Chapter 16: Xuanjin is hopeful
The guard, known as Li Lu, walked up to the man surnamed Liu and handed out a jade bottle. The man surnamed Liu took the jade bottle, handed it to Jing Chao, and said with a smile: "A small gift, not a tribute, I will be tired of Jing Shangxiu along the way." "The jade bottle obviously contained some high-quality elixir.
Jing Chao pushed the jade bottle away, "I'm really sorry, my clan has rules, and the task is not completed, so I can't accept gifts, and I ask Boss Liu to take things back." ”
The man surnamed Liu smiled stupidly, "Then go to Weishui City and send it to Jing Shangxiu." Then, the man surnamed Liu asked Li Lu to take back the jade bottle and said, "Jing Shangxiu, then let's leave now." ”
Jing Chao turned to look at the people of the Drifting Cloud Sect, and said solemnly: "Escort four carts of divine soldiers, worth about 20,000 gold coins, the starting point - Drifting Cloud Sect, the end point - Weishui City, the journey is eight thousand miles. Now, the mission begins!"
The two columns immediately separated, guarding the sides of the caravan, and three of them took the lead directly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
This is the escort strategy of the Drifting Cloud Sect to hold the security department. When performing escort missions, a team will be sent to take the first step, responsible for both pathfinding and food for the whole team. For the sake of absolute safety, the people of the Drifting Cloud Sect will not eat and drink some things at will, even if they are given by their employers.
Ye Tianxun found out in a daze, and he was still stunned in place. Jing Chao looked at Ye Tianxun and said, "You are at the end of the caravan." ”
"Yes!" said Ye Tianxun.
The man surnamed Liu walked slowly into the third carriage, and Jing Chao stood at the front of the caravan.
"Let's go. The man surnamed Liu spat out a sentence in a deep voice in the carriage, and the entire caravan moved forward mightily. The men surnamed Liu were basically driving the carriages or staying on top of the carriages, while the people of the Drifting Cloud Sect were running all the way.
The caravan was advancing at a speed of about ten meters per second. The people of the Drifting Cloud Sect who participated in this escort mission, except for Ye Tianxun, the rest were at least fourth-level cultivators, and they had long been accustomed to running all day and night.
The limit speed of Ye Tianxun reached one breath and twenty zhang, which was no less than that of an ordinary fourth-level cultivator, and the speed of rushing at this time was equivalent to jogging, so it could be maintained for a long time.
The man surnamed Liu opened the curtain and said to Li Lu outside: "Li Lu, come in and give me a beating on the back." ”
"Yes. After Li Lu handed the reins in his hand to the person next to him, he turned around and entered the carriage.
After Li Lu entered the carriage, the serious expression of the man surnamed Liu was immediately replaced by a smile, with a hint of respect.
Li Lu took off his hat and suddenly hung down the green silk like a waterfall.
"Miss, thank you for your hard work. The man surnamed Liu got up and vacated his place......
At noon, the caravan began to rest
Ye Tianxun ate the food sent by the advance team, and thought in his heart: "From here to Weishui City, most of them are flat avenues, and only the Hengduan Mountain Range is a dangerous place. The Hengduan Mountains spread for 1,500 miles, and there were not many powerful beasts, but it was a place where they could easily set up ambushes. ”
"If someone is eyeing these divine soldiers, they should be able to do something in the Hengduan Mountain Range. ”
Thinking of this, Ye Tianxun suddenly felt a little funny. "This is not something I should consider, with Jing Shangxiu here, there is no danger at all in this mission. ”
Ye Tianxun opened the book that Jing Chao gave him, "This world is called the earthly world, and there is another world beyond the earthly world - the outer heavens. The earthly world is divided into many realms, and the realm where I live is called the Divine Realm. ”
"Every realm will have a realm lord guarding it. The Realm Lord, from the Outer Heavens, has unfathomable strength, and has even surpassed the highest cultivation allowed by the earthly world. Seeing this, Ye Tianxun was a little puzzled. "Is it possible that a cultivator can't be too strong in the mortal world?"
Ye Tianxun continued to look at it, "There are countless sects and families in each realm, some large sects or families and even branches of some forces in the outer heavens. ”
Ye Tianxun groaned inwardly: "Maybe my Floating Cloud Sect is a branch of a certain sect outside the sky." Thinking of this, he suddenly had an infinite longing for the outer heavens.
It can be said that the outer heavens are another world, a world countless times larger than the earthly world. There, the Venerable Master is the bottom being. A person in the earthly world is no matter how talented he is, and if he cultivates to a certain level, he will not be able to improve again, while in the outer heavens, the potential of a person will be infinitely magnified.
However, due to the existence of a barrier between the earthly world and the extraterrestrial heavens, there are generally only two ways for earthly people to enter the extraterrestrial heavens. The first is to reach the limit allowed by the earthly realm, and the second is to be guided by the people of the outer heavens. The price of receiving is extremely high, and even the great forces of the outer heavens are difficult to receive at will. Therefore, people outside the sky will only attract some extremely talented people, and ordinary geniuses will not be in sight.
"Outside the sky, can I enter?" Ye Tianxun felt that he had overfantasized, and immediately shook his head, laughing at himself in his heart: "It's better to work hard to become a fourth-level cultivator first, Qi'er's illness still needs me." ”
The caravan was about to depart, and Ye Tianxun closed the book, packed his things, and prepared to leave. At this time, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Li Lu being called into the canopy by a man surnamed Liu.
"It always feels like they're hiding something. Ye Tianxun's gaze focused on the carriage of the man surnamed Liu, "Do you want to tell Jing Shangxiu?"
After thinking for a while, Ye Tianxun finally gave up this plan, after all, their task is only to escort the goods, and it is better not to take care of the things involving the employer.
In the middle of a jungle, three tents were built. At this moment, a dark shadow flashed into the tent in the center.
In the tent, a burly middle-aged man sat on a wooden chair, and this person had a two-inch-long scar on his face, which looked particularly hideous.
A man in black knelt down on one knee and said, "The target has set off, and it is expected to pass through this place in seven days, but it is ......"
"But what?" asked the Scar Man.
The black-clothed man said: "Under the pretext of goods, they invited people from the Drifting Cloud Sect to escort them along the road, although they were basically fourth- and fifth-level cultivators, but there was a seventh-level cultivator to lead the team. ”
"Seventh-level cultivator?" the scarred man's face suddenly changed, "Are you sure?"
"It's true. "Humanity in black.
The man with the scar fell silent, his index finger tapping on the armrest of the chair, and after a moment, a cold smile appeared on his face. "They're smart, with people from the Drifting Cloud Sect here, it's really hard for us to do it. However, how could the people of the Wandering Cloud Sect be used as swords by them, but the plan still needs to be changed. ”
"You continue to send people to keep an eye on their movements, and if there is anything unusual, report it immediately. ”
"Yes!" the man in black flashed away.
At night, the caravan rested again.
Ye Tian Xun sat on a boulder, hesitating whether to enter the dream or not. Now that he is in the mission period, entering the dream realm can be regarded as leaving his post without permission, but the day of the clan Dabi is getting closer and closer, and whether he can participate or not depends on when he becomes a fourth-level cultivator.
"Maybe one day this particular dream will disappear, and I have to cherish every night. ”
"With Jing Shangxiu here, I can't help. Thinking of this, Ye Tianxun finally strengthened his determination to enter the dream realm.
However, this time Ye Tianxun entered not a cave, but a stone secret room, in which there was only a brown wooden stake, about the thickness of a bucket, about a zhang high.
"What kind of experience is this?" Ye Tian wondered, and at the same time, he suddenly found that he was in the dream secret room, and he still had a sense of the outside world. The campfires, tents, carriages, and people from the outside world were all in his field of vision, and even some small sounds could be heard.
"This dream is very curious, it seems to change according to my needs, and now, I don't have to feel guilty about leaving my post without permission. Ye Tianxun thought like this, and his expression suddenly shocked, "Wait, it will change according to my needs, and what I need most now is to become a fourth-level cultivator!"
Ye Tianxun's eyes lit up, "This will definitely help me comprehend Xuanjin." Suddenly, a vague scene suddenly appeared in front of Ye Tianxun's eyes: a white shadow stood next to a wooden stake, and the white shadow punched the wooden stake. Soon, the scene disappears, as if hallucinating.
"It seems that this stake is helpful for comprehending Xuanjin. Ye Tianxun was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately followed the white shadow's movements and drove towards the stake.
"Walking through the clouds. Ye Tianxun's whole body muscles tensed into one, and the whole person seemed to teleport in a straight line, like a mountain fist with a gust of wind, and hit the wooden stake with a "bang".
However, the stake did not burst directly as Ye Tianxun thought, but rebounded with a greater force. "Bang!", Ye Tianxun was directly bounced away by the elastic force and hit the stone wall behind him.
"How come?" Ye Tianxun stood up again.
"It's a big rebound. Ye Tianxun secretly exclaimed. At this time, the white shadow from before appeared in front of his eyes, and the white shadow punched the stake, and the stake only trembled slightly.
"Strange, why is there no rebound power?" The rebound power just now left a great impression on Ye Tianxun.
At this time, a flash of inspiration flashed in Ye Tianxun's mind, "Xuanjin!"
"That's right, it's definitely because of Xuan Jin!" Ye Tianxun became excited, Xuan Jin is equivalent to dark energy, and it is a stronger force that erupts again at the moment when the cultivator hits his normal strength.
"It should be the Xuan Jin that offsets the rebound. Ye Tianxun felt like he had figured it all out.
"But how does this help me realize the Xuan Jin?" Ye Tianxun thought again, "This stake is at most a test of whether I can use the Xuan Jin. ”
"Something must be wrong. Ye Tianxun's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, "The rebound force and Xuan Jin cancel out, huh? Xuan Jin won't cause a secondary rebound? Why is the rebound force much greater than my normal strength?"
Ye Tianxun seemed to have grasped something in his mind, and suddenly punched the stake again. "Bang", followed by "bang". Ye Tianxun was bounced off again and slammed into the stone wall.
"I see, I see!" Ye Tianxun ignored the pain in his body, his face was happy, "This is the way I feel the rebound force." ”
"The force of the rebound force should be the same as that of the Xuan Jin, as long as I can feel the force of the rebound force clearly, the realization of the Xuan Jin is just around the corner. ”
