Chapter Twenty-Eight: First Arrival in Lingzhou
In this world, there are five continents, namely Bingzhou, Lanzhou, Xizhou, Lingzhou and the Continent of Gods and Demons. When a soul master on one continent enters another continent, he needs to pass through the patrol points at the junction of various states, and it is inevitable that some unscrupulous people will sneak into the continent and cause unnecessary trouble. For the sake of peace between the continents, people who normally enter a continent will be distributed by the patrol point to symbolize the identification tokens of each continent, this regulation did not exist originally, but in recent years, there have been disputes between the states, and this provision has been added for the safety of the continent.
After walking with Chen He for a long time before he came to the junction of Bingzhou and Lingzhou, Chen He looked at the people standing in front of the pass in front of him, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, and asked: "Sister, do we have so many people going to Lingzhou every day?" ”
Shen Sangsang looked at the soldiers who were searching the belongings of the soul masters in front of him and replied: "I inquired before I came, and said that there will be a treasure competition held by the royal families of Lanzhou and Lingzhou Continent in the autumn season not long after, and at that time, the soul masters of each continent will bring treasures to participate in the treasure fighting, I think I should have gone to Lingzhou in advance to prepare in advance." ”
"Treasure Conference?" Chen He touched his chin, "Why did Lingzhou think of holding this competition?" ”
"The two continents of Lingzhou and Xizhou have been in dispute in recent years, and many people say that the two continents are likely to ignite a war, and now there is also gossip that the two continents are secretly gathering troops and horses. Although Lingzhou and Xizhou are almost equal in the mainland rankings, it is only in recent years that Lingzhou has experienced a mutiny that has led to a lack of troops, and the national strength is still somewhat empty. Lanzhou has always been indisputable, but the troops are sufficient. Maybe Lingzhou wants to take advantage of this to win over Lanzhou. Shen Sangsang replied.
Chen He said with a smile: "I see." Holding a treasure competition in the name of the two continents can show Lanzhou their intention to cooperate internally, but externally, those people in the Xizhou continent who do not know will mistakenly think that the two continents have already discussed cooperation, and they will not dare to make rash moves. This is a clever move. ”
I don't know how long I waited, the sun in the sky above my head shone unscrupulously on people's bodies, and many people began to become a little impatient, reaching out to wipe the sweat beads on their foreheads, while muttering in their mouths how they couldn't reach themselves.
At this time, Chen He had also lost his patience, looking at the long line in front of him, he didn't know when it would be their turn, and sat directly on the ground. Shen Sangsang looked down at him and asked with a smile, "Can't stand it?" ”
"It's too hot this day." Chen He replied impatiently, and fanned the wind next to his face with his hand.
Shen Sangsang looked at Chen He on the ground, covered his hand on his forehead, looked up at the scorching sun slightly, and hurriedly lowered his head when his eyes hurt a little from the strong light, took out two white pills, and handed one of them to Chen He: "Put it in your mouth to relieve the heat." ”
Looking at the white pill in her hand, Chen He almost bounced up, took it, and his eyes lit up: "Sister, do you still know how to do alchemy?" I knew that I was also practicing alchemy, but I always felt that there was no future in cultivating alchemy. ”
"Actually, I'm not very proficient in alchemy, and these were left to me by your master. Since I had the ability to cultivate, I started my cultivation directly from the Soul Fighting Master, and I didn't come into contact with the alchemy refining tools and spirit traps you mentioned. Your master is more powerful, he was able to practice refining alchemy and soul hunting at the same time when he was very young, and he only started cultivating souls after each of them reached nearly full level. When Shen Sangsang mentioned Liang Yiyu, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
"This can too?!" Chen He couldn't help but be a little surprised, although he had long known that the master was powerful, but he didn't know that he was so talented, generally when the soul master in the Lingzhou Continent was introduced, he could only choose one of the three to start cultivating, and after he could practice one and reach the advanced level, he wouldn't care about the other two, so he went directly to the soul cultivator to become a soul fighting master. In Bingzhou, no one would take alchemy refining tools and soul hunting seriously, in their eyes, these were just to be able to cultivate souls and become soul fighters. What makes Chen He admire even more should be his courage and foresight!
Shen Sangsang said: "Your master has gone through a lot to get to where he is now, I remember that when I first met him, he was only a senior spirit catcher level 5, and the rest of the alchemy refining tools had not yet begun to cultivate. It was only after accompanying me to the ghost snake that in order to survive, he began to learn alchemy refiners on the spot, and it only took three years to be forced to become a full level of alchemy refiners. ”
She recalled the scene in the ghost snake when the child who could only hunt spirits at first began to slowly force himself to become stronger in order to protect himself and herself. It's clear that he's still so young, and he has to shoulder the lives of two people. There are dangers in the ghost, and if you take a wrong step, you will fall into the abyss, but he never seems to have given up on himself. Due to his unstable strength and poor health, he basically relied on Liang Yiwei's back for nearly half of the time......
"Skills don't press, these are always useful." Shen Sangsang looked at Chen He and said, "Actually, you are quite similar to your master when he was a child. ”
Chen He replied with a smile: "Then I have to become so powerful like my master!" ”
Looking at the ambitious young man in front of her, she felt a kind of sadness in her heart, if she could regret it, in fact, Shen Sangsang didn't want Liang Yiyu to accompany her in again. Compared with becoming stronger, she is more concerned about how many times Liang Yiyu has been injured and how many times she almost lost her life.
"Girl?" A familiar voice sounded in his ears, and then Shen Sangsang saw a soldier running from the inspection point and saluted the person who spoke: "Your Highness! ”
Shen Sangsang looked back and found the white-clothed young man riding on the horse, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and saluted: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Lingzhou." ”
The man in white who was sitting on the horse got off the horse and walked next to her and bowed slightly: "The girl is going to Lingzhou?" ”
"yes, go and see the world." Shen Sangsang replied.
Gu Yingshen saw Chen He standing beside her and asked, "Who is this?" ”
Shen Sangsang immediately introduced: "My friend, we made an appointment to come together. ”
"I see." Gu Ying smiled and nodded hello to Chen He, then looked at Shen Sangsang and said, "Why don't you go into the city with me, such a long line, the girl doesn't know how long she will have to wait." ”
Chen He was very happy, and immediately agreed: "Okay, okay, thank you Your Highness!" ”
Hearing Chen He's answer, Gu Yingshen immediately instructed the soldier to bring the two of them a sign, and then led the two into the city.
"If the girl doesn't dislike it, why don't you go to my house? It should be repaid to the girl. Gu Ying thought for a long time and still spoke, but it seemed that he had already expected the ending.
Shen Sangsang excused himself: "At that time, it was just a gesture, and besides, His Royal Highness has already sent a pair of earrings, so there is no need to trouble this time." "He is His Royal Highness the Prince, and his mansion is the East Palace, which is indeed very inconvenient.
Gu Yingshen replied with a smile: "I had long expected the girl to say this. I wonder if the girl can tell me your name this time? ”
Looking at the smiling man in front of him, Shen Sangsang couldn't refuse, and replied: "Shen Sangsang, the mulberry of the mulberry tree." ”
"Under Gu Yingshen." He also returned, and then took out a waist card from his waist and handed it to her and said, "If you need any help, just come to the East Palace to find me, I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you." As soon as the words fell, he got on and left, and he didn't even give Shen Sangsang time to refuse. She looked at the token in her hand and raised an eyebrow and smiled, maybe it would be useful.
took Chen He to a tavern to live, and after putting down his things, the two went to the street, ready to get to know the capital of Lingzhou. In order to learn the news quickly, Shen Sangsang and Chen He went their separate ways, asked Chen He to inquire about the news about his master, and began to inquire about other news.
