Chapter 8: Heavenly Sword City and Senior Brother Xiao
Xiao Jinpeng, one of the disciples of the contemporary sect master of the Sword Sect, is over eighty years old, and his cultivation is already in the early stage of the Golden Pill, and he is currently serving as a deacon in the Heavenly Sword City of the Sect.
Heavenly Sword City is equivalent to a large bazaar of the Sword Sect to the outside world, and the resource processing of the mining and collection of the mineral vein spirit field to which the sect belongs, as well as the trading of all foreign materials, are all handed over to Heavenly Sword City to handle, which shows that this is a big fat gap.
The Heavenly Sword City Lord is rotated one by one, and the surname of the current generation of the City Lord is Long.
There is a large lake that stretches for hundreds of miles outside the Heavenly Sword City, its name is the blue sea, unfathomable, it is said that there is a secret channel at the bottom of the lake, which leads directly to the East China Sea.
Bihai Listening to the Tide Pavilion is the highest pavilion in Tianjian City, and the boundless waves of the blue sea can be directly seen on the upper floors of the building, so it gets its name.
On this day, Xiao Jinpeng checked the details in the building, corrected the documents, and when he was tired, he stood up and looked at the picturesque scenery outside to cheer up.
Today is cloudless, the sky is clear and blue, it is a good season for the sword to ride the wind, Xiao Jinpeng thought so, but unfortunately there are a lot of affairs in the sect, and he can't help it.
Cultivation is cultivation, and someone in the sect must maintain it, otherwise everyone will bury their heads in cultivation, and no matter how big the family background is, it will be lost.
This is the duty and mission of being a disciple of the Sword Sect.
There is a troublesome matter in front of Senior Brother Xiao, Li Yunyi, Huo Runan, and Zhang Susu.
The first two are nothing, Li Yunyi heard that he is a relatively outstanding disciple in the current outer gate, Huo Runan, Xiao Jinpeng knows this gossip, a concubine of the Long family, has the potential to become a Danshi.
As for Zhang Susu, Xiao Jinpeng couldn't help but hold his forehead and sighed.
Su Su is very cute, everyone likes her, although she is often mischievous, but she is cute.
The key is that her lawless mother is simply asking for her life, in case she knows that her daughter sneaks out to do a task, there are three longs and two shorts, and the family money she has saved over the years must not be squeezed clean by her?
Fortunately, their mission is the Jin Kingdom, who am I, Xiao Jinpeng, the four princes of the Jin Kingdom, oh no, he may already be the imperial grandfather.
。。。。。。
From the sect to the Heavenly Sword City, there are seventy or eighty miles away, and ordinary disciples of the outer sect have to walk for most of the day if they have good foot strength, so the sect provides convenient transportation for the people who go out of the mountain.
Immortal crane, go back and forth with a low-level spirit stone, a sword talisman, two pieces the size of a single person, and fifty pieces the size of ten people.
Black!
Fortunately, the three of them are performing sect missions, and they can ride for free with mission tokens.
The two girls chose the elegant crane, and Li Yunyi chose the sword talisman without hesitation.
The sound of the wind, the chirping of cranes, the sound of swords.
The mountains of the Sword Sect behind him are getting farther and farther away, the sky is clear in front of them, feeling the oncoming breeze, next to Su Su and Huo Runan are shouting on the crane, Li Yunyi straightened his messy hairstyle, and the BGM of the Sword Rivers and Lakes sounded in his ears.
Even if it's a dream, it's worth it, and this time there are really tears in Li's eyes.
However, in just half an hour, the large-scale Heavenly Sword City was in sight, the white and tall city walls reflected the dazzling light, the pavilions and pavilions in the city were lined up one after another, the boundless blue sea and the Sword Sect Listening to the Tide Pavilion had already come into view, all kinds of flying spirit beasts and chariots came and went, and it was a good fairy atmosphere.
With a burst of exclamations from the three of them, the crane and the sword talisman turned sharply down, heading towards the direction of the Bihai Listening Tide Pavilion.
I don't know the true face of Lushan, just because hearing is false and seeing is believing, the eighteen-story attic is like a sword soaring into the sky, Li Yunyi seems to have a skyscraper high.
Su Su, who has never been out of the mountains, is already stunned.
The immortal crane stopped directly in the open space in front of the pavilion, and a servant had already stepped forward and asked, "But Li Yunyi and his party?" ”
Li Yunyi arched his hand and replied, "Exactly." ”
"Please come with me, Lord Xiao has been waiting for a long time."
The ninth floor of His Excellency Bihai Tingchao is open to the public, which is used for the trading of various immortal cultivation resources, and outsiders are allowed to enter and exit, while the upper ninth floor only allows disciples of this sect to enter and exit.
Xiao Jinpeng is located on the fifth floor of the upper nine floors, in a south-facing room, with a unique view.
Under the leadership of the servants, Li Yunyi and the three of them took the Wind Lifting Array, that is, a kind of wind energy elevator, and went up here to meet Xiao Jinpeng, the person in charge of the task.
Li Yunyi walked into the room while looking, and saw a handsome man wearing a light yellow robe and a purple and gold crown with his hair tied with his back to the window, sitting on the front of the window, holding a pen and writing something.
Before anyone else could speak, Su Su, who was following behind, had already rushed up and shouted at the blue sea outside.
Li Yun was indifferent to Xiao Jinpeng's opinion, obviously knowing Su Su.
He is a man who understands!
Putting down the pen, Senior Brother Xiao took out the task document of Li Yunyi and the three of them, looked at the slightly cramped teenager and girl in front of him, and motioned for them to sit down.
"I am the supervisor of the three of you for this mission, the mission location is the capital of the Jin Kingdom, where people have died violently every night for nearly a year, suspected of being sucked dry by ghosts, and the local scattered cultivators have also been poisoned, so someone has asked us here, your task is to investigate this matter clearly and report it to the sect, the task evaluation depends on the implementation of the situation, and in case of force majeure, use the Qianli Messenger in time, understand?"
Li Yunyi raised his hand like a primary school student and asked, "Will the sect provide the corresponding magic weapons?" ”
"When it comes to tasks that are suspected of being ghosts, the sect will provide a free soul-attracting banner for low-level disciples during the mission, which is one of the benefits of outer disciples." Xiao Jinpeng nodded.
Li Yunyi was very satisfied when he heard this, a big organization is good.
"In addition", Senior Brother Xiao glanced at Su Su, who was looking at the scenery on the side, and said in a low voice: "Take care of this girl and keep a low profile during the mission." ”
Li Yunyi and Huo Runan were speechless, and everything was silent.
It was already noon when she came out of Senior Brother Xiao, Su Su kept rubbing her eyes, the water light of the blue sea was too dazzling, and her beautiful eyes were shook.
"I don't like Senior Brother Xiao, he is young and like an old man, and he chatters like my grandfather." The clear distinction between love and hate is not simple.
The task period given by the sect is half a month, and he received the magic weapons and travel fees from the Tingchao Pavilion, and made a slight adjustment in the lounge in the pavilion, Li Yunyi proposed to go shopping, and received strong support from the two little girls.
In the attic, Xiao Jinpeng looked at the three people who were far away and sighed faintly.
It's obviously his hometown, and he can solve it without much effort, but he doesn't want to, and he can't do it, maybe this is the so-called difference between immortals and mortals.
It's been half a year since I last saw my loved ones.
