Chapter 230: 'Divine Bead' and Spirit Grass City (2-in-1)
Out of town that night.
Equipped with seventeen horses, he went all the way east, passing through mountains, forests, streams and rivers.
Tens of thousands of miles away.
For innate martial artists, stop and go, pass by a certain city to change a new horse, if you want to hurry up, that is, more than a month of effort.
In addition, Jiang Cang had already planned, this was done by horses, dry food and elixir were abundant, and the spirit of his party was guaranteed.
If there is no accident, it can be less, and in about thirty days, it should be able to reach the vicinity of Lingcao City.
It's not like an acquired martial artist, even if he rides a horse, but he doesn't rest day and night, and this body can't bear it.
But if you make sure that your body is safe and have a good rest every two days, then I don't know how long it has been delayed.
Therefore, in terms of 'riding a horse and rushing away', not counting the personal rush, Jiang Cang felt that the gap between the acquired and the congenital was quite large, and he couldn't bear it spiritually.
And you must know that there are more than a dozen large states in the Lingwu Continent, countless mountains, forests and seas, and millions of miles away, if there is no realm that is not enough, even if you have the intention to travel, you can only travel to remote places in your life.
It is no wonder that every ten or hundred years on the mainland, someone has an adventure, and the continent is so vast that no one can explore it at all.
And Jiang Cang thought about it, and more than half a month had passed since he walked along the way.
On the morning of the seventeenth day, it was not yet light.
Jiang Cang and the others had already traveled more than 70,000 miles, more than half of the total, and came to the last city on the Tianyang border.
There are only less than 60,000 li left, and if you rush to 5 or 6 thousand miles a day, it will be about 10 days or so.
But although this city is located on the border of the Tianyang Sect, it is not too prosperous, but it is not chaotic.
Jiang Cang saw that the people and merchants who got up early in front of the city were lined up in an orderly manner, chatting, and the white haze was floating in the winter, and there was nothing in the wilderness, so they came in a chaotic manner.
"Trim it up."
In front of the city gates.
Jiang Cang turned around and looked at the slightly tired people, and the horses under them also had the intention of stopping.
Then take a rest in the city, have a meal, and find the 'disciple who crossed the river' arranged by the sect. β
Because a hundred miles further on, there will be a river between the two states, which needs to be crossed by boats.
When you go there, you will reach the state boundary of Lingcaomen.
"Yes.." After running all the way, the disciples knew the temper of Steward Jiang, so they didn't say anything more, 'I can still hold on to the others', so they dismounted and walked towards the city, ready to eat a good meal, and replenish dry food.
There is no need for horses, and when the river is crossed, there will be a city in front of it, and there will naturally be a way.
"That junior brother is in the city lord's mansion in the west of the city." Another disciple entered the city gate and volunteered to go and call 'Disciple who crossed the river.' β
Jiang Cang saw it, sensed his aura fluctuations, and his innate greatness was intact, so he let him go.
Otherwise, if you excuse yourself, you will be idle for half a day, and you will delay your meal, and someone will call you late.
If you count the fact that the ferry will be slower by sea, it will definitely delay a little distance, and it may not arrive before the evening.
And as time passes.
Jiang Cang and the others were eating at the morning market stall in the south of the city, and they prepared some dry food.
By the time half an hour had passed, the sky was completely bright.
The disciple had come with a middle-aged man dressed as a boatman in a thick cloth shirt.
Not surprisingly, he is the 'junior brother' in the mouth of the law enforcement disciple, and the ships that come and go to the Lingcao Gate in the sect are all handled by him, and he is also the deputy city lord of the city.
Don't look at his age of more than forty. The age of the law enforcement disciples is not low, and most of them are middle-aged, so it is good to call the junior disciples.
"I've seen Steward Jiang.." The boatman came to the stall and saluted Jiang Cang, and then called out to the surrounding law enforcement disciples, "Senior brother." β
The passers-by looked sideways, but they didn't stop, they recognized that the deputy city lord of the city, the 'boatman', was entertaining people from the sect at this time, so who of them dared to listen?
"Have you eaten?" Jiang Cang returned the salute with a fist, and ordered the steaming rice porridge on the table, two stacks of untouched pickles, and four steamed buns, "It's for you, it's cold this weather, and it won't last long, so eat it while it's hot and then set off." β
"I.." The boatman was busy thanking him, and he wanted to excuse himself, for fear of delaying the affairs in the door.
But as Jiang Cang's words fell, he glanced at the disciples next to him, and they instantly stood up, pressed the boatman to the table, handed him chopsticks, and asked him to finish his meal before leaving.
"Thank you, Steward Jiang.." The boatman said no more, eating.
He was really hungry, and he was called out by his senior brother before he woke up.
Wait for the gobble to eat, and finish eating in large and small bites.
The boatman stood up and made a gesture to Jiang Cang and the others, and the boat was on the lake and river outside the city.
"Let's go." Jiang Cang tilted his head towards everyone, and then followed the boatman.
When they came to the outside of the city.
Walking about thirty miles to the west, the smell of water wafted in.
Jiang Cang looked ahead, a large lake in the west not only did not freeze, but now there is a ten-zhang long water bridge erected on the shore, fifteen boats of different sizes are parked around the ferry, a handful of green water and grass reflected, it looks like spring and autumn.
There were also a few wooden houses on the shore, which were moldy and polished.
Inside lived the city's guards, who were also the 'boat men' who guarded the ships, and there were a few pillars of incense outside the door that had not yet burned out, which were used to repel mosquitoes.
"Castle Lord.." They saw Jiang Cang and the others coming through the window, walked out of the house one after another, hurriedly saluted, and looked at the clothes of Jiang Cang and the others, and called out with their fists, "Senior brother." β
"This.." The boatman didn't like it, because he wanted to introduce Jiang Cang, this is not a senior brother, but a housekeeper.
But Jiang Cang waved his hand and looked at the boats around the long bridge.
"It's the ship in the middle." The boatman understood, and then led the way, and came to the longbridge ferry, and jumped on a boat with a tent about five feet long.
"There is labor." Jiang Cang hugged his fists, and everyone else also boarded the ship one after another, the area is not small, not to mention standing, lying down is more than enough.
"Steward Jiang is too polite.." The boatman smiled and saluted, and then said to the disciples who came with him, "I will go this time, and you will continue to be on duty." β
"Yes.." Everyone hugged their fists in response, no need to think about it, the city lord has personally stepped out, it is definitely a big man from the sect!
If they weren't mistaken, it must be the 'Jiang Steward.' β
But it doesn't matter what everyone thinks.
The boatman walked to the spacious canopy in the middle, lifted the curtain, took out an object similar to an oar, and came to the bow of the boat, first untied the bow rope tied to the ferry bridge, and then supported the ferry stake with the oars, felt the direction of the wind, and let the boat make a small half circle, and the bow of the boat was facing southwest.
Just this hand, if you don't have some strength and no skill, eighty percent of them won't be able to turn around.
Then the boatman put down the oars again, drew the sail from the pole beside him, and with a flick, reflecting the wind, left the long bridge and headed east.
"Good skills!" When the law enforcement disciples on the boat saw this scene, they didn't save any admiration, they were all their own junior brothers, this junior brother had been in Jiangkou for many years, and he had paid a lot for the sect, which should be praised.
"I've been boating for twenty-three years." The boatman smiled and saluted back, "Now when you hear the direction of the wind, you know where to move the boat cloth, which is nothing worthy of praise from the senior brothers." If you want to praise it, it is also the junior brother who praises the senior brothers, they are all traveling to the Lingcao Gate for the sect, and I am still turning around in the city of Jiangkou. β
"Look at what you're saying!" When a disciple saw it, he felt that the boatman was laughing at himself, and his tone was not happy, but he didn't say that he would take the boatman to Lingcaomen to have a look.
Because of the strict rules, who has whose task, not to say that they will go, in case the task comes, the person is not at the post, then whose responsibility is it?
In addition, the boatman said that if he really wanted to let him go, he didn't want to go, and he had long been used to swimming around.
How comfortable is it to be a deputy city lord in the city, and there are subordinates to entertain you back and forth?
Except for the big people in the sect, he usually sleeps until he wakes up naturally, and this day is much more leisurely.
"It is estimated that when the sun has just set, we will go to the Lingcaomen Prefecture." The boatman smelled the slightly fishy wind, the tiredness of getting up early was gone, and there was still a sweet taste of rice porridge in his mouth, "Today's wind is not small, it will be faster than in the past." If you want to rest, let's rest early. β
As he spoke, he pointed to the boat shed, "This boat is dedicated to transporting senior brothers in the sect. The quilts inside have just been changed, and the good goods bought in Sun Ji cloth shop are all silk jokes. Sun Ji has sent a lot of cloth to our sect, so I guess the senior brothers know their craftsmanship, right? β
"Sun Kee's silk?" A few disciples looked inside, and it was really a pillow quilt sewn by Jinluo Duanzi.
One of the disciples even quipped: "The senior brothers who go out are treated very well!" I still slept on a stone bed and hay in the sect. As far as the disciples of the inner gate are rich, they use cotton clothes sewn by Sun Ji cloth. β
"Sleep well to be refreshed." Jiang Cang looked at the turquoise lake and interrupted the disciple's cheeky words, "I'm also out of the door, I must sleep and eat well." It's not in the sect, you can make do with it. β
Jiang Cang said, hearing that no one answered, he turned around for a while, looked at the people who were listening, and smiled, "This is not a big reason. It's just that we can't let the people of the outer sect see that we look down, and we still sleep on a stone bed when we travel. "TV debut
"What Steward Jiang said is true!" When everyone heard Jiang Guan's words, they smiled and saluted, and they all went to rest in the canopy.
It was also during the month and a half that they were rushing back and forth on horseback, and now they can finally lie down and have a good rest, of course, they are happy.
Although it is a boat, it is swaying, but it is better than riding a horse.
Especially as law enforcement disciples, they often go to the sect to do errands, capture sinners, and sleep everywhere, this boat is considered 'superior', not to mention Sun Ji's complete set of pillows and quilts, lying on it is soft and soft, just like sitting on cotton, very comfortable and relaxed.
Including Jiang Cang was also leaning on the edge of the canopy, with a brocade embroidered pillow on his back, saving himself from coming, and they were embarrassed to sleep, and the boatman didn't have to row the boat.
And for a while, as everyone rested, only the sails were 'whirring' by the wind, and the bottom of the boat broke the waves.
Occasionally, the boatman would adjust the sails and the sails would sound softly.
Until noon.
The weather is getting warmer, and as the afternoon approaches, it's time to eat.
The people who had slept well got up one after another and began to prepare dry food.
There was also the sound of falling into the water from time to time, and three or four disciples took off their coats and jumped into the icy lake water in the winter, touching the fish hidden in the aquatic plants. ζζΊη«― δΈη§θ¨δ½γβm.\B\iq\u\g\\o\mγ provides you with wonderful \ novel reading.
And they are all innate realms, the temperature of the icy lake water of about two or three degrees is nothing for them, it is better for ordinary people to take a cold bath.
But it's also their fishing.
Wait for one of the disciples to catch a grass carp and get on the boat.
Jiang Cang saw that he took a sip of the lake water on his face, and instead of going down, he threw the fish next to his junior brother and asked him to scrape the scales, and asked everyone curiously: "Do you say there is a treasure in this lake?" β
"Baby?" Everyone was stunned.
But when the boatman heard the word baby, he smiled between his eyebrows, but shook his head and said, "I don't know how deep and wide the lake is here." It's hard to find a treasure in this lake."
"What does junior mean. Yes? A disciple asked, "According to what the senior disciple said, if there are treasures in this place, it must have attracted a lot of people to come, right?" β
"That's right! Didn't you lie to me? Another disciple answered, "The places that can be found on the mainland have already been found by various sects. If there were treasures here, wouldn't anyone come looking for them? β
"Who said that?" The boatman hurriedly defended, probably because he was afraid that the senior brothers and Steward Jiang would be angry, "A month ago, Elder Li, who came back from the Lingcao Gate, came here and said that there was a treasure here, but it was useless for Elder Li, so Elder Li took it and put it in the lake, saying that it was to be left for the senior brothers of the innate realm in the sect.. Let's see which senior brother is going to work in the door, and let me tell which senior brother.."
"Is this an additional reward for the mission in the sect?" A disciple's eyes seemed to glow, "Where did Elder Li say that?" β
"Said .." The boatman didn't hide it, "Elder Li said, as long as it's a disciple in the sect who asks.."
"Where?" The disciples went straight to the point and looked around.
"Three miles to the east.." The boatman stopped talking nonsense and pointed in one direction, which happened to be on the way.
And Jiang Cang didn't say a word from beginning to end, and when he reached the end, he pointed to the water over there and said, "Which senior brother has better water nature, I.."
'Puff..'
Before Jiang Cang's words fell, there were two law enforcement disciples left on the boat to protect Jiang Cang.
The rest of the people all went into the water, or tread water, or snorkeled in the lake, trying to swim three miles hard.
When the ship arrives, they may also find the treasure without delaying any journey.
And when the ship passes by, and is about to reach that water.
With the sound of 'bang' water, several disciples floated out of the water with three palm-sized jade boxes.
'Smack'
Waiting for the boat to pass by, everyone got on the boat one after another and opened the box in front of Jiang Cang, expecting it.
One of them entered the water, and there were only some pieces of pills in it, and it was impossible to tell what the pill was, so it was estimated that Elder Li didn't put it back.
Everyone looked at it, a little disappointed, and then looked at the next one.
Unfortunately, the jade box in the middle also entered the water, it was a slightly transparent bead, the size of the thumb was round, like a glass bead, who knows what it was, but it was also jade, but it was water-proof, and it was not damaged by corrosion.
When I wiped it, it was quite bright in the sunlight.
The crowd looked at it, set it aside, and opened the last box.
Wait for it to be opened, it is well preserved inside, and it is very dry in the lake, it is twenty-two Qi Cultivation Pills, and there is a 'leaf' sign on the bottom of the box, which is refined by the Spirit Grass Gate.
Finally, check it out.
To be honest, the last box is a good object, the rest of the worldly beads and treasures, as well as the Qi Cultivation Pill, maybe for the acquired martial artist, it is a good thing, it is indeed a treasure, worth about 30,000 silver.
But for the innate disciples, in terms of the value of the pills and boxes, the family can still make up tens of thousands.
The beads are of little use except for being pretty.
But.
Jiang Cang looked at this bead, but his mind turned and he realized that something was wrong with this bead.
So there was nothing polite about this, he took the beads and looked at them, and gave them the pill and the box in the grateful eyes of everyone.
Because of the Qi Cultivation Pill, I still have it, so I went to buy it again this time.
The storage has a yuan energy box, which is not lacking and is more waterproof.
Why don't you take a look at this strange bead?
Take it again.
Jiang Cang sensed this bead slightly, but he couldn't find out what he thought, this bead was indeed an 'unopened elemental object.' β
And this bead is the same as 'life-saving straw, jabby must be repaid', it is like a mud cow entering the sea, without any 'hint and guidance', and there is no 'characteristic', and it is like an ordinary item in your hand.
But, that's a good thing,
If I didn't guess wrong, this eighty percent is another 'godly object that twists the rules!' β
There are only 'divine objects', which have no hints at all, no characteristics at all, and no cohesion, including friendship, but they are displayed as 'meta-objects'. β
Suddenly.
Jiang Cang thought about it here, he put away the beads, and he didn't want any other Qi Cultivation Pill boxes, it was really useless.
Because to tell the truth, I have passed through more than a dozen worlds, so many exclusive, so special, and I have only seen the two special elements of 'life-saving straw and retribution'.
It can be known that this object is not to say that it is impossible to meet, even if it is encountered, I don't know if it can be encountered.
Needless to say, which is more important.
But if it does, it will be open in the future.
This kind of divine creature does not break the rules, and its characteristics belong to the 'divinity', which reverses the system of the entire Yuan Energy World.
Like a life-saving straw, it can be resurrected.
Jaireyes will be revenged, and they can hunt down and kill all those who leave behind.
If these two Yuan Objects are known to the rest of the Yuan Ability, I am afraid that they will go crazy.
Because he can not only see them, but also hunt them down from the ends of the earth, this is a personal fear, afraid of being watched by a top hunter.
Now.
I don't know what kind of 'divinity' is after this bead opens? β
And Jiang Cang thought about it, the voyage of the ship has not changed.
The boatman is an old expert, the sky is clear, the lake is quiet, and nothing happens on the way.
Until it was nearly evening.
As the boatman said, it was really before the sunset that reached the realm of Lingcaomen.
Say goodbye again.
Jiang Cang and all the law enforcement disciples found a city nearby and prepared their horses to move forward, as half a month ago, and now half a month later.
Stop-and-go.
As he thought, on the thirtieth afternoon, he came to Lingcao City.
