Chapter Seventy-Three: The Origin of the Mission
It's not that Chen Yuan is clumsy, even counting the more than twenty years on the earth, he has not systematically studied the formation at all, as for why he was able to find the formation eye, it was completely thanks to the Kunlun Daozang who was already familiar with it. Kunlun, who has stood tall for thousands of years and has always been the leader of the sect, has a very large collection of books on the way of formation. You must know that the Kunlun Dao collection is the essence of thousands of years of inheritance. Therefore, although Chen Yuan has not learned the formation, but the low-level formation is for Chen Yuan, as long as he is careful, it is equivalent to nothing, just by observing, he can find the formation eye and the door.
This is like asking a person who has memorized all the high school textbooks to answer the questions of elementary school, although this person has not gone to school, but will subconsciously use the knowledge that has been memorized to solve the problems, because the level of knowledge is different, so even if he has not been to school, for this person, the primary school questions are simple. It's no wonder that others don't believe it, who would have thought that Chen Yuan would have been exposed to more advanced formation knowledge in another world.
"By the way, City Lord, is it convenient to ask your age? It seems that you are not very old, I thought that the Lord City Lord was an old man like the Youtian City Lord. On the way to Hanqi City, Zhang Ling'er suddenly asked.
"I'm at least thirty years older than you. Although it is rude to casually ask someone's age, it is obvious that Yang Ting does not care. She didn't answer Zhang Ling'er's question positively, but very cleverly took the age of Chen Yuan and the three of them as the base and said a rough idea. However, although there is no exact number, it does not affect the exclamation of the three of Chen Yuan.
"Thirty years older than us, that's not more than forty years old, the city lord can't see it at all!" Feng Sanqi said with round eyes. Chen Yuan also secretly exclaimed, the years seemed to have only precipitated Yang Ting's character and temperament, and did not bring her any negative impact at all. Standing with Xin Zicao, who is in her twenties, is just more mature in temperament, the two are more like sisters when they stand together, and there is no difference of twenty years on the surface.
"Then are we going to call Auntie?" Feng Sanqi said. "Ah, you big-headed ghost, do you call lady that! Where does the city lord look like an aunt? I decided to call Sister Ting in the future!" Zhang Ling'er hit Feng Sanqi's head with a chestnut, looking at him dumbfounded, he was very speechless, and everyone looked at them and laughed.
"Listening to your words, it seems that I have seen the Lord of the Heavenly City. Xin Zicao keenly discovered another piece of information in Zhang Ling'er's words. "That's right, that gangster-like old man, shouting every day that he wants me to inherit his mantle and accept me as a disciple, it's annoying to death!" Zhang Ling'er said a little depressed.
"The capital city master will accept you as an apprentice, and you won't go?What family??The domain lord is your relative?" Xin Zicao didn't believe her ears. As soon as she said this, Zhang Ling'er became even more depressed, and said: "You have no conditions for accepting apprentices for him! He said that when he became his apprentice, he had to marry his grandson, and if I agreed, I would even lose myself! What is so great about the city lord of the capital, I will also be the city lord in the future! Just like Sister Ting, I can be a big official without that old man!" Zhang Ling'er said unconvinced. It is indeed a great opportunity for the city lord to accept apprentices, and if he can't say it, he can change the fate of his life. But in Zhang Ling'er's opinion, it is obviously his own freedom that is more important, it is false to say that he is not distressed, after all, it is such a big opportunity, but Zhang Linger has the courage and perseverance to refuse, although there is an element of anger in it, it is enough to impress Chen Yuan.
Along the way, there were Xin Zicao and Zhang Ling'er, two girls with lively personalities, plus Feng Sanqi's occasional tricks, the five people, including Chen Yuan and Yang Ting, quickly became familiar with them, and when they arrived in Hanqi City, Chen Yuan and the three of them lived directly in the City Lord's Mansion, intending to repair them overnight, and officially start the task the next day.
"Sister Ting, early. Early the next morning, Chen Yuan habitually got up early for morning exercises, and when he returned to the City Lord's Mansion, he saw Yang Ting sitting in the pavilion. After saying hello, Yang Ting beckoned Chen Yuan to sit down, poured a cup of freshly brewed tea and handed it to Chen Yuan. After Chen Yuan thanked him, he took the teacup, and before he could drink it, he was snatched by Zhang Ling'er, who also came back from morning exercise, and drank it. "Whew, I'm tired and tired. Sister Ting still has no water, and her throat is about to smoke. Zhang Ling'er sat beside Chen Yuan very unimpressively, fanning the wind with her hands, and kept chattering.
Chen Yuan couldn't help but hold his forehead, with an expression that I didn't want to know her. Yang Ting smiled dumbly, put down the teacup, and handed Zhang Ling'er a kettle, which was filled with a mountain spring, which was used to make tea and drink. In Chen Yuan's opinion, this pot of water obviously played a role in noise reduction, and Zhang Ling'er couldn't talk anymore when he drank water.
"Sister Ting, I want to ask you a question. Chen Yuan took another cup of tea handed by Yang Ting, and after taking a sip, Chen Yuan said to Yang Ting. Yang Ting nodded and motioned for Chen Yuan to continue. Chen Yuan said: "Since the matter of the Beast Tide started as early as three months ago, can't you solve this problem from the root with your high cultivation? Even if you send a few masters, you can go to investigate, why hasn't it been solved for a long time, and the task has been released to the Dao Academy?" Chen Yuan asked the question that had been confusing for the past few days. According to common sense, although the Daoist Academy is indeed a gathering place for elites and talents in a domain, the major main cities have their own armed forces and high-level cultivators, otherwise it will be impossible to maintain order in the main city and even the acropolis and towns under the jurisdiction of the main city. So why has the problem of the beast tide not been solved for a long time? Chen Yuan was very puzzled by this.
At this time, Feng Sanqi also came to the pavilion, and seeing that the three of them were there, Yang Ting said: "I understand your confusion, since there are so many of them, then I will tell you about this task."
The source of the beast tide is in the Hanqi Mountain Range hundreds of miles away from Hanqi City, and I didn't take it seriously when the beast tide first happened, because some treasures appeared in the mountains or forests, or the birth of the beast king in an area, and occasionally caused the beast tide, I thought it would pass once, but after a week, the beast tide happened again, and you must know that it is impossible to give birth to two beast kings near Hanqi City within a week. So I realized that something was wrong, and when I was fending off the second beast tide, I led the guards to the Hanqi Mountains to find out. But just as I was about to reach the core of the mountain range, a powerful force pushed me and my guards out, it should be an enchantment, or a spirit circle set up by some powerful spirit master. Under the influence of this force, I was pushed out of the confines of the mountain range, which was nearly twenty miles away from the core.
In the process of searching for the rest of the guard, I found that this force was only for those who cultivated strongly, and the stronger the cultivation, the farther they were pushed, and there was no chance to get close to the core of the mountain range. And those who cultivate to be relatively weak will face less power. After many attempts, I tried to find the critical point of this enchantment, and that power was completely counterable to a cultivator who only knew the realm of darkness, and successfully entered the core of the mountain range.
I sent in 10 of the best of the best, but none of them came out. In three months, a full twelve beast tides, nearly half of the villages and towns around Hanqi City were destroyed, and I could only ask the Daoist Academy for help and let the mission building issue a mission, hoping to investigate the situation in the core of the mountain range through the genius of the Daoist Academy. "No wonder this mission can be seen on the first floor of the mission building, it turns out that if the cultivation is high, you can't even enter it, let alone investigate." Zhang Linger said.
"I see, the entire ten Zhiyou Wuzhong masters have gone and never returned, I said how can this exploration mission be worth 10,000 contributions! Things are a little tricky!" Chen Yuan frowned and said, compared to other situations, Chen Yuan is more concerned about the danger of this mission, according to Yang Ting, this mission is extremely dangerous, and it is necessary to make all preparations.
