"It's finally back."

The convoy slowly drove into the Medicine King Valley and saw the scenery of the surrounding properties.

Luo Yan breathed a long sigh of relief, and her delicate body almost collapsed on the carriage she was riding.

"This trip is really dangerous, if it weren't for the courage of the Su Heng brothers, I'm afraid it would be difficult for us to return here alive." Luo Chong also said with some fear.

Before departure.

He had already predicted the difficulty of the mission as far as he could, as far as he could.

But Rao is like this, what happened in this mission is still beyond his imagination, even if it is a strong martial artist, when facing that kind of unexpected situation, he will feel powerless.

"The world is getting more and more chaotic these days."

Zhao Ping took his gaze off the musket in his hand and sighed.

"I originally thought that my strength was not weak outside, but I never thought that I would realize my weakness and insignificance when I really encountered a life and death crisis."

Zhao Ping paused slightly, raised his head and continued: "It just so happens that I have earned enough meritorious contributions this time, and for a period of time in the future, I will have to concentrate on cultivation." ”

Luo Yan and Luo Chong did not speak.

But they all bowed slightly, obviously agreeing with Zhao Ping's words.

At this time.

Luo Shuang, who was staying with Luo Yan, turned over and jumped out of the carriage and strode in front of Su Heng.

"Is there anything else you want to explain?"

Su Heng withdrew his gaze from the mountains and rivers in the distance, noticed the little guy in front of him, and asked in a flat tone.

"Thank you very much for your help that night, if it weren't for you, these dart masters on the tour don't know how many casualties will occur." Luo Shuang's face was full of seriousness, but there was sadness and loneliness in her tone.

When departing from the town of Caishen.

The dart master plus the local villagers, there are more than 30 people in total.

By the time of the Medicine King Valley, there were less than twenty people left. These dart masters are almost half dead.

Some were killed by the rampaging black apes in that eerie forest. And some were hacked to death by the mountain bandits in Bailongzhai, and the end was miserable.

However, the dart master is in this line.

That's what it is.

Every time before departure, I am ready to die.

Although Luo Shuang's tone was filled with sadness, he quickly adjusted, waved his fist, and said loudly: "Your strength is very strong!" However, I'm still young! I won't throw in the towel so easily.

Someday, I'll fight you again in the ring! ”

When she said these words, her voice was not small.

The surrounding Luo Yan Zhao and other people, and even some nearby dart masters and passing disciples and businessmen were all attracted to their eyes.

Luo Shuang didn't care about this, just turned around, stepped away with her long legs, and walked away with a black ponytail flicking behind her.

Su Heng was stunned when he heard this.

I couldn't figure out why this girl was so out of the box.

I was thanking myself for helping just now, but the next sentence was to fight with myself?

Could it be that this is the local custom of Caishen Town?

Su Heng couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't think about it anymore.

As the convoy drove into the Medicine King Valley, the Jingshui Building, who was in charge of the matter, quickly sent a disciple steward to begin to check the quantity and quality of the goods.

After these finishing touches were completed, Su Heng would be able to obtain the cultivation books that contributed to the Spring Breeze Formula.

Su Heng stood aside.

Arms around you, looking at the lake scenery in front of you, waiting patiently.

On the other side, Luo Shuang returned to her sister Luo Yan, and the two sat down together in the carriage.

Su Heng's punch that night directly scared Luo Shuang into incontinence. It was the first time she had encountered such an embarrassing and fearful situation since she was a child.

Since then.

Su Heng was in Luo Shuang's heart, and faintly turned into a demon-like existence.

The words just now were also made by Luo Shuang with great difficulty in mustering up the courage to speak loudly to Su Heng.

It's just that...

Luo Shuang was sullen and thinking about what happened on the road.

When he turned around, he saw his cousin Luo Yan, with an expression on his face that wanted to speak and stopped.

"What's the matter with you?" Luo Shuangxiu frowned slightly, and said, "If there is anything you want to say, just say it directly." ”

"How old are you?" Luo Yan asked softly.

"Twenty-four, what's wrong?" Luo Shuang was a little puzzled why her cousin suddenly asked like this, but she still answered subconsciously.

"Then do you know how old that Senior Brother Su Heng is just now?" Luo Yan asked again.

"How could I possibly know that."

Luo Shuang thought for a while, and replied with some uncertainty: "However, in terms of appearance, you must be at least in your thirties, and even if you look older, it is possible to be more than forty years old." ”

Luo Yan shook his head and sighed: "If I'm not mistaken, that junior brother should have just turned sixteen this year. ”

“……”

Luo Shuang's eyes widened, and there was an expression on her face that you were teasing me.

"Although that junior brother does look a little older, this matter has been personally tested by the elders of the valley, and there will be no mistake."

Luo Yan had expected his sister to have such an expression, reached out and patted her knife-like shoulder, and comforted her softly: "You are not as good as him now, and the gap in the future will only get farther and bigger, so it's better to accept the reality as soon as possible." ”

Luo Shuang took a long breath.

Slowly hugging his knees, he buried his head in his thighs, and his body curled up in a ball, like a kitten that has been hit and refuses to accept reality.

But Luo Yan saw his fists clenched, and he understood that his sister had not heard what he had just said.

Thinking of this, Luo Yan suddenly felt tired.

The inventory of the goods lasted for more than an hour.

The villagers in charge of the matter in Caishen Town have been hacked to death by bandits on the road.

Fortunately, Luo Shuang prepared with both hands before leaving. He was carrying relevant paperwork and data records.

Only then did the docking work be successfully completed.

In order to prevent accidents, Su Heng has been watching from the side.

It wasn't until all the formalities were verified that the fat steward in charge of docking came to Su Heng at a trott, bent down and handed him a letter.

Su Heng stretched out his hand to take it, opened it and found that it was the situation of the goods recorded inside, and there was a specially stamped seal underneath.

"Take this letter and go to the Still Water Building, and you can exchange it for the contribution of this mission." The fat steward smiled and said, "I have heard two sentences from the senior brother on this mission, and it is really not easy to be able to complete it successfully, it is really hard for you." ”

Now the environment in Yunzhou has gradually begun to become chaotic.

The state army arrested people indiscriminately, the whereabouts of the blood corpse cult were treacherous, and the influx of a large number of displaced people and victims made people panic.

Under such a premise.

Such a large number of medicinal materials have played an increasingly important role.

"Understood."

Su Heng turned around and explained a few words to Luo Chong and the others, and then walked straight towards the still water building.

It was late, and there were not many people in the still water building.

Su Heng came to the window.

Inside the wooden window, a round-faced female disciple who looked to be in her twenties was lying on the table, holding her head with her hands, dozing off little by little.

The transparent and viscous saliva pulled the silver and white threads, slowly dripping on the table, converging into a small pool, reflecting the red light of the lantern outside.

Bang bang bang!

Su Heng stretched out his hand and gently knocked on the table a few times.

The female disciple woke up suddenly, raised her head, and saw Su Heng with apricot eyes in a daze.

The hazy sleepiness that remained in the brain suddenly swept away like a storm passing through it, turning into panic.

She screamed, "Hell! ”。

He fell backwards with a crackling sound.

Su Heng stood in place, his head full of black lines.

With a gloomy face, she looked at the round-faced female disciple and stretched out her hand to pick it up on the table, revealing her red and swollen head and two thief's slippery eyes.

"I'm sorry, I just had a nightmare."

After figuring out Su Heng's appearance, the round-faced female disciple rubbed her head and sat down at her workstation again.

He explained with a smile.

Su Heng didn't say much.

Just reached out and handed the letter handed to him by the fat steward to the girl in front of him.

The girl in front of her frowned slightly, and began to carefully read the contents of the letter. Then he turned around and took out the relevant files from the cabinet in the back, compared them with each other to make sure they were correct, and then returned to the small room behind him.

About half an hour has passed.

The girl walked out of the small room, holding two wooden signs.

This wooden card is the contribution required by Su Heng to exchange the exercises.

The wooden plaque is somewhat similar to Su Heng's identity token.

On the front there is a description of Su Heng's physiognomy, and on the back is a record of the events that he has contributed.

Depending on the material of the wooden sign, the level of contribution is also different.

In the Valley of the Medicine King.

Contributions can only be used by oneself and cannot be traded with silver taels.

Moreover, the exercises that are exchanged for contributions from the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion can only be practiced by oneself and cannot be taught to others.

The Medicine King Valley is very loosely managed in other places, but in this regard, it is quite strict.

It's not that there are no people in the valley who privately exchange and teach each other the secret techniques of the exercises, but the end is miserable.

Either he will be abolished from martial arts and imprisoned for life.

Either they were directly killed by Elder Tanaka.

It's just that...

Looking at the two contribution tokens in front of him, Su Heng couldn't help but ask: "Is it a mistake, I obviously only completed one task, why do I have two contributions." ”

"There's no mistake."

The round-faced girl stood up, stretched out her hand and pointed to the handwriting on the back of the token, and explained, "Of these two merits, one of them was obtained by you for completing the escort of medicinal herbs. And the other is the merit of sweeping Bailongzhai? ”

"Sweeping the White Dragon Village?" Su Heng was even more surprised.

"That's right."

The round-faced girl said: "That is also a first-class mission, and it was picked up by senior brother Shi Qiuyu alone."

It's just that, according to the description of the senior brother, that night he only killed Xu Bailong, the big boss in the White Dragon Village, and the other two masters died at your hands.

So the contribution to that task was also split into two parts. One is in the hands of the elder brother, and the other is yours. ”

"I see."

Hearing the round-faced girl's words, Su Heng finally understood.

In the Valley of the Medicine King.

The value of the contribution is far greater than that of the silver taels.

Some high-level exercises and pills require contributions to be exchanged.

If you contribute enough, you can even exchange it for one-on-one guidance from the valley owner.

can give half of the contribution delivered to the stranger in this way, and the temperament of this senior brother is far beyond ordinary people.

"You are also very powerful, you have only been in the valley for less than a year, and even Longtan Tiger's Den like Bailongzhai can come and go freely."

The round-faced girl's eyes widened, and she looked at Su Heng with a little admiration in her eyes: "If only I could have the strength of yours, I would go outside to do chivalrous righteousness and punish those lackeys of the government who arrest people indiscriminately and harm the martial arts!" ”

The round-faced girl waved her fist, her face full of indignation.

During Su Heng's absence, Gu Zhong didn't know what rumors came out.

Even such a girl who seems to be not deeply involved in the world looks angry when she talks about the state army.

Su Heng waved goodbye to the round-faced girl and left the Jingshui Building.

The time came to the next day.

Misty and bright.

Su Heng couldn't wait to come to the Scripture Pavilion.

"Running here early in the morning, the young man can stand it, can I, a bad old man, stand it?" Old man Mo walked out of the partition room wearing patched pajamas, hunched over his waist, and holding a simple toothbrush made of pig hair in his hand.

He is an almost psychic warrior.

You don't have to go out.

Just by listening to the footsteps, he knew that it was Su Heng who came here early in the morning to disturb him.

"If you want to say that, then I can only enjoy the braised boiled baked cakes I just bought." Su Heng lifted the rice bucket in his hand and gestured to take it away and enjoy it for himself.

"You kid has a little conscience."

Old Man Mo suddenly smiled, and snatched the rice bucket from Su Heng's hand.

The rice bucket is divided into two layers, the bottom is a fragrant and flavorful stew, and the top is a hot sesame baked cake.

"Tell me, you kid came to me this time, what's the matter?" Old Man Mo went back to the room and rinsed his mouth, broke the baked cakes, soaked them in the stew below, and began to enjoy his breakfast in a big gulp.

A muffled voice came into Su Heng's ears.

"Naturally, I came here for the spring breeze." Su Heng opened his mouth and said, "In addition, I also want to go to the upper three floors of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion to take a look and find a secret technique or exercise that suits me." ”

Su Heng put the two contribution cards in his hand on the table in front of Old Man Mo.

"Go, go, go."

Old man Mo obviously knew Su Heng's recent experience, and with a wave of his hand, he let Su Heng go by himself.

Go to the fifth floor.

The decoration inside is similar to the lower floors.

There were several bookshelves in the middle, the sun was shining through the window, and there was no one in the empty space.

Su Heng came to the bookshelf, held his breath, and began to rummage through it in turn.

There is only one introduction to the exercises here.,Roughly introduce the content and requirements.,If you want to get the complete exercises, you need to use the contribution card to exchange it with the old man Mo.。

He completed the task this time, originally just wanted to bring back the spring breeze recipe.

But now, the large amount of extra contribution from the senior brother gave Su Heng some special ideas.

"The bullets fired from the musket can pose a threat to me to a certain extent, so this time I continue to choose the real skill of the defense type to perfect my absolute defense plan."

Su Heng thought in his heart: "The strength provided by this exercise must be strong and heavy, and it would be even more perfect if it could add some long-range counterattack capabilities." ”

Think of it this way.

Su Heng spent half a day searching for it in the Scripture Pavilion.

When the time came to noon, in the corner of the bookshelf on the seventh floor, Su Heng opened a dusty book, and his eyes suddenly lit up-

- "Turtle Breath True Determination"
