest ninety percent collapsed.
In this case, if he wants to maintain the rapid growth of his cultivation, the amount of spirit grass consumed is a terrifying amount, and he is also destined to run for the spirit stone in the future.
Jiang Qin thought in his heart, then waved his sleeve robe, put all these things into the storage bag, and then took out a jade slip.
There are many words on this jade slip, such as assassination of the leader of the Wild Mane Gang, assassination of the steward of the Ancient Dao Sect and guards, and so on. This jade slip was given to Jiang Qin by the Jindan period monk of the Shadow Society, and a new mission message will be sent every half a month, allowing them to freely choose tasks to do.
The latest task is to escort Miss Bu Jia to the lake at the junction of Donghou Prefecture and Jingwen Kingdom, and the reward for the task is a bottle of Pei Fadan and 50,000 spirit stones.
Jiang Qin stared at this task for a while, and then his consciousness moved, and he lightly touched the line. The line turned pale gold, and another line of specific information about the task appeared, indicating that he had taken the task. He can't take on a new task until it's completed or canceled.
"Xunyang City, Bu family." Jiang Qin muttered in a low voice, and then left the station.
Xunyang City, as the largest town in Anbian Prefecture except for Anbian City, is naturally prosperous and abnormal, and this city is also a lot calmer than the chaos of Anbian City. The biggest force in the city is the Xunyun Gang, which made its fortune by escorting darts and has been on a par with the Bingshen Sect in recent years.
In addition to the Xunyun Gang, the most famous forces in the city are the two major families, the divination family, which is good at divination, and the Song family, which is good at formations. Although these two families are in the same city, they rarely fight, and they did not suppress the Xunyun Gang, but let them develop.
Therefore, Xunyun City is much stronger than Anbian City in terms of reputation, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the safest town in Anbian Prefecture.
Jiang Qin walked on the streets of Xunyun City, listening to the laughter and laughter from time to time, and had a new understanding of the stability of Xunyun City.
Because this city is very stable, and the Xunyun Gang is also very well-behaved, the Ancient Daomen did not set up a station here, and if something happened, Jiang Qin would naturally have to deal with it.
Jiang Qin came to the courtyard of the Bu family's house and explained his intentions, and after Miss Bu responded, he was led into a side hall.
Not long after, another person was also introduced to this hall by the Bu family, and this person Jiang Qin still knew.
"Brother Jade-faced, I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect to meet you here." The person who came said.
"I didn't expect to take on the same task with the camel brother." Jiang Qin said. It turned out that this person was the hunchbacked old man who killed Wang Changfeng with Jiang Qin not long ago.
"That's really fate! Ha ha! The hunchbacked old man said boldly.
"It's hard to say if it's fate, but I should first congratulate my brother on his promotion to the later stage of foundation building." Jiang Qin said with his fists clenched.
"Haha! It's a fluke, it's just a fluke. The old man laughed.
Jiang Qin sighed to himself while dealing with the old man, not long ago, the two people who were similar in cultivation had a huge gap at this moment. If the old man can go one step further and form a golden pill, then he should take the gift of the junior. Although this kind of thing is normal in the cultivation realm, if it really encounters it, there is still a sense of loss.
Half an hour later, a woman on the eleventh floor of the Qi Refining Stage with a face like a full moon and a height of four feet walked in alone.
"The two seniors are invited, and the little woman Bu Xinyue is the initiator of this mission." The woman saluted.
Although this woman's words were a little impolite, Jiang Qin and the others didn't care, and after arching their hands casually, they waited for the woman to explain the specific situation of this mission.
"The main reason for inviting the two seniors this time is to escort the little woman to the border lake, and the reward for the task has been made clear, if the two seniors have no problems, let's leave immediately." Bu Xinyue said.
"Fairy Bu wait a minute, if it's just a simple escort mission, you can ask the people of the Xunyun Gang, I believe that with the relationship between the two of you, it should be very simple, so why spend so much money to ask the Shadow Society to take action?" The hunchbacked old man said suspiciously.
Although Jiang Qin didn't speak, there was also suspicion in his eyes.
Hearing this, Bu Xinyue hesitated for a while, and after laying down a soundproof barrier, he said: "Tell the two seniors the truth, the little girl went to the boundary lake this time to find the Zhenhu Tower and divination in the tower. Do my seniors think the Xunyun Gang will help me find it? ”
"Zhenhu Tower? Where is the town lake tower? Do you still want to go to divination? It's crazy! The hunchbacked old man was startled when he heard Bu Xinyue's words, and his head shook like a rattle.
"Don't get me wrong, seniors, according to the records of my Bu family, there is indeed a Zhenhu Tower in the boundary lake, but the age of existence is no longer exquisite, and the suppressed things in it have either escaped or have been suppressed a long time ago, so there will be no risk." Bu Xinyue explained.
"What is Zhenhu Tower? Why did the camel brother react so much? Jiang Qin asked.
"Let the little woman explain this. The so-called Zhenhu Tower is said to be a tower built by ancient repairs to suppress big demons or other monsters that are difficult to kill, because this tower is mostly built by the lake, so it is named. But there is also a legend that this tower was built by the ancestors to suppress the power of heaven and earth. Therefore, a monk like my divination family who walks in divination needs to use these places to do divination in some special circumstances. Bu Xinyue said.
Jiang Qin couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this explanation, the previous explanation was quite reliable. The one in the back even the ancestors came out, which is like a fantasy.
"Brother, don't think these are unreliable, as long as it is related to Gu Xiu, I would rather think of it as the most complicated, otherwise I don't know how to die." Maybe it was because he saw the thoughts in Jiang Qin's heart, the hunchbacked old man said.
"Taught." Jiang Qin said with his fists clenched.
"Do you have any questions with the two seniors? If not, let's go. Bu Xinyue seemed to be in a hurry, constantly urging Jiang Qin and the others to leave.
Jiang Qin and the two glanced at each other and nodded.
So the three of them left the Bu Mansion and rushed to Donghou Prefecture.
……
"Two seniors, I can't keep up, let's rest." Bu Xinyue gasped and said.
"We've taken a break many times since we came out of Anbian, so if you're not good at using the sword, get on my flying sword. If you have something to hide, tell it quickly so that you don't be embarrassed later! The hunchbacked old man said with an unkind face.
It's no wonder that he, since the three of them left Anbian Prefecture, Bu Xinyue asked for rest for various reasons, and the eagerness when following Bu Mansion was completely like two people. And this woman's eyes kept turning on Jiang Qin and the others from time to time, as if she was observing something.
"I, I... I'm just scared of the results. Bu Xinyue lowered her head and said.
"What is there to be afraid of, killing people is not too much. Now that we have embarked on the path of cultivating the truth, we should eliminate this kind of emotion. The hunchbacked old man said.
"Fear is also faced. In that case, it may be better to face it earlier. Jiang Qin said.
"Yes. Let's go. I don't know if Bu Xinyue really figured it out, or if she was afraid of Jiang Qin and the others, she looked at her toes and said.
"Humph!" The hunchbacked old man snorted coldly.
After Bu Xinyue heard the old man's cold snort, her body shivered, and then she raised her head and looked at the old man's back in horror, as if she had seen something terrifying.
Jiang Qin glanced at the hunchbacked old man a little strangely, then at Bu Xinyue, and then urged the flying sword to follow the hunchbacked old man.
Four days later, the group of three finally arrived in front of the long and narrow lake.
After coming to the lake, Bu Xinyue took out a golden compass and held it in his hand, and then pinched it with one hand, chanting words in his mouth.
As the Bu Crescent Moon spell continued, a little red light lit up on the compass, then the red light disappeared, and a hint of pale blue appeared, and then a large area of green light covered the entire surface of the compass.
At this moment, Bu Xinyue spit out a mouthful of blood with a "poof", and his expression instantly withered a lot. The light on the compass also disappeared and returned to its original appearance.
Bu Xinyue put away the compass, took a pill, and then took out some strange things with a smile and began to fiddle with them.
After a while, she put away all her things, and then said to Jiang Qin and the others, "Two seniors, please come with me, I have found the entrance to Zhenhu Tower." ”
Jiang Qin and the others didn't speak, and followed.
However, as Bu Xinyue got closer and closer to the center of the lake, the hunchbacked old man's face became more and more ugly.
Fortunately, Bu Xinyue stopped before the hunchbacked old man broke out, and then felt out a tortoiseshell-like thing and threw it into the lake.
After a moment, Bu Xinyue shook her head and threw down a piece of tortoise shell again in another place.
After changing more than ten places in a row, Bu Xinyue smiled and said, "Zhenhu Tower is directly below here, let's go down." After speaking, Bu Xinyue put away the flying sword and jumped into the lake.
Jiang Qin and the hunchbacked old man glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of hesitation in each other's eyes. Jiang Qin is because there is really no way to avoid water, and the hunchbacked old man's concerns are unknown.
