Chapter 12: The Fog Is Silent

Xu Hao bought some more household goods, and then left Lu Xiaoqin fifty taels of silver tickets, and told her that he would come back in a few days, and that he could go to the Zhenling Division to find him if he had something, and then drove his horse to the outside of the city.

At the station of the Zhenling Division, Xu Hao showed the token and entered it smoothly, passing by a horse shed on the way, and he placed the red horse in it.

It was getting late, and there were many pavilions and palaces around it, but there were not many colleagues on the way to the Zhenling Division, passing by a pavilion, three floors, with scripture pavilions written on it.

He heard Guan He say that this place is the database of the Zhenling Division, and the yellow-level envoy can only enter the first floor, Xu Hao is worried that there is no place to go, so he immediately goes, and there is a groove in the stone tablet at the door, engraved with a line of words: The person who enters shows the Zhenling card.

The token was embedded in it, the stone tablet shimmered, and then the door of the building creaked open, the white light inside was bright, and the rows of pearls illuminated every corner, Xu Hao looked around, and there were several figures who bowed their heads and stopped, holding the scroll and thinking about it, very quiet.

Rows of huge ancient wooden bookcases, labeled and classified, Xu Hao walked by, ten lines at a glance, sifting through useful information, he still lacked knowledge of cultivation.

A blue-skinned scripture, "Fengchu Geography and Cultivation System" caught his attention, the spiritual power operated, and with a flick of his fingers, the scroll slowly fell into his hand, and Xu Hao immediately flipped through it.

Seeing it fascinatingly, two hours passed, Xu Hao closed the scroll, exhaled a breath of turbidity, only to see his expression flickering, this trip has gained a lot, he has a deep understanding of the layout of Fengchu and the cultivation system.

Fengchu Capital is a well-deserved first city, with Chengtian Academy in charge, and then there are three regions and eighteen continents, Jiangning Prefecture is one of them, and the Chengji County where it is located is also slightly recorded, and it is quite comprehensive in general.

The cultivation system is more mysterious and colorful, it turns out that there are several types of monks in the world, those who enter the body are spiritualists, those who cultivate qi and cultivate themselves are Confucianists, and those who forge and break strength are martial artists, which are three categories.

Among them, the spiritual cultivation is the largest, and it contains many factions, especially the Fu Master, the Gu Master, the Heavenly Mandate Master, and so on.

All in all, all monks who first induce qi and psychic and then choose the direction of practice are mostly called spirituality, but there are exceptions.

Confucianism believes that the human body itself is the existence of the yin and yang of heaven and earth, reading, self-cultivation, enlightenment, and cultivating Haoran righteousness is the road of light, governing the country, mostly Confucianism, so Confucianism has a very high status in Fengchu.

And most of the martial cultivators are talented, and they also use the spirit into the body as immortals, but they then major in the physical body, forging the physique, and walked out of a completely different path, becoming a special case, and most of them are soldiers.

Xu Hao was quite emotional, he didn't expect that there were so many categories of cultivation, and he should be regarded as an ordinary spiritual cultivation now.

The most surprising thing is the introduction of Tianshu, which is specially recorded in the scriptures, saying that the secret energy of Tianshu is extremely mysterious, and it is all top secret, and there are six kinds of Tianshu in the world today, namely: Xuanjia, Fengpo, Phantom Dust, Yuanjing, Zhaotong, and Changqing.

Spirituality is endowed with extraordinary defense, attack, speed, awareness, perception, and recovery.

These six Tianshu cultivation methods are publicly visible, which has greatly improved the strength of Fengchu monks, but there are still many hidden Tianshu cultivation methods that are blocked, and they are strictly controlled by the ancient family and sects, and will not be spread to the outside world.

In the outside world, there are not many cultivators who have disclosed the six types of Heavenly Pivots.

Just as Xu Hao was thinking, a sharp and high-pitched cry sounded, resounding throughout the Town Spirit Division.

Xu Hao was startled, only to see the token on his body vibrating and flickering, and the monks in the pavilion looked solemn, stopped watching, and walked out quickly.

This is an emergency set-up, with a mission to travel.

Xu Hao stepped forward, and with the flow of people to the open space in the front yard to gather, in an instant, more than 100 people were assembled, Pei Cheng had already stood quietly in front of him, and when he saw that everyone had arrived, he said solemnly:

"After receiving the order, Wenxian County was invaded by mysterious forces, and the local government and the Zhenling Division suffered heavy losses, this time I and Du Si led the team to support, the situation is urgent, and we can't wait for a long time, the personnel of the second team of Chiqing on the scene will go with me, and the rest of the people will wait for the order."

After saying that, dozens of people reloaded out of the ranks, Pei Cheng glanced at the moonlight and said: "Gather in place after thirty breaths, and those who overtime will bear the consequences!"

Guan He appeared out of nowhere, pulled Xu Hao, and said, "Hurry up, you are a member of the youth team, follow me to pick a horse."

The group came to a shanty in a quick and orderly manner, many horses stood upright, heroic and extraordinary, many people called, and there were horses out of the shed, obviously familiar with each other.

Guan He also summoned his own war horse and instructed, you pick a docile horse yourself, and we will go on the road first.

Xu Hao saw that his red wildebeest had already raised his front hooves and was eager to try.

Seeing this, he summoned him and asked, "Brother Guan, this is the horse I bought in the city, it is slightly different, it is not a bad rule."

Guan He looked at the red wildebeest horse and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, this horse is extraordinary, but it looks a little like a donkey, but it's okay, let's go on the road first."

The red horse on the side snorted, his pupils widened angrily, shook his head and hooves, and roared to express his dissatisfaction.

Xu Hao raised his eyebrows and feigned anger, and said: "This horse is my heavy income, it is not easy to tame, and my horse is very tight."

The red wildebeest raised his head when he heard this, and his snort rushed.

Ordinary horses are at least fifty taels of silver or more, and even a hundred taels of slightly better ones, and he personally tames this horse, and he knows that its strength is extraordinary, and he is very satisfied.

Guan He saw that the red wildebeest was not convinced by him, and felt interesting, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you are the best."

Seeing Guan He sneering, Xu Hao didn't let go of his heart, so it's okay, the husband is not guilty, and it is not a good thing to be too outstanding.

Immediately with Guan He to the gathering on horseback, everyone was ready to go, Xu Hao's heart was beating, at this time he had changed out of his cloth clothes, wearing a Xuanjia uniform, a long sword and a waist, heroic posture.

"Let's go!"

With Pei Cheng's order, a team of fifty people set off.

Horses step on the mud, and the sound shocks birds and beasts.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, everyone galloped all the way, had already come out of the Chengji, continued to hurry along the official road, when the day was about to dawn, everyone replenished the water source on a river beach, and the horses bowed their heads to drink.

Pei Cheng ordered them to rest for half an hour, Xu Hao looked at everyone, listening to their accents, they were all Chengji, so he asked, "Brother Guan, how long have you been in the Zhenling Division?"

Guan He raised the kettle, took a sip of water, and said: "It's been a year, and the headquarters of this Lingsi in Beizhen is in Jingzhou City, and there are branches in various places, most of which recruit young talents locally, and many of them are introduced by the children of the family."

"I heard that the Zhenling Division does not accept the children of the family sect, is my news wrong?"

Xu Hao was stunned when he heard the second half of the sentence, which was inconsistent with what Zhang Daoning told him.

Guan He looked at the gurgling stream and said with a smile:

"Brother Xu, the rules are like this, but when you get to the place, the monks in the world, the family sect occupies sixty percent, and the imperial court occupies thirty percent, if the Zhenling Division does not accept the children of the family sect, there will be no one available."

He also explained: "To be precise, it is the core children of the sect family who do not accept it, these people are all Tianjiao, with strong backgrounds, and they can quickly climb to the top when they enter the Zhenling Division, and the imperial court is afraid that their rights will be eroded, so they formulate such rules."

Xu Hao suddenly realized, it turned out that Brother Daoning was the core disciple of the Zhang family, and now he understood.

Looking at the group, they are all about the same age as him, but most of the realms are in the entrance realm, and there are very few like him, and it seems that as Guan He said, they are all children of local families.

But Xu Hao doesn't feel that he is inferior to others, the realm is just a division standard, and the entrance realm is not necessarily stronger than the void valley realm.

Just as the crowd was about to hurry, a fog arose inexplicably around them, sweeping towards them, accompanied by mysterious sounds, whining, and disturbing, and the horses were frightened and neighed anxiously.

"What's going on?!"

Guan He's expression changed, now it is summer, the sky is dawning, and the front is still clear and visible, why is it suddenly foggy, and quickly gathered from all around, shrouded, with a tendency to encircle.

Zhenling Sima Pi is an excellent horse, and after careful selection, he will definitely not be frightened at will.

Seeing this, Xu Hao's consciousness suddenly emanated, but he didn't perceive anything for a while, he looked at the panicked horses and the fog that was still gathering, and secretly said that someone was in ambush.

"Alert!"

Pei Cheng's eyes were cold, and his aura suddenly appeared, and he punched out, dispelling a cloud of mist, but soon it surged up again, getting thicker and thicker.

Let them lose their vision, and shouts in the fog come and go, and no one can see anyone.

Xu Hao frowned, it was obvious that this was not an accident, the team encountered an ambush, and then he urged Yuan Jingtianshu, his divine sense was frantically dispersed, his eyes flashed, and he regained his vision.

Guan He on the side closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, he obviously noticed that the fog was abnormal, which would affect people's minds, so he wanted to resist the influence and calm down, but the result was unsatisfactory, only to see his face slightly distorted and his breath floating.

The spiritual power in Xu Hao's palm appeared, dispelling some of the mist, Guan He's state was better, but soon the mist filled again.

"That's not the way to go, you have to find the root cause and then pull it out."

Xu Hao frowned when he saw this, and his divine sense swept away.

I saw that in the fog, the faces of the spirit envoys were frightened, and they danced their limbs wildly, and some even fought with each other, as if they had fallen into an evil spirit.

Only Pei Cheng was holding a long sword, his breath was calm, and his sharp eyes were staring ahead.

Following Pei Cheng's gaze, Xu Hao faintly saw through the fog that there was a black-clothed figure standing at the end of the fog, his arm waved, his aura was free, and runes were depicted in the air.

Just like Faber at the beginning, but the other party's methods are obviously much more clever, and the runes are not twisted and twisted, but neat and magnificent, and the golden light is shining.

This person is a talisman master!

"Fu Gong Master is divided into nine grades, I don't know how many grades this person is?"

Xu Hao thought about the way to crack it in his heart, and a voice came from his ears: "Don't act rashly, the other party is prepared, it is a seven-grade talisman master, far from being able to deal with it!"

Looking at Pei Cheng, Xu Hao's heart was awe-inspiring, the seven-grade rune master was equivalent to the Lingqiao realm, the means were mysterious and unpredictable, and ordinary Lingqiao monks were far from being opponents.

If you want to defeat the opponent, you must be close and give a fatal blow, although the means of the Fu Master are unpredictable, but the general force is low, and they are not good at close combat.

"Grab his attention and don't be afraid."

Pei Cheng's calm voice came again.

Xu Hao's face was calm, staring at the man with his fingers dancing in the distance, and Yuan Jing's divine sense burst out with all his might.

He could perceive the power of the runes, using the fog as the medium, floating in this piece of heaven and earth, and it was clearly visible with one stroke.

The way to crack it may be in it.

Xu Hao's expression flickered, and the spiritual power of his palm gathered, no longer playing indiscriminately like before, but picking the weak point of the rune light, and every time he scattered a rune, the man in black had to make up for it.

He did his best, smashing several white runes in one fell swoop, and the man in black snorted, and when he looked at it, he found Xu Hao, and was about to draw a talisman to punish this unknown saboteur.

Suddenly, a figure struck like lightning, the man looked frightened, and immediately turned his head in a different place, and the fog dispersed in an instant, and there was only a sword light here.

Xu Hao didn't see when Pei Cheng made a move, but he felt that in an instant, the battle was over, and he was so frightened that he was horrified, and there was more admiration and yearning in his eyes.

One day, he will be so strong too!

Everyone gradually sobered up, I don't know why, they felt the hot pain on their bodies, looked at each other, their hearts were awe-inspiring, and they didn't know that they were all done by their companions, and their hearts should have experienced a vicious fight just now.

"Ready to hit the road."

Pei Cheng groped for the dead man, and then returned to the team, passing Xu Hao, his face did not change, and said, "Good job."

The young man smiled shyly, said in his heart that this is all right, and asked, "Dare to ask Envoy Pei, where does that person come from?"

glanced at Xu Hao, when Qi Tuotu asked, he said casually, he never thought that the other party really had some instincts, it seemed that he had divine sense, and he was a good seedling.

Pei Cheng paused, thinking of the relics on the person just now, his face was heavy, and he said:

"It's our enemy on this trip, the red moon and purple veins, good at the art of talisman sacrifice, half of Wenxian has fallen, and the lives are devastated, our trip is quite stressful, everything must be careful, I can't protect everyone."

His voice reached everyone's ears.

Everyone's hearts are awe-inspiring, but no one is afraid, good son, let you drive out evil and eliminate all difficulties!

What no one knew was that in the hidden corner, there were two figures, one black and one white, looming, watching everyone, and no one noticed.
