In a dense forest, Su Yan continued to refine the medicine for three days in a row, and prepared a month's reserve of pills for everyone before leaving.
Su Yan left everyone, immediately went back and forth to the city, and in an inn, he slowly took off the silver hollow inscription mask on his face, revealing a beautiful face, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "If you can't find the 'Phoenix Tail Fairy Orchid', this time the recruitment competition of the Five Great Sword Academies, I'm afraid it will be extremely dangerous." ”
Teng Snake closed his snake eyes in Su Yan's mind, and didn't look at Su Yan, who was changing his clothes with one arm, but chattered endlessly: "If you let me possess my body and kill all sides, how can there be so much trouble?"
Su Yan changed his clothes, tied a jade belt tightly around his waist, outlined a charming line, and sneered in his mouth: "I just wanted to praise you for not mentioning the killing of the Quartet recently, but you came again." Let me ask you, is your current strength enough to compete with the people in the entire Heavenly Sword Continent?"
"If I can compete with the people in the entire Heavenly Sword Continent, why do I need you?" Teng Snake said with a sneer.
Su Yan closed his eyes slightly, and said solemnly: "Isn't this it, since you need me, I also need you, so don't say anything, concentrate on doing the things at hand." As for the rest, if you are not afraid of being discovered by the masters, you can do it. I can tell you in advance, in this imperial capital, there are masters like clouds, and now it is the recruitment competition of the Five Great Sword Academies is imminent, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be any Five Great Sword Deans who come here to observe on a whim, if you are discovered at that time, don't blame me for not protecting you!"
"Those old horsemen, when Lao Tzu was at his peak, which one was Lao Tzu's opponent? Now it's just a dragon swimming in shallow water!" Teng Snake said angrily.
Su Yan didn't care about Teng Snake's set, he left a little silver ticket for himself, put it on the table, and jumped forward, flew out of the window, and came to the teleportation array of Tianchi City.
The officers guarding the city only felt a flower in front of them, and a girl with a worldly face appeared.
"Teleport, national capital. ”
"This girl, this journey is a long way, and it takes a thousand taels of silver to teleport once. "The garrison and the good way.
Su Yan nodded, handed over the silver ticket, and walked onto the stage, only to feel a flash of brilliance, and after a feeling of dizziness, he appeared in the imperial capital.
"Who's coming, quickly take out your identification!"
As soon as Su Yan stepped out of the teleportation array, he heard a loud shout, followed the reputation, and saw a group of capital generals holding sharp blades, smiled slightly, took out his waist card from the 'Yunling Hu', and handed it over.
"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the County Lord, and he didn't know His Royal Highness the County Lord, and asked His Highness for forgiveness. The leader of the capital city immediately bowed and said.
Su Yan smiled softly when he heard this, thinking that when he rode the teleportation array before, he had not encountered others checking his identity, and couldn't help but say: "Dare to ask this soldier, what happened in this national capital?
"This..."
"Returning to His Royal Highness the County Lord, it is like this, recently it is the time when the Five Great Sword Academies Recruitment Emperor Capital Selection Tournament opens, and there are mixed fish and dragons in the city, Your Majesty specially ordered us to come and check on me, so as not to mix with the people with bad intentions. Also..."
"What else?"
"In fact, it's not an ulterior matter, His Royal Highness the county lord is not in the imperial capital all the year round, you may not know, not long ago the queen mother was assassinated at the Qianqiu banquet and was seriously injured, Your Majesty specially ordered us to arrest the real culprit, this matter is in a uproar, and His Royal Highness the county lord will know about it after a while in the city. ”
Su Yan nodded when he heard this, looked at the general who replied, and said, "Thank you for telling me." ”
"Congratulations to the county lord. ”
After Su Yan left the teleportation array at the gate of the city, he looked at the bustling scene in the capital, and smiled to himself: "It is said that the capital of this country is as strong as a cloud, prosperous and healthy, but who knows the dirtiness hidden under this prosperous world?"
The assassination of the queen's mother at the Qianqiu banquet hints at the gloomy atmosphere in the peaceful and prosperous world of this huge capital.
It's just that these have nothing to do with her Su Yan.
Her identity as Su Yan who came this time was just a participant in the recruitment competition of the Five Great Sword Academies, not His Royal Highness the dignified county lord, so she naturally didn't want to get involved.
At this time, Su Yan was looking for streets and alleys with great interest, listening to the shouts of the stall owners, filling his already hungry stomach.
Suddenly, her ears moved, her steps paused, and she came to a stall.
Just listen, people are talking one after another: "Isn't this stall owner selling the Blue Spirit Snake, why does this person keep saying that this stall owner is selling fakes?"
"Who knows? Eighty percent is here to blackmail, and I don't look like a liar when I look at the honest appearance of this stall owner!"
"Yes, there have been a lot of miscellaneous people in the city recently, and the atmosphere is indeed not good, you see, now even the old woman has come out to extort money!"
Su Yan listened to the discussion of these people, and his eyes flashed, falling on an old woman in half-ragged clothes.
I only heard the old woman say: "This blue spirit snake is a second-order demon beast with a highly poisonous body! But this one in my hand, after I take it back, I can't even beat it, how can it be the famous blue spirit snake!"
"You woman, it's so unreasonable! What I sold you is the famous second-order demon beast Blue Spirit Snake, as for why you changed this ordinary little snake to blackmail me after you went back, I don't know!"
The stall owner looked sincere, and said with a little grievance: "I worked hard to hunt this nest of blue spirit snakes in the mountains, and specially sent them to the Jingshi, just in exchange for some money and silver, so as to save my mother's alchemy in bed after my family was attacked by demon beasts and seriously injured!
"You're a man... This is the money that my son worked so hard to save as a soldier... If it weren't for the fact that he would have something to rely on in the future, how could I have spent so much money!" the old woman wept.
Both sides insisted on their own words, and the onlookers present discussed a lot.
Su Yan smiled when he heard this, and glanced at the ordinary little snake with black lines on a blue background in the old woman's hand, and the 'Blue Spirit Snake' woven with gold wire in front of the stall owner, and sensed it carefully, and said, "This old woman, I believe you are not lying." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately turned their heads and looked at Su Yan.
I saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl dressed in moonlight silk brocade, with a faint trace of baby fat on her beautiful little face that had not faded, and her eyes were as clear as water.
Everyone immediately said: "Little girl, you can't just look at the surface, don't look at this old woman's tattered clothes and pitiful appearance, you will be soft-hearted and open your mouth indiscriminately!"
Su Yan smiled and said, "Everyone, there is no nonsense below. Please listen carefully to what I have to say, and it is not too late to make a decision. ”
"You little girl, what can you say?" everyone was stunned.
I saw that Su Yan squatted down unhurriedly and said to several people: "As we all know, this blue spirit snake is a second-order demon beast, and its strength is extraordinary, comparable to the master of my human race sword and gall realm. And this stall owner, in my opinion, his strength is only the appearance of the first or second layer of the Sword Guts Realm, and it is a little difficult to slash this second-order demon beast with a sword, so it can be seen that it took a lot of effort to get this nest of snakes. ”
Everyone nodded.
Su Yan said again: "However, the strength of this second-order demon beast is extraordinary, if you want to restrain it, when you use magic weapons to trap it, I don't know what kind of material these golden vines used by the stall owner are?"
The stall owner was stunned when he heard this, and muttered, "This, this is my unique magic weapon." ”
Su Yan smiled and said, "I see." Since the stall owner has the money to buy magic weapons, and he has a heart for his mother, I think he will not be stingy with money to treat his mother's illness?"
When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment and said, "The magic weapon is closely related to the cultivation of the monk, so naturally it can't be easily sold!"
"Yes, little girl, what are you going to say?"
Su Yan smiled when he heard this, pointed to the golden vine, and said, "What I want to say is that this is not a magic weapon at all, but a naturally growing plant, a spiritual borrowing!"
"Spirits?"
Everyone looked at each other.
After Su Yan smiled, he glanced at the stall owner who was in a cold sweat, and slowly spoke: "It's really hard for you to find such a thing." ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, this spiritual vine is a vine that naturally exudes energy fluctuations, and this vine is often used as a blindfold in remote and desolate places, and is tied to the body by hunters to deter monsters and avoid attacks by monsters. ”
"However, it is nothing more than an ordinary tree vine that can break with a single stroke of a sharp blade. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try. ”
When everyone heard this, the stall owner immediately said: "This is a magic weapon, if it is destroyed, let the blue spirit snake inside jump out, cholera capital, it will not be good!"
Su Yan smiled when he heard this: "It's just an ordinary little snake inside, and it has been decorated by you with a spiritual passage with so much energy fluctuation of demon beasts, how can it be in the cholera capital?"
As he spoke, Su Yan swung his sword and cut off the vines.
The long snake inside came out of the room, spitting out scarlet snake letters, and swam towards everyone, which immediately startled the onlookers.
"Huh, this little snake really left the vine, and there would be no energy fluctuations!" Suddenly, one of them said lightly.
Another immediately said, "Really! Let me see." ”
I saw that the man stepped forward with courage, lifted this long snake, and suddenly said angrily: "This is really an ordinary little blue snake!"
Seeing this, Su Yan hurriedly reminded: "Be careful, it's still poisonous! These snakes, insects, rats and ants, the brighter the color, the greater the possibility of being poisonous." ”
At this point, the truth has been revealed, and someone immediately went to report to the general who defended the city, informing him that there was a swindler swaggering in this place.
Seeing this, the monk who sold the fake blue spirit snake showed a dejected look on his face, stared at Su Yan's figure with hatred, and shouted at the general who tied him up and guarded the city: "I, I'm just to save the old mother in the family, and I ask you to be tolerant once, let go of the little one!"
At this time, Su Yan naturally would not be afraid of a monk on the first or second floor of the Sword Courage Realm, and in the praise of the monks, he turned his head to look at the old woman in half-torn clothes, smiled slightly, and wanted to leave.
But at this moment, I suddenly heard a chuckle: "Hehe, this girl is really extraordinary, she can see through the mystery of this spirit in one fell swoop, I don't know where the girl comes from, she is so well-read?"
Su Yan followed the prestige, only to see an elegant young man wearing a golden dragon embroidered with four claws walking out, everyone saw this situation, and immediately knelt down and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince!"
"His Royal Highness the Prince. Su Yan immediately bowed and said.
"Bold! When you see His Royal Highness the Prince, you still don't kneel?" said a young girl dressed in splendid redwoods behind the Prince.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Get up. The prince showed a warm smile and said gently: "Today, the prince just happened to be a guest in Heming Tower, and he happened to hear that someone was cheating, so he came down to take a look, and he didn't want to meet the girl to distinguish the truth from the fake." ”
Su Yan smiled and said: "It's just a small skill of carving insects, I have read a few herbal books in the past years, and when I saw that this spiritual book was interesting, I secretly remembered it in my heart." But I didn't want to, but today I saw the right Lord. It made His Highness smile, if His Highness has nothing else to do, please forgive me for taking the next step. ”
"Send someone to find out who this girl is. ”
"Wow!"
The prince looked at Su Yan's departing steps, and his left arm was hanging from his side, and his eyebrows suddenly frowned. I heard the girl in a splendid red shirt next to her, and said, "Cousin Prince, this girl seems to have a crippled left arm..."
