Chapter Seventy-Three: Under the Errand Mission
Zhang Su is not so much a sword cultivator as an instrument cultivator.
The Seven Swords Array focuses on a flexible and ethereal one. The power of the falling sword is not great, but the opponent can dodge one sword, but he may not be able to dodge the seven swords, so that he can temporarily rank among the disciples in the foundation building period in the sect.
However, such a sword has no sword intent.
Huo Rongdong had heard too many of the sword intent of his predecessors in the cave of the Sword Pavilion, some were as fast as a dragon, and some were as soft as clouds.
In the face of these powerful sword intents, Zhang Su's Seven Sword Array was nothing more than a toy for the family.
Although Huo Rongdong didn't have a flying sword in his hand, he was not afraid at all. She just subconsciously turned her fingers into a sword, condensing a gust of wind from her fingertips. The wind swept the water and rushed upward, winding into a fine, dense whip of water.
The whip snaked silently in the pool, and then the other end slammed out of the water, simulating the shape of a dragon's head.
Ten years of sharpening a sword, the frost blade has not been tried.
Who has a grievance today?
A new variant of the Sunset Sword - the Water Dragon Sword!
So the swiftness of the Seven Swords Formation was defeated by another kind of agility, and no matter where the little sword flew, the shadowy water dragon followed closely behind, opening its mouth to engulf it entirely. No matter how much the seven little swords struggled, they couldn't get up.
Huo Rongdong stepped on the big stone, and his sword intent was like a rainbow.
- Even if there is no flying sword in hand, where there is me, there is a sword.
The Seven Swords Formation was broken by the opponent empty-handed, and it can be said that it was defeated quietly. Zhang Su's eyes were stunned, and Lu Yan was also shocked.
"How dare you ......"
Zhang Su opened his mouth to drink, but saw that Huo Rongdong's expression was calm, but his tone was still sincere: "Senior brother, your Seven Sword Formation has made a big omission, I suggest that you find a refiner and re-cultivate it." ”
Zhang Su took a deep breath.
He has been the senior brother of the foundation building period of Peach Blossom Valley for more than ten years, if someone said that his sword formation was incomplete, he could still bow his head, but more than ten years have passed, he feels that the Seven Sword Formation has no regrets, and even Li Yan Daojun often praises him, how can he be accused by a milky little girl like Huo Rendong? !
But just now, the Seven Swords Array was indeed suppressed by a water dragon...... Isn't he fast enough? Not agile enough?
Zhang Su thought for a long time, but when he saw Lu Yan's eyes beside him, he figured it out in an instant.
- It could not be his fault!
"It must be that you have done something, why don't you let go of my Seven Swords Formation quickly!" Zhang Su let out a loud shout, took out two bursting talismans from his sleeve and squeezed them in his hand, and his words seemed to be a warning.
Huo Rongdong dragged the lotus cover with one hand, and pinched the trick with the other hand to control the water dragon whip to suppress the seven swords, and his eyebrows were full of impatience: "Zhang Daoyou, it is you who seize the stream first, and the farmers who are embarrassed last." I'm just arguing with reason, now if you change your position and find another place, you can still raise arowana well and not delay your birthday gift. ”
"What you said is light, this fish is expensive, and it is never easy to live on the ground. You know how much effort it took me to find this creek. ”
"Besides, you don't understand the principle of first come, first come?! For the sake of seeing the same door, I won't kill you, so don't get out of the way quickly! Zhang Su shouted.
The two sides confronted each other, Huo Rendong pursed his lips and refused to back down, at the same time, the Sunset Sword finally pryed the boulder under the water, and a faint trickle seeped out from the gap, and the water level of the waterhole began to drop slightly.
I can already hear the joyful shouts of the old Li Tou behind the boulder.
Zhang Su was shocked, and he couldn't care about the Seven Swords Formation, and pinched the bursting charm with both hands: "Toast and don't eat and drink!" ”
Lu Yan didn't have time to stop: "Don't-"
Suddenly, only two loud noises of "boom-" were heard, and the waterhole was blown up with a huge splash, which was more than ten meters high, and after stagnation in the air for a few seconds, it fell down again, like a pouring rain.
The Eight Treasure Lotus Cover can block attacks, but it cannot block natural things.
So much so that Huo Rendong was not affected by the explosion, but was splashed with water all over his face.
She is wearing fairy clothes, which is invulnerable. Only the hair and face were wet, Huo Rongdong wiped it with his sleeve, twisted the soaked hair, and suddenly his eyes flashed.
"Oops!"
It is true that the fairy clothes can avoid water, but the cloth bags given to her by the farmers are not waterproof. She opened the sackcloth and saw that the tears of the old cow that had been so hard to get all morning had melted into the water!
Zhang Su and Lu Yan were also quite embarrassed, but because of this move, he successfully recovered the Seven Swords Formation. Seeing Huo Rendong's ugly expression, he also guessed something.
"What, the mission failed?"
"That's a pity, not only is there no pay, but you have to pay for other people's goods, tsk."
Lu Yan glanced at him: "Okay, we still have to check the situation of the dragonfish, if you blow it up, we have to find another way." ”
Zhang Su smiled: "Arowana is not so weak. Senior Sister Huo, the real person will let you go for the time being today. Remember next time, don't worry about our Peach Blossom Valley! ”
Huo Nindong clutched his empty pockets, glanced at them hatefully, turned around and jumped off the boulder, and walked in the direction he came.
The Sunset Sword pried open a gap in the stone and dredged the water flow, so that the farmers could receive water from this small crack for irrigation, and no longer had to walk more than ten miles of mountain roads.
Although it was not completely resolved, Lao Li Tou was already grateful, and he was about to kneel down and kowtow to her.
Huo Rongdong hurriedly calmed the old man's emotions, she was worried about the old cow's tears, and hurriedly ran to the next village.
However, in the next few hours, she flew all over the four towns and villages, and no one had any extra old cow tears except for the originally scheduled delivery people.
"This thing is rare, the old cow has aura, if you ask it to cry, it will never cry, sometimes it takes half a year to get a grain, sometimes it only takes two or three months, it's not good."
"Let's go to another house and look for it."
Seeing that it was getting late, the time was pressing, and it was almost time for the task to be delivered, Huo Rendong still had five old cow tears left in his hand.
Lingshi is a trivial matter, but she is really unwilling to fail the first mission.
When Edgeworth flew back to Bai Yujing, she saw the bustling crowd and the shops on both sides, and she was in a hurry, and suddenly thought of a solution.
I took out the storage bag, and really found a fishtail wooden talisman from inside, with the word 'Silver Sea' engraved on it.
The news is all over the world, and even precious materials can be obtained, so there should be a way to find the old cow's tears, right?
Just do it, Huo Rongdong asked someone to inquire about the location, and really found the Yinhai Study main store in the most prosperous area of Bai Yujing.
Compared to other small towns, this main store is almost the size of a castle, and it is richly decorated, with four doors on the first floor, and a uniformed junior greeter greets them at each place. The monks who came in and out of the fast were all well-dressed and not low-cultivated.
Huo Rongdong stood at the door to cheer himself up, walked in the door, and casually found a junior to talk to.
"Sorry to interrupt, I'm a disciple of Tianyan Sect, surnamed Huo. When I went down the mountain to do the task today, I had some errands, and I wanted to ask for help from the lord of the fast, and I was tired of the little brother. She said politely, and handed over the fishtail wooden talisman with both hands, "This is a token." ”
Xiao Er is the best at reading people, he likes the politeness of this female cultivator in his heart, but he is not good at judging her relationship with the lord of the fast, so he promised: "It's easy to say, fairy, wait a minute, I'll go and tell the shopkeeper immediately." ”
Huo Rongdong found a corner with few people and waited.
There are surprisingly many people in the store, and some people don't seem to have come to buy something.
Several gorgeously dressed female cultivators gossiped together in twos and threes, showing flowers and branches, singing and singing, and at first glance, they were the favored female disciples of the major sects, and they looked up and down at Huo Rongdong, who was dressed in plain clothes, and mocked.
"This trick, I've already played it, who is the lord of the fast, he won't be fooled."
"How easy it is to ask for the Lord's side? Have one's head in the clouds. ”
"If you really think you're a vegetable, not everyone will help in the study."
Huo Rongdong didn't hear all their ridicule, she stood in the corner and admired a bamboo forest ink treasure hanging on the wall, and suddenly heard a burst of exclamations behind her.
"Who is that, it is really the Lord of the Fasting himself?"
"It's the Star Shifting Daojun......"
She turned around and saw a handsome man in white flowing down the stairs from the second floor. His black hair was shawl, and his long hair fell gently on his arms.
As he walked down, all the guests in the hall came up, either chatting or greeting, and all of them smiled like flowers.
The same is true for those female cultivators, but Dugu Yi's smile does not reach the bottom of his eyes, and as soon as he closes the folding fan, he "snaps" to isolate everyone who wants to climb the relationship.
"Everyone, I'm sorry, I have a distinguished guest coming to the door today, and I can't entertain you in person, it's rude."
After speaking, he stretched out his hand to Huo Rendong from afar, and said in a gentle tone: "Fairy, can you go up to the third floor with me for a while?" ”
The eyes of everyone in the hall were almost "brushed", as if the searchlights were all hitting Huo Rendong.
She froze for a moment, under the pressure of tens of thousands of volts, and walked towards the stairs step by step. When he stood beside Dugu Yi, he held his right hand weakly and blocked everyone's prying eyes for her, and the two went up to the private room on the third floor.
Refreshments have already been prepared in the flower hall, flowers are placed on the table, and the walls are covered with famous works.
Dugu Yi invited her to sit down: "If I knew that you would be here today, I should have closed the door." ”
Huo Rongdong was very uncomfortable: "This is already an interruption. ”
She talked about the task items in detail, omitting her own experience in the middle, and only said that she had encountered an accident.
Dugu Yi pondered for a moment, turned around and said a few words to the shopkeeper, who left immediately, and came back not long after, holding a tray in his hand.
"Look, fairy, this is what you want?"
Huo Rongdong looked at it, there were neat and tidy ones in the tray, wasn't it the old cow tears she was looking for?!
"Thank you, shopkeeper, it's exactly this!"
The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man, his eyebrows and eyes are crooked when he hears the words, and his eyes are full of love: "It is not uncommon for old cow tears to drop in our study, since the fairy needs it, I will pack it for you immediately." ”
Huo Rongdong saluted him, happy in his heart, and turned to Dugu Yi to thank him: "Thank you Daojun!" How much does this item cost? I'll pay it all. ”
Dugu Yi rarely saw her so happy, and her lips hooked: "It's just a trivial matter, you and I care about the spirit stone, just see the outside." I have long said that if you have something, come to me, and you don't have to be afraid of trouble. ”
Huo Rongdong felt the same in his heart, thinking that if he had the opportunity next time, he would have to repay this favor.
Dugu Yi shook the folding fan and handed her the wooden box containing the old cow's tears, Huo Rendong was about to take it, but he held down the box.
The handsome man's eyes were dark, and the tails of his slender eyes were a little red: "Try to call Senior Brother?" ”
Huo Rendong was stunned for a moment, and teased: "If it is according to the generation, I should call you the ancestor." ”
Dugu Yi: "Hahaha! ”
Because the task time was approaching, Huo Rendong was in a hurry to go to the Yangshan Iron Smelting Shop to deliver the goods, because Bai Yujing had strict rules in the country, and she was not allowed to take the sword and flying magic weapons below the foundation building period, so she originally planned to run.
Dugu Yi waved the sleeves of his robe: "The crowd is crowded, you may not be able to catch up if you walk now." Ride in my beast cart, it's fast when it flies. ”
Huo Rendong looked down and saw a richly decorated carriage parked on the side of the road, but it was not a horse, but a divine beast with a dragon head and a deer's tail, with four hooves and a bunch of flowing white hair on its forehead.
Dugu Yi's mute servant was already guarding the car, and when he saw the two of them coming down, he reached out and lifted the curtain, revealing the soft seat covered with fur inside.
"It's called Night Illumination, but it can travel thousands of miles a day, and it will not let you fail in your mission." Dugu Yi stretched out his hand to her.
Huo Rongdong nodded: "Thank you Daojun." ”
Just as she was about to help him into the car, a gust of wind suddenly came from behind her, and then a huge force grabbed her wrist.
Huo Rongdong was startled, and when he looked back, he was facing Qi Ci's cold face.
Dugu Yi raised his eyebrows: "Let go." ”
Qi Ci snorted coldly: "You let go." ”
