Chapter 20: The Little Scholar
When Zhang Yun heard Zhao Da's words, he was extremely puzzled, and summoned Feng Ling Pan and asked, "Feng Ling, do you know what forces are there on the continent today?" ā
"I really can't answer this, I have been cultivating in Fengqiwu for thousands of years, and the strength of the mainland has changed frequently during these thousands of years, and I really can't answer if I want to give a judgment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Feng Ling said helplessly, its soul power has been repaired by Feng Qiwu for thousands of years before it has become the solid appearance it is today, if you want to talk about cultivation, it is definitely a jack of all trades, but to say that things on the continent can only be played to the cow.
Zhang Yun remembered the fire lotus fruit he swallowed just now, and asked, "Do you know what the fire lotus fruit I swallowed just now is, and why there is no news after entering the spiritual platform?" ā
Feng Ling thought for a moment and replied: "There have been many strange spirit fruits in heaven and earth that have changed their names for thousands of years, but I look at their appearance and efficacy, if I am not wrong, it should be something like some kind of seed, as for the specifics, I don't know." ā
Zhang Yun was extremely helpless in his heart, Feng Ling, who was originally a jack-of-all-trades, now had questions that could not be answered. Do you want me to be curious all the time?
And as soon as this fruit entered his body, it disappeared without a trace, but Zhang Yun didn't think that this head was good for him. But now I can't force out the fruit in my body, and I can only take one step at a time, but this feeling of not being able to control myself is really uncomfortable!
Hey, no matter how much, didn't the head of the sect say that there is a hall for assigning tasks among the sects, hurry up and see what kind of existence it looks like, I should be able to take on a lot of tasks with my cultivation in the mortal stage now.
Inquire around, stumbled to the door of the main hall, looked up, and there were three big characters written on the door of the hall: Hall of Merit!
There is an endless stream of people coming and going in the Hall of Merit, and most of the characters in it are set up by the officers and soldiers of Yunshui City or the common people. After entering the hall, the walls on all four sides are divided into different levels, which are heaven, earth, and man, which correspond to the cultivation of the extraordinary period and the life period. Spiritual period. Since most of the tasks are simple, the rating is not high. However, there are still some major tasks that have been accumulated in the Hall of Merit for a long time, and ordinary disciples cannot take over, and some cultivators who are not able to do their own can go alone despite dissuasion, but end up in a miserable place where their bodies are in a different place.
There are many tasks in each section, and after being selected, it will be explained to the designated personnel in the main hall that each staff member carries with him to test the cultivation of the person who receives the task, and if he passes the level, he can take over the execution, and if he does not pass the level, the staff will discourage him from being strict and critical, but the final choice is still in the hands of the cultivator, just like his life and death.
Each character has a different limited date, and if you return with a target on the limited date, you will get a reward that does not correspond to the person, but if you don't return after the deadline, it will be considered a mission failure and reposted.
Zhang Yun was originally a cultivator in the extraordinary period, but he thought that he had no experience in doing the task for the first time, so he chose a simple and reliable one. Thinking of this, Zhang Yun gave up the choice of a heaven-level task and threw himself into the crowd of earth-level tasks instead.
Compared with the heaven-level tasks, there are obviously more people in the prefecture-level area, some are hesitant to accept the task, some are full of ambition to receive the task, and some fail the mission and return home. There are joys and sorrows, which is really a variety of things in the world.
Zhang Yun looked around, the tasks at the prefecture level were relatively mostly tasks hung out by ordinary people, they paid the Qingfeng faction for hanging out tasks, and the Qingfeng faction rewarded the cultivation resources in the sect to the disciples who completed the tasks, this virtuous circle made the Qingfeng faction full of talents, and the people of Yunshui City were happy. Heaven-level tasks are mostly hunting high-level spirit beasts and going deep in the mountains and dense forests to find rare herbs, and the prefecture-level area is obviously much simpler, among which the extermination of mountain bandits is the most popular.
Zhang Yun walked around, and one of the tasks that had been hanging in the prefecture-level area for a month was favored by him, and the task required was to eliminate the bandits on the periphery of Yunshui City. Zhang Yun thought for a moment, stepped forward to remove the task, and walked towards the staff in the main hall.
In a trance, Zhang Yun had the illusion of returning to the earth, and the bluestone table in front of him was so much like the bar of a bar, but it was only more expansive.
There are more than 100 staff members waiting patiently on the bluestone table, and each staff member has a bronze mirror of orders at hand, which is smooth as the moon and can be seen.
Before Zhang Yun walked to Qingshitai with the task letter, the staff saw that it was Zhang Yun and said with a smile: "Senior brother Zhang Yun, come to pick up the task."
Zhang Yun handed over the task letter and thought, it just so happens that I am not familiar with the rules here, and now that someone takes the initiative to talk, it is better to ask.
"Senior brother, junior brother has something to do, I see that there are so many senior brothers from the same faction here, and there are not a few people who want to complete the task, won't the treasure be exhausted?"
"Haha, it's the first time Senior Brother Zhang Yun has come to the Hall of Merit, the Qingfeng Sect belongs to the Tianxuan Sword Sect, and this system in the sect is also allowed by the Tianxuan Sword Sect, and they will export exercise materials to the sect every other year as apprentices," the man said with a smile, took the task letter of the Zhang Yun Empire, and after checking it, he said: "Senior brother, transport the spiritual power to the palm of your hand, press the palm of your hand on the bronze mirror, there is no need to hide your strength, this bronze mirror can clearly judge a person's cultivation level." ā
Hearing this, Zhang Yun put his palm on the bronze mirror, and the spiritual power separated into the bronze mirror. After a while, the bronze mirror was covered with a silvery white color. See this. The senior brother who had just spoken looked surprised.
"Zhang Yun, if my information is accurate, you didn't have any cultivation at all when you joined the faction, and now you have reached the stage of desecration in just half a year?!"
"Senior brother said with a smile, Zhang Yun's current cultivation is naturally indispensable to the cultivation of the sect's cultivation masters, as well as his own hard work." Zhang Yun thought to himself, how many times did he cultivate like this.
The senior brother calmed down when he heard this, and told Zhang Yun the details. The approximate meaning is: There are many bandits outside Yunshui City, although the highest cultivator among them has not exceeded the fifth stage of the life period, but there are many of them to perform the task without danger to their lives, but the reward is small, and the hard work is more, so no one chooses to hang out the task for a month.
Zhang Yun's eyes lit up when he heard the reward, and he almost forgot to ask about the reward just now.
"The task reward is a martial art, called 'Heavenly Demon Palm', which is fused with the power of the Tiansha Stars and fused into the spiritual power to hit it, and it can only be cultivated by embroidering above the realm of ascending to the sky, this kind of martial art is useless for people in the prefecture-level area. But I'm sure you'll be able to practice it soon. Senior brother said haha.
Zhang Yun thought to himself, the task sounded good, and he accepted it.
Zhang Yun returned to his residence and talked to Duan Xuan while packing his bags and getting ready to go, Duan Xuan did some homework for Zhang Yun to prevent him, a fledgling stunned boy, from being deceived by those old rivers and lakes.
Following
Zhang Yun walked out of the Qingfeng School Mountain Gate, found an inconspicuous inn and changed into the scholar's clothes prepared in advance, and in a blink of an eye, Zhang Yun, who was still sunny and active just now, became a quiet and weak poor scholar. Zhang Yun made a careful calculation before he left last night, pretending to be a scholar and walking alone in the dense forest, he would definitely become the prey of robbers.
Yunshui City is surrounded by mountains and forests, this forest is inferior and dreams of riding the parent forest, if it were not for their protection, Yunshui City would have been swept away by the raging wind and sand. But there are advantages and disadvantages, and bandits and bandits often like this kind of easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack place as their nest.
Zhang Yun was alone on the path leading to the outside world, and before he could go far, two strong men with fierce bodies suddenly appeared in front of him, holding short knives, and walked towards Zhang Yun with hideous faces.
The tip of Zhang Yun's mouth rose slightly, thinking to himself, it's finally here.
"Hehe, little brother, are you going to take the exam? My brother will help you review. The strong man laughed wildly, the corners of his mouth raised, and he grinned to the root of his ears.
"Two eldest brothers, they must not be ordinary people in appearance, why bother the younger brother?" Zhang Yun was afraid that the bandits would not take the bait, so he took out a few finely broken gold nuggets from his waist as he spoke.
The two strong men saw the shining gold, their eyes lit up, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes when they looked at each other, but they didn't expect such a poor scholar to be a god of wealth with a full waist!
"No more nonsense, let's go!" One of the two bandits grabbed Zhang Yun's shoulder and wanted to walk deep into the dense forest.
Not long ago, the three of them came to a brightly lit place, presumably this is their nest, not far in front of a one-eyed man in tiger skin saw Zhang Yun, and said to the two strong men beside him: "How did you bring back such a poor and sour thing?" ā
"Boss, this guy is not a small thing, this kid is really the God of Wealth!" Thinking of the matter of handing over the gold nuggets just now, the two of them couldn't admit that this kid was a poor scholar.
"Oh? Is there such a thing? Hearing what the two said, the one-eyed boss was visibly interested. He scratched his eyebrows with a knife, and approached Zhang Yun step by step, "Boy, what's the matter?" ā
Compared with those two guys who see money, this boss obviously has multiple hearts, in case it is the son of a high-ranking official and nobleman, we can't afford to provoke it.
"Haha, I don't have any big deals, it's just that I found some gold while walking in the mountains a few days ago." Zhang Yun continued to pretend to be garlic.
"Hahahaha, boy, I like your honesty, brothers, there's meat to eat today! Dinner! The one-eyed boss heard this, and he had no worries, killed Zhang Yun, seized the treasure, and continued to be romantic.
Just as Zhang Yun was about to make a move, a small scout in front hurried back, his face full of joy was uncontrollable, and he said excitedly: "Boss,,,, boss!" There is a team of carriages and horses moving forward, and it is clear that it is a young lady from the rich man's family! ā
The boss said loudly with round eyes: "Really? ā
Seeing that the scout nodded hurriedly, the one-eyed boss said excitedly: "Brothers, copy the guys and eat meat!" Let's have fun with each other! ā
"Roar!" When the brethren heard this, they all cried out with excitement.
"Boss, what should this kid do?"
The one-eyed boss pondered for a moment and said, "There must be guards in the convoy, we have to go out in all directions, take this kid with us!" ā
