Volume III, Chapter 119

Chen Fan thought about it, in addition to the ore needed to build a divine soldier, the rest was not enough to fight another long sword, and he didn't know if he could find another Tianxing Stone Raw Ore in the future, and it was useless to stay for himself, so sell it to him.

Thinking of this, Chen Fan nodded and agreed: "Okay, after building the Divine Soldier Long Sword, if there is any surplus, I will sell it to you." ”

Xu Shi was overjoyed and said continuously: "Okay, good, the price is ......."

"I don't understand this, you can just look at it. I'm sure you won't lie to me. ”

"Good. Seeing Chen Fan so refreshing, Xu Shi was also very happy.

"Well, if nothing happens, I'm going to be out of company, I still have some things to do. Chen Fan stood up.

"Okay, you can take these pair of magic fist gloves first. Xu Shi handed over the gloves.

"You're not afraid that I'll regret it. Chen Fan was a little surprised.

"Haha! I asked myself, I can't be wrong, you're not such a person, since you can trust me and let me make an offer, why can't I trust you?"

Chen Fan nodded, did not speak, took the gloves and turned around and left.

Back in the room, Chen Fan first summoned the four water elements one by one, such as the water fence, the water vulture, the water poem, and the water master, and then summoned ten cobra guards, and after issuing an order, let them avoid the eyes and ears of the Zhao family, leave the Zhao family's station to carry out the order, and everyone took the order.

It wasn't until it was confirmed that the three of them had left in concealment that Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief, the first step of the plan was very smooth, and it depended on whether the second step went smoothly.

Just as he was about to continue cultivating, he suddenly saw the Divine Weapon Fist still in his hand, and he couldn't help but put it on his hand, and then input the "Divine Qi", and the faint golden light lit up again. Chen Fan raised his hands and put them in front of his eyes, carefully feeling the changes in the gloves.

It's still the same, the strength of the boxing gloves has only increased much, only about five percent, for Chen Fan now. It can only be said that it is better than nothing, shook his head, and was about to stop entering the "Divine Qi", when Chen Fan suddenly discovered a very strange phenomenon, that is, these fists were slowly absorbing the "Divine Qi".

This strange phenomenon greatly increased Chen Fan's interest in the Divine Soldier Fist. Chen Fan immediately felt the situation of the Divine Soldier Fist.

Chen Fan found that when the Divine Soldier Fist entered the "Divine Qi" by himself, he would first absorb all the "Divine Qi", and then release it after it was amplified. And in this process, the Divine Soldier Fist will intercept a tiny small part of the "Divine Qi". Then the absorption became a part of himself, and with the continuous absorption of the "Divine Qi", the light emitted by the Divine Soldier Fist became stronger and stronger, although this strengthening was not obvious, and it was not visible to the naked eye at all, but Chen Fan, who was very sensitive to changes in energy, still found out.

Chen Fan decided to be very strange, I don't know if this phenomenon is the same for all divine soldiers, after Chen Fan's careful induction. finally discovered that not the entire Divine Soldier Fist was absorbing the "Divine Qi". Rather, some of them are absorbed, some are not, and where they are absorbed, there are also strong and weak.

These places that absorb the "divine qi" form small dots, which are relatively evenly distributed on the surface and inside of the gloves.

Chen Fan tried to convey the "Divine Qi" to those small dots, and the absorption speed of the "Divine Qi" by those small dots immediately accelerated.

Chen Fan slowly surrounded all these small dots with his "Divine Qi". Then compress these "divine qi", as if to force the "divine qi" into these small dots.

I don't know how long it took, but the dots didn't change anything except for the speed of absorption.

Chen Fan had no choice but to stop and try the power of the gloves again. However, he found that after the action he had just made, the power of the fist gloves had actually increased, although it had not risen much, but it had only increased from the original five percent to the current six percent, but this change was very gratifying, because this meant that Chen Fan could continue to use the "Divine Qi" to increase the power of the Divine Soldier Fist in the future.

Originally, Chen Fan already felt very strange that his "Divine Qi" could be recognized by the Divine Soldier Fist, because what he cultivated was not internal strength, and it should have no effect on the Divine Soldier, and the "Beast Soul Power" was not accepted by the Divine Soldier is an obvious example. However, he didn't expect that his "Divine Qi" was not only recognized by the divine soldiers, but also could improve his power in a short period of time, Chen Fan felt that this was definitely not a normal phenomenon, there must be some things in it that he didn't know, but unfortunately he knew too little about this aspect, and he would have to ask Old Man Xu for more advice if he had the opportunity in the future.

After carefully feeling the situation of the vulture again, and seeing that everything was going well, and they were already in place, he couldn't help but smile, and then walked out of the room.

By this time, the sun had already set, and it was getting dark.

Chen Fan went to take a look at the situation of Chen Hong and the three of them again, and found that the three of them were still the same as in the morning, they were all continuing to refine and cultivate, so he didn't bother them.

On the way back to the room, I met someone sent by Zhao Jun, saying that he invited Chen Fan to attend the banquet to receive Miss Long and others tonight, but only Chen Fan was invited, and Chen Hong and they were not invited.

Chen Fan thought about it for a while, and agreed, this face still has to be given to Zhao Jun, and although doing so will have an impact on his actions tonight, if he attends, wouldn't it be more possible to remove suspicion? Anyway, he will not personally participate in tonight's action.

When Chen Fan arrived, the other people attending the banquet had already arrived.

There were not many people who participated in the reception banquet, and they were all people Chen Fan knew.

The representatives of the Zhao family are only Zhao Jun and Zhao Jun, and neither of them is a combat talent, but a managerial talent. Zhao Rong also attended, but it was only because she was Miss Long's best friend and needed her to accompany Miss Long, so she was allowed to attend, and with her current status, she could not attend this kind of scene on behalf of the Zhao family.

Of course, Miss Long is indispensable, and Zhao Jun, who has already learned her true identity from Wei Ying, will never let go of such an opportunity to make friends.

Xu Shi is also here, as the first forging master of the first weapon shop in the Eastern Empire, the "Heavenly Soldier", and one of the few divine weapon foundries in the Eastern Empire who is qualified and capable of forging divine weapons, he is absolutely qualified to attend this banquet, plus he has a wide range of contacts. There are many friends all over the world, many imperial relatives, generals and ministers, are his friends, and his words have a great influence in the capital. If the Zhao family can make friends with him, it will be beneficial for future development. It was very helpful.

Many families in the capital have extended olive branches to him, but unfortunately he has always been obsessed with the forging of weapons, and he has ignored them at all, which has disappointed them, and I am afraid that only Chen Fan can ignore him and be so unkind to him.

The last one is Wei Ying, as the grandson of Wei Guogong, and he is also a general from the fourth grade, and his future is unlimited. Although the title of Duke Wei Guo cannot be inherited by him, even with his own ability, it should not be too difficult to become a general in the future. Being able to have a relationship with him at this time is beneficial to the Zhao family.

At the banquet, Chen Fan didn't speak, even when he talked about himself, he just dealt with two sentences casually, he just quietly watched Zhao Jun and the two talk and laugh with Miss Long and Xu Shi. Tell each other some strange things.

From their conversation, Chen Fan knew. It turned out that Miss Long's maiden name was Long Xin, and she was actually the daughter-in-law of Lin Guodong, the younger brother of the Emperor of the Eastern Empire, but her husband had already passed away and was now widowed at home, so it should be right to call her Mrs. Lin.

Listened for a while. Chen Fan was not interested, and began to focus on the water vultures. Because, the plan is about to begin.

Octagonal City, the royal family.

Wang De shouted at a middle-aged fat man in front of him: "Father, you must help me avenge this." You help me get that old man and that poor boy, and I'm going to torture them hard. ”

"Shut up! Haven't you caused enough trouble? If it weren't for your Uncle Ma today, would you still be standing here now? You only know what is wrong all day long, can you stay at home and not go out to cause trouble? The middle-aged fat man immediately scolded Wang De, he was Wang Dasheng, the prefect of Yun'an Mansion.

"Nephew Wang Xian, you should stay at home during this time, this is an extraordinary time, and there must be no accidents. Ma Yuan was also persuaded by the side.

"I see. Seeing that his father and Ma Yuan both said this, Wang De could only accept it helplessly, but he was still not angry in his heart, and secretly resented.

Wang De asked a little strangely: "By the way, father, you and Uncle Ma both said that this is an extraordinary time, what happened to you, you have to be so nervous?"

Wang Dasheng and Ma Yuan glanced at each other, and then said: "If I tell you later, you must not leak it out, otherwise even if you are my son, I will never spare you, understand?"

"I understand. Wang De saw Wang Dasheng's serious expression, knew that this matter was not trivial, and hurriedly agreed.

"The messenger is coming, and after checking the things in the secret room, someone should be sent to pick them up in a few days, so we must not let others pay attention to us in the past few days, otherwise if someone else discovers the messenger and misses the messenger's important matter, our royal family will be finished. After speaking, Wang Dasheng glared at Wang De fiercely: "Today's matter, you must not pursue it again, tomorrow I will bring gifts with you to the Zhao family to apologize, stabilize them first, and talk about revenge later, at this time, we must not let the Zhao family notice us." ”

"Yes, the Zhao family has a lot of power in Octagon City, if they pay attention to us, it is likely that they will find out about the envoy, and then we will be in trouble. Nephew Wang Xian, you still listen to your father's words and go to Zhao's house tomorrow to apologize. Well, I'll go too, after all, I'm also involved in today's event. I'm going to apologize too, give them enough face, and they shouldn't pursue it anymore. Ma Yuan patted Wang De's shoulder as a sign of comfort.

"Okay, then I'll grieve Brother Miao Xian. As long as the great thing is done, we can take revenge on today. ”

At this moment, a strange bird call suddenly came from outside.

"The messenger is coming!"

Wang Dasheng was shocked, quickly stood up, walked and opened the door, only to see a man in black standing outside the door, who was short in stature and even wore a mask on his face.

Since Wang Dasheng had already transferred the guards away from the surroundings of this house, he was not afraid of being seen by the man in black.

The man in black walked into the room amid Wang Dasheng's greeting, glanced at Ma Yuan and Wang De, and then said to Wang Dasheng: "You already know the purpose of my visit this time, right? Don't waste time, take me to check it out." ”

"Yes, yes. Messenger, please!" Wang Dasheng agreed, and after speaking, Wang Dasheng spun a few times on a wooden frame next to him, and then he heard a "Gege" sound, and then a hole was revealed in the wall, and there was a lever switch in it. But Wang Dasheng did not move the lever switch, but moved the oil lamp on the wall next to him a few times to hide the switch, and reopened a small hole from the wall next to him, revealing a new lever switch.

Wang Dasheng stepped forward and pulled down the switch, and the desk next to him moved to the side, revealing a step down.

"Please follow me!" Wang Dasheng said respectfully to the messenger, then picked up an oil lamp and walked down first.

The envoys, Ma Yuan, and Wang De also went down one after another.

There are only a few dozen steps. Soon after walking, everyone came to a stone door under the leadership of Wang Dasheng, pressed on a relief on the left wall, restored the desk above, and then twisted one of the reliefs on the right wall, and the stone door slowly opened.

As the stone door opened, a small stone room appeared in front of everyone, and in the middle of the stone room were placed more than a dozen large iron boxes. There are also some weapons, calligraphy and paintings on the wooden shelves next to it.

Wang Dasheng opened an iron box, and the objects inside the iron box were illuminated by an oil lamp. There were bursts of golden light, but it turned out to be a gold ingot.

Chen Fan's eyes moved, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Hey, what are you secretly laughing at?" Zhao Rong, who was sitting next to Chen Fan, had been paying attention to him, and when he saw that he had been silent and expressionless, he suddenly laughed, and couldn't help but secretly pull his clothes. Curiously asked.

Chen Fan glanced at her, shook his head, and did not speak.

"Hmph, what's the big deal, don't say it. Zhao Rong snorted coldly. Turning his head angrily, he ignored Chen Fan.

Chen Fan was happy, smiled slightly, and continued to bow his head and remain silent.

In the stone room, Wang Dasheng had already opened all the iron boxes, and the golden and silver lights reflected each other, dazzling.

There were twelve chests of gold and silver, five of which were gold ingots, and each chest contained a hundred ingots of gold, each of which was ten taels of gold, that is, a thousand taels of gold in each box, and the other seven chests of silver taels, each of which contained a thousand taels of silver.

All combined, there are 57,000 taels of silver here (the ratio of gold to silver is 1:10), it is really hard to imagine that a small prefect could have such a huge fortune.

"There's no problem with gold and silver, but what about that thing?" The black-clothed messenger didn't seem to have any reaction to the amount of gold and silver, but when he said "that thing", his tone became a little excited.

"Here, look. Wang Dasheng noticed the change in the black-clothed messenger, and hurriedly took a small wooden box placed on the shelf next to him and handed it to the black-clothed messenger.

The black-clothed messenger took the wooden box and slowly opened it.

I saw that the bottom of the wooden box was cushioned with satin, and a rectangular object that looked like gold but not gold, and wood but not wood was placed on it.

The surface of the object is cyan, about ten centimeters long, four centimeters wide, and about one centimeter thick, on both sides, there is a very small gap, on the surface, there are some patterns that seem to be naturally formed, and the whole object exudes a simple and mysterious atmosphere.

Next to the object, there is a broken map with some strange lines drawn on it, and some strange text, but judging by the shape and disconnected interface, this map should only be a part of a map, not the whole of it.

"Yes, that's it. Listening to the tone, the black-clothed messenger should be very happy: "I will take this thing first, and someone will come here to transport the rest in three days." ”

"Yes. Wang Dasheng dared to refuse.

The black-clothed emissary glanced at the other things in the stone chamber again, and then said, "Alright, let's go." ”

"Yes. Wang Dasheng answered, and followed the black-clothed messenger out.

Coming to the outside of the stone room, Wang Dasheng first pressed the relief on the right to close the stone door, and then pressed on the original relief on the left, and the desk above automatically moved away, revealing the exit.

The black-clothed messenger smiled slightly, and was about to raise his feet and walk up the steps, when suddenly, a black shadow appeared behind all four of them at the same time, and on the necks of the four people, a hand with sharp nails was also buckled, as long as this hand moved slightly. You can scratch their throats.

The heads of the four were also clasped by a hand at the same time, and the sharp nails had cut through the scalp, as if they were ready to pierce at any time, and a chill came from the cold hands on the head and neck, so that the four did not dare to move the slightest.

"Don't move. Robbery. A hoarse voice came out of the mouth of one of the black shadows, with a cold tone and a murderous aura, which made the four of them believe that if they and the others had the slightest resistance, they would definitely be killed on the spot.

Bastards! How did they get in? When he and the others came in just now, they had already looked around and didn't see anyone coming in, so why did there suddenly appear four more people here?

The four of them were shocked and couldn't figure out why these four black shadows appeared here. It's not a big place. You can see it at a glance, and if four people come in with you and the others, there is no reason why you can't even find the slightest sign.

Staring and staring straight ahead, none of the four dared to make the slightest movement, lest they be mistaken for a killer to resist, they were all waiting for the black shadow's orders, but they waited for a while. The four black shadows didn't move after saying a word, if it weren't for the cold hands on their heads and necks. I thought they were gone.

"What do you want? At least give us an explanation. Wang Dasheng couldn't hold back any longer, so he asked the black shadow.

Since the black-clothed messenger was at the forefront, Wang Dasheng was standing not far behind him, and there was now a black shadow behind the black-clothed messenger, even under the illumination of the oil lamp, the black shadow was looming. It's like an illusory ghost, and in this dimly lit basement, it's terrifying.

It was this black shadow who spoke just now, and now it was him who replied to Wang Dasheng: "Shut up and wait." ”

Hear the words of the dark shadow. Wang Dasheng could only suppress the doubts in his stomach and wait quietly. The other three saw that Wang Dasheng had hit a wall, and knew that it would be in vain for them to say more, if they accidentally angered these black shadows and were killed, it would be even more wronged, so they didn't dare to speak again.

After a while, I only heard a slight sound of footsteps from above, if it weren't for being in such a quiet environment, and everyone was nervous, paying attention to the movement around them, they wouldn't have heard it at all.

The footsteps were getting closer, and soon, a figure appeared at the exit.

Without the slightest hesitation, the figure walked down the steps, followed by one after another...... A dozen people walked down one after another, and the basement was filled up at once.

At the front were four women in black night clothes with black cloth covering their faces, followed by eight men who were also dressed in black and covered with black cloth on their faces.

The four women walked in front of the four people, just one in front of each person, and then stretched out their hands at the same time, and with several invisible energies, the four of them only felt that their bodies were tight, and they were bound by the invisible energy, and they couldn't move.

Only then did the four black shadows let go of the four of them, and then their hands flashed out, and a series of staggered bones sounded, and the joints of the hands and feet of the four people had been staggered, and they were no longer powerless to resist.

"Who are you, and why are you dealing with us?" asked the black-clothed messenger, who was already lying on the ground and still restrained by invisible energy, in a bitter voice.

No one paid attention to him, the black shadow who spoke just now pressed on the relief on the right, opened the stone door, and then waved his hand, and the eight big men immediately walked into the stone room, and soon, six of them each held two iron boxes, and walked out with one on each shoulder, and the other two big men each carried two large cloth bags, which were swollen inside, and they should have put the calligraphy and paintings and other items on the shelves into it.

"Friend, do you know what you are doing? You definitely don't know how big the power behind us is, if you take our things away today, you will definitely be retaliated by us in the future, although the world is big, there will be no place for you. Seeing that several big men were about to leave, the black-clothed messenger was still making his last effort: "If you give up now, I promise, I will treat today's incident as if it never happened, and I will not pursue your today's incident in the future." ”

"What kind of power are you?" said the same dark shadow who had just spoken. As he spoke, the black shadow moved his hand, and the mask on the black-clothed messenger's face had been removed, only under the mask was a thin man about fifty years old, with a grim look in his eyes, staring at the black shadow deadly.

"You don't care what kind of force we are, you just need to know that our power is very strong, and it is definitely not something you can contend with. "The black-clad emissary did not reveal the forces he represented.

"Could it be more powerful than the Cold Palace?"

"Hmph, although the Cold Shelter Palace is powerful, it is ...... compared to us" Speaking of this, the black-clothed messenger suddenly came to his senses and stopped talking.

"What are you? I know you're scaring me. The Black Shadow bent down and picked up the wooden box that was still in the black-clothed messenger's hand, "In that case, I'll take these things." ”

As soon as he saw the wooden box being taken away, the black-clothed messenger's face changed greatly, and he said urgently: "You can't take this away." ”

"Why?"

"You don't care why, you must not take this wooden box, otherwise we will not let you go. ”

"Since I want to take your gold and silver, then you will not let me go if I take this wooden box, so why don't I take it?"

The black-clothed messenger was asked, yes, since taking it is also going to be retaliated, and if you don't take it, you will be retaliated, so why don't you take it?

"Anyway, anyway, you can't take this wooden box. "The black-clothed messenger couldn't find a reason, so he could only play the scoundrel.

"You can tell me what the contents of this wooden box are, and what is the use, or that I will give up this thing after hearing it. The black shadow raised the wooden box in his hand, luring the black-clothed messenger.

"I ...... I do not know. "The black-clothed messenger was not fooled.

"Oh, I'm sure you'll tell. With a wave of his hand, the masked woman who restrained the black-clothed messenger lifted the black-clothed messenger and walked into the stone room, and the black shadow followed him.

A black shadow went over and closed the stone door, while the other two black shadows moved, and their bodies slowly disappeared in front of Wang Dasheng's eyes, and finally disappeared completely.

The three of them were stunned by the unbelievable scene that happened in front of them, and they couldn't believe it, and the two black shadows slowly disappeared in front of them until they were completely invisible.

Ma Yuan believed that what he saw was definitely not the afterimage dissipating because of the body method too fast, but indeed disappeared in front of his eyes.

What kind of martial arts is this? Who are they? How can they have such strange martial arts? I have never heard of such invisible martial arts in the world, no wonder they can follow themselves and others in without being discovered, it turns out that they can be invisible, how can they see people who have become invisible?

This is no longer in the category of martial arts, but should belong to the legendary immortal law. Yes, that's right, this is the same as the legendary immortal method - stealth technique, which can make people hide in front of other people and disappear completely.

But are there immortals in this world?

At least, Ma Yuan has never seen it with his own eyes, nor has he heard of an example of meeting an immortal that has been verified to be true, but if it is not an immortal law, he can't explain the unbelievable phenomenon he just saw, alas, he really can't figure it out. (To be continued......)
