Chapter 030: It's Hard to Walk
"This is Steward Zhu, who is responsible for managing the delivery of items on the first floor." Hu Ying introduced to Ye Xinling.
"Zhu is in charge."
Steward Zhu nodded slightly, and took out a box from the Hundred Treasure Pavilion at the back, the box was sealed, and there was a large envelope on it, and the envelope was covered with some thick red wax stamps with the seal of the world.
Steward Zhu handed her the box and envelope: "The address is written in the envelope, and the content of the last test is to deliver the box to the designated address within three days, sign the receipt and then return." ”
Ye Xinling helped Uncle Wang deliver letters, and this is the first time to send items, but I think the regulations are similar.
"Okay." Ye Xinling took the box, the box was relatively light, and it didn't look like it was filled with something.
As a qualified porter, even if you are curious, you should never delve into the content of the delivery. This is what Uncle Wang told her, and she has always remembered it.
She put the box into the mustard seed bag, and was about to open the envelope to see where the things were going to be sent, when Steward Zhu's hand suddenly stretched out and pressed in front of her. "There's no hurry, it's never too late to go out and see again. You take these two things first, if you pass the assessment, they are yours, if you don't pass, you have to return them to me. ”
One of the two things that Steward Zhu said was a bronze badge and a small compass on his hand. The compass is only the size of a rice ball, and the plate is densely packed with something engraved. The badge is a symbol of the status of a disciple of the world, but as for the compass Ye Xinling, he doesn't know what it does.
Steward Zhu saw the question in her heart and said to her, "You have injected spiritual power into the Divine Plate. ”
It turns out that this is called the Divine Plate.
Ye Xinling injected spiritual power into it according to Steward Zhu's instructions, and the Shenxing Disk lit up, and there were three-dimensional mountains and rivers suspended on the disk, and then she understood that the Shenxing Disk was a map. It's just that the jade slip she bought on this map is much more advanced.
It is to condense the entire Qinshi Mansion in this Shenxing Plate, Ye Xinling's divine consciousness is wrapped in the Shenxing Plate, and as her mind changes, the phantom on the disk also changes. There was a small red dot on the phantom, and when she looked closely, she found that the red dot was exactly where she was now, which was more detailed and intuitive than Jade Jane.
"The final stage of the assessment begins, good luck." Hu Ying said to Ye Xinling with a smile, he had great expectations for her.
After Ye Xinling and Hu Ying left, Steward Zhu chuckled and returned to his seat, good luck, I'm afraid it's gone.
"Come on, little Lingling, when you come back, we will be senior brothers and sisters, come, call senior brother to listen first."
"Phew, if you want to call me, call me!" Yue Xiaotian and Lei Ren were in the hall, and when they saw Ye Xinling coming out, they really recognized their senior brother.
Ye Xinling shook her head with a smile and looked at the sky. It was a little dark when I went out this morning, and now the dark clouds gathered together, and the black pressure was over, and it was sure to rain after a while.
Paper cranes cannot be used on rainy days. She took out the envelope and looked at the delivery address: Juxiongzhuang, Luli County.
Luli County borders Dawei at the foot of the Luli Mountain, belongs to the most marginal county of Qinshifu, the road is relatively far away, Luli County has a lot of mountains and the road is dangerous, one goes and comes, the time is relatively tight.
"What's wrong?" Seeing her frowning, Lei Ren stopped arguing with Yue Xiaotian and asked.
"It's nothing, it's just a long way." Ye Xinling shook her head and said that it was nothing.
"It's normal to be far away, pay more attention on the road." Lei Ren handed her a three-layer food box: "Take it with you on the road to eat, if you are short on time, hurry up and get on the road." Lei Ren was afraid that she would not be able to eat well on the road in a hurry, so he specially asked Rou Niang to make some pastries and meals.
"Come back and invite you for a drink." Ye Xinling smiled and waved her hand and walked out of the world. Ye Xinling has been dependent on her little uncle since she was a child, and she has seen too much warmth and coldness in the world. She knew that Lei Ren was kind to her, and she wouldn't say much if she was grateful, but this friendship was firmly engraved in her heart.
As soon as Ye Xinling left, Lei Ren patted Yue Xiaotian on the shoulder: "Brother, help me last a day, and come back to invite you to drink." After saying that, he also left the world of gods. Two days ago, Ye Xinling gave him a small box and asked him to help send it home, but Lei Ren wanted to run it in person.
There are two things in the big envelope given to Ye Xinling by Steward Zhu, the same is a receipt document, the receipt has the recipient's name and address information, and there is a blank space below, which needs to be stamped with a private seal by the recipient, and if there is no private seal, the name on it is the same. The other is a letter, and the letter and the box are addressed to a man named Wang Yan.
Ye Xinling went on the road alone, and not long after leaving the city gate, the heavy rain poured down, and the continuous rain blocked the view. It wasn't the first rain of summer, but it was the most intense. Ye Xinling put on a hat and a robe, and used the cloud technique to hurry up.
On rainy days, there were very few pedestrians, the road was deserted, only occasionally one or two ox carts on the road passed by, the heavy rain kept falling, the wind kept blowing, and many trees were bent by the wind and rain.
Ye Xinling walked in the wind in a cloak, the hem of her skirt was soaked by the rain and stuck to her skin, and her small body was swaying in the wind and rain, as if she was about to be blown away by the wind at any time.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, there was a lot of water on the ground, and her shoes were covered with mud. This road is relatively remote, and after noon, it is not easy to see an abandoned house. After traveling for such a long time, Ye Xinling was cold and hungry, and planned to go to the house to rest for a while and eat.
She had just taken two steps and noticed a faint fire coming out of it, and it seemed that there were already people inside. She looked at the Shenxing Pan, which was still half an hour away from the next town, and didn't know if there was a place to rest halfway, so after thinking about it, she decided to go in.
In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, she first stood under the eaves and asked: "I am traveling on a rainy day, I want to take this place to rest for a while, I wonder if it is convenient?" ”
"The girl just came in." The man inside replied.
Ye Xinling pushed the door in, there were three people in the room, there was a man about twenty years old, he was dressed in gorgeous clothes, he should be the son of a family. There was a middle-aged man and a burly man in his thirties beside him, and the three of them were surrounded by a fire.
The burly man stared at Ye Xinling, and when he saw that she was just a person, he turned his head and ignored it.
Although the burly man was very cautious, he had no evil intentions, and the young man in gorgeous clothes simply sat there, but he exuded extraordinary bearing.
These three people are probably not bad people.
Ye Xinling chose a position to the side and took off the hat and robe, and the man in the gorgeous clothes not far away sighed lightly, Xu was surprised that such a small girl was traveling alone on a rainy day.
Ye Xinling didn't notice that the young man in Chinese clothes was a little happy when he saw her.
"If you don't mind, girl, come over and warm yourself up over the fire." After the man in the fancy costume finished speaking, the middle-aged man and the burly man automatically got up and gave up their place to her.
Ye Xinling was really a little cold, she thanked her and sat opposite the man in Chinese clothes. As soon as I got close to the fire, it was much warmer. Lei Ren gave her a food box with March peach blossoms, took it out and poured a cup and handed it to the Chinese costume boy.
The young man in the costume took it and drank it all, not seeming to worry about what she was doing in the wine.
Ye Xinling ate some food briefly, and after the clothes were dried, she got up to say goodbye to the young man in Chinese clothes.
"I didn't expect to meet her here, it seems that she should be conducting the last stage of the assessment of the world." After Ye Xinling left, the burly man looked at her back and said, the tone seemed to know her.
"Accidentally got up to hide from the rain in this dilapidated house, I didn't expect it to be so lucky, how does the young master think of her?"
"The one who can make him work hard can be sent there." The man in the fancy costume smiled, "Let's go, it's time for us to go." ”
The man in fancy clothes extinguished the fire with a fan and threw himself into the rain, which bounced off when it touched him.
The rain did not fall on him, and he did not seem to be speeding in the rainstorm, but strolling in the garden.
Ye Xinling's journey was not easy, the water on the road had not reached her ankles, and it had rained for a day, and the road was so slippery that she almost slipped to the ground several times because of her hurry.
Now, she's hit a big problem.
There is a Guansha River on the way to Luli County, the river surface of the Guansha River is nearly 100 zhang wide, there was originally a rope bridge on the river, but the heavy rain and flood broke out in the sky, the rope bridge collapsed and rushed to pieces, and even the bridge piers were submerged in the flood.
Ye Xinling looked at the tumbling flood and worried, how should she pass?
The river was too wide, and if it was narrower, she might have figured out how to write.
Swimming, it definitely won't work. The river was so turbulent that I was afraid that it would be washed away before it could swim to the center.
She took out the silver shuttle and tied it to her waist, and tried to throw it at the trunk of the tree across the river, but it was too far away, and it fell into the river two-thirds of the way. She tried several times without success, but had to give up on this method.
There are bridges upstream, but who can guarantee that the bridges upstream are good?
Ye Xinling leaned against the tree and kept thinking of ways, but one after another she denied it. In the face of the wide Guansha River, she felt powerless, and she even wanted to move a stone to tie to herself, and sink to the bottom of the river.
She walked to the river and reached into the water with her right hand to use the "Frost Diamond Crystal", and the river quickly formed a two-foot-wide ice bridge, but after a few breaths, it was washed away by the flood, and she was not sure that she could run to the other side before the ice bridge was washed away, and if she fell into the river halfway, she was afraid that it would be more troublesome.
Ye Xinling scratched her head in pain, and suddenly remembered that she still had a cold stone. The cold stone is extracted from a hundred years of cold ice, and it can be used to use ice spells to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
She took out the water bag and took a sip of water, and the water bag contained a diluted Rejuvenation Pill liquid. The Rejuvenation Pill helped her regain a lot of spiritual power and physical strength, and after a while, she held the cold stone in her hand.
The cold feeling spread throughout her body, and she shivered, feeling that she would be frozen into ice if she held it for a long time.
Without further ado, Ye Xinling poured spiritual power into the cold, the cold air erupted, the rain turned into ice and fell, the river blew white mist, and the originally surging Guansha River suddenly stopped.
