Chapter 104: The path to true love must be full of thorns

March 8, 2018

Looking at the crisp clear sky overhead, as well as the familiar mountains in front of him, Zhao Jincheng took a deep breath. The cold mist of the mountain air poured into his chest, and the square-faced monk felt a shock to his spirit.

It's time to enter the battlefield.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for him to go to the mountains south of the city to hunt demon spirits, according to Shen Cheng's rules, if he wanted to marry the daughter of the Shen family, he had to go to the chaos battlefield to hunt a demon spirit that was similar to the woman, in order to prove that he was worthy of the other party.

This family rule is really full of slots in Zhao Jincheng's opinion, but on the other hand, the Shen family has indeed been strictly implemented in this way for thousands of years, and occasionally encountering problems, they will also have the right to take expedient measures. For example, if the woman's cultivation is too high, causing the man to find a demon spirit of a similar level on the battlefield, then the family also allows him to make up for it with the number - in fact, this rule is open to many couples.

When the woman's cultivation is higher than that of the man, resulting in the man's inability to hunt the equivalent demon spirits, a large number of low-level demon spirits and monsters can also be swept away on the periphery of the battlefield, in addition, the family rules do not require that they must fight alone, those who have money can pay to find mercenaries, and those who have faces can brush their faces to find friends to help with their fists, in short, the eight immortals cross the sea to show their magical powers, and under normal circumstances, they will not really beat mandarin ducks.

However, there are exceptions.

Zhao Jincheng walked into the battlefield surrounded by his entourage, and at the same time remembered the story he heard in the inner city of Shencheng.

Although this family rule of the Shen family will not get in the way in most cases, if the gap between the cultivation of the two parties in love is too large, it may still cause a tragedy. More than two hundred years ago, a scholar from a mortal background fell in love with an eldest lady of the Shen family, the little princess of the Shen family was extremely talented, she broke through to the Cloud Turning Realm at the age of 23, and reached the Rain Realm at the age of 35, which was only inferior to the top genius. When I fell in love with that scholar, I just broke through the rain realm, and I had the power to destroy the city and destroy the state with my hands and feet. In addition to being intelligent by nature and gentle and responsible, the scholar really has no talent in the way of force, and he is really powerless. In addition, he was born in poverty, and when he fell in love with the princess of the Shen family, he really had no money, and he had no money to find a mercenary - in fact, there were not many mercenaries who could just cover the rain realm monks in the entire continent, and he had no connections to meet any friends of the immortal family. In desperation, he had to support himself, although the scholar was frail, his brain was bright, he had a wide range of hobbies after reading, he knew one or two hand techniques, he could make a simple wooden ox and a horse, and he could barely use it to bully the poorest earth dog-like magic spirit.

Such a love combination is simply doomed to tragedy, but in the face of unshakable family rules, the scholar chose to forge ahead, using his profound arithmetic skills to break down the situation he was going to face, and found a possible path in the impossible.

A level comparable to that of a demon or monster in the Rain-Covered Realm is extremely rare even on the Chaos Battlefield, and if it is broken down to a level that the scholar himself can hunt, according to the Shen family's algorithm, it is estimated that millions of the inferior demon spirits will be hunted. And millions of demon elfs, not to mention that the demon elves on the chaotic battlefield are always strong and weak, even if there are only the weakest demon elves, how many demon elves can he hunt in a day with the simplest wooden oxen and flowing horses? No matter how weak the demon spirit is, the wooden ox and flowing horse always need energy power and daily maintenance.

According to calculations, in the most ideal situation, the scholar could only hunt a dozen or twenty demon spirits a day, and a million demon spirits would take hundreds of years. It is difficult for even an immortal cultivator to live to that age, not to mention that scholars are only mortals.

But the scholar was not discouraged at all, in his calculations, the situation was not so pessimistic, although now he could only hunt a dozen or twenty demon spirits a day, but his mechanism skills can be refined, with the accumulation of experience, he can create more powerful puppets, and the hunting efficiency will continue to improve. And according to his learning curve, as well as the resource accumulation curve of the Chaos Battlefield, the most optimistic expectation is that in just 5 years, he will be able to hunt enough goblins and save enough points to marry the woman he loves. Of course, considering that the sweetheart has excellent cultivation qualifications, he must have improved again in the past 5 years, so the actual time should be 7 to 8 years.

Seven to eight years is too long for most couples, but the scholar firmly believes that he and his sweetheart can stand the test of time, so he painstakingly delves into the art of organs, and even gives up the road of the imperial examination that he once insisted on all his life, from a respected scholar to a much-talked about craftsman.

In the next five years, he really advanced by leaps and bounds, even faster than expected, relying on the mortal body to create many powerful magic weapons, obviously unable to invoke the heaven and earth spirit wind, but with exquisite calculations, and strong theoretical attainments, he designed a puppet that mortals can also dispel. In the past few years, he has hunted thousands of demon spirits in the mountains south of the city, from the most inferior earth dogs to the powerful mutant monsters, all of whom cannot escape his hunt. And by the fifth year, his hunting points were completely enough to marry his sweetheart.

However, when the scholar's sweetheart went to the Chaos Battlefield to find him with great joy, he said this.

"Ah, it's you, I'm sorry I almost forgot...... You talk about getting married? Haha, I didn't think you were still waiting, I really didn't want to go...... But honestly, forget it. Over the years, I have studied the mechanism technique in the Chaos Battlefield, and I only feel that this way is exquisite, and the mystery is as vast as a sea of smoke, even if I spend my whole life it is elusive and thorough, life is short, my time is so precious, I really should not waste it on the personal affairs of my children. You have such good conditions, or find a good family to marry as soon as possible, don't delay me...... Oh no, don't waste time on me. ”

After listening to that story, Zhao Jincheng simply admired the scholar and threw himself to the ground.

A person's life is a life of searching for true love, but most people will be confused by some illusions in front of them, and regard a momentary passion as true love, leading to making wrong decisions and regretting them for life. Being able to resolutely let go of the past at a critical juncture in life and cling to true love is really admirable.

Although the end was a concussion by the angry princess of the Shen family, after waking up, he forgot his memories for a few years and spent the rest of his life happily with the princess...... But at least the record of his struggle has been passed down along with the wild history.

And I want to learn this spirit.

In the past 30 years, Zhao Jincheng thought that his ideal object should be a woman with a sister who is five or six points high, like a heavenly immortal - of course, such a woman is not worthy of ordinary men, so he has been working hard to move forward.

However, the moment Zhao Jincheng saw Shen Qingming, he knew that his past self was completely walking on the wrong path.

The pretty girl who is almost 15 years old, but is still petite and delicate, is her true love!

And in order to chase true love, he can do whatever it takes.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jincheng's expression was slightly cold, and he said to the guide dog accompanying him: "Are all the things you want to prepare ready?" ”

Beside him, a middle-aged man with a hoarse voice nodded: "Childe, please rest assured, the brothers are ready." ”

Zhao Jincheng was still not at ease: "There may be a vicious battle, let's check it again." ”

The middle-aged man first nodded yes, explained to the person behind him, and then frowned and asked, "Dare to ask Gongzi, why is there a fierce battle today?" ”

The purpose of Zhao Jincheng's trip to the south of the city, of course, these subordinates also know, to hunt demon spirits according to the Shen family's family rules, but Shen Qingming's cultivation is not at the peak of the Fengqi Realm, and it can only be regarded as the first level of the Yunyong Realm. With Zhao Jincheng's strength, he could kill dozens of them at will, so why be so serious? Even if there is a risk, the only risk is that Zhao Jincheng loses the direction of his life in the mountains......

"Our enemies may not just be goblins." Zhao Jincheng said lightly.

Zhao Jincheng's tone was indifferent, but the face of the man next to him changed: "That ......"

Zhao Jincheng saw him react like this, and immediately laughed, "Don't worry, it's not a great opponent, it's not worth wasting time for...... What's more, this kind of thing, the stronger the enemy, the more interesting it is, only the true love won after defeating the strong enemy is true love, otherwise the so-called true love is no different from Mr. Horn. ”

"Eldest Prince, forgive me for talking too much, but the city lord has some words, you really don't need to take them too seriously."

Zhao Jincheng's face suddenly changed, and a square face scanned left and right like a phased array magnetic detection mirror, and then stretched out his hand back to stop his subordinates: "Be careful, there may be an ambush." ”

At the same time, on the top of a barren mountain a hundred miles away, the spirit of the Heavenly Divine Sword nodded slightly.

"Sure enough, it was discovered, inform them to prepare to induce."

Beside him, Li Wanqing, Li Chaolu, and Li Xinyu all nodded solemnly in response, and each took out his blade.

In today's battle, they have received great support from the two deputy city lords, but the core key Zhao Jincheng must be done by themselves. Shen Jinghai and Shen Yueying have done enough against the true yuan.

However, in the face of a heavily armed Rain-Covered Realm cultivator, how far a few of them could go was really worrying, even Li Wanqing, who was usually the most lawless, was still holding her mind at this time, not daring to be sloppy.

Whether or not Shen Qingming can be rescued depends on this battle!
