Volume 1 A Hundred Years of Luck in the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 233 The mission begins

Meng Li opened the bottle and swallowed the talisman liquid with a brand-new brush.

The white nib of the pen is instantly red.

Meng Li's knuckles were forced, holding the pen body tightly in the lower third of the brush, and steadily placing the red tip on the yellow rune paper.

Stroke into a drawing.

The supple tip of the pen, with the skillful strength of the wrist, wanders on the rune paper.

With the memory in his heart, the spirit pattern of the Burst Talisman was gradually outlined.

This time, the explosion did not happen again.

Tap the tip of the pen.

When the last stroke of the spirit pattern was successfully completed, Meng Li could clearly feel a suction force appearing from the rune paper, and along the pen in his hand, it sucked nearly half of the true qi in his body.

Half of the true qi in the body was consumed in an instant, and this kind of consumption speed like melting snow in the scorching sun was simply terrifying.

And that's just for the consumption of the Stabilisation Talisman.

This shows how terrifying the power of this talisman itself is.

Moreover, the Burst Charm that has done this is only a half-finished product.

In order to obtain the complete Burst Talisman, one more crucial step is required.

The study of talismans is broad and profound, and some high-level talismans must be activated in a unique way.

For example, the Phantom Cloud Talisman that Du Mu used required the Cloud Sword Sect's unique technique.

Fortunately, the Burst Charm is not complicated, and it can be mobilized with the simplest technique of the Burst Charm. The method of activating the talisman is recorded in great detail in the jade talisman scripture handed down by the people of the Hundred Channels.

What Meng Li really looked forward to was its plasticity.

After this talisman is successfully made, it cannot be used immediately, and it needs to be injected with true qi.

This process is like a sword opening, there is only one chance, and the amount of true qi injected will directly determine the power of this talisman.

And this is also the reason why the Burst Charm needs to be carried by medium runes.

Of course, even medium runes have limits.

The limit of the Burst Talisman is within the refining body, in other words, the strongest means of opening the talisman of this talisman is the Nine Forging Qi Injection.

Once the limit of the Nine Forging is exceeded and the Qi Acceptance Realm is reached, there is only one end for this talisman.

Explode!

If you want to do it, you must do it well.

Since Meng Li had decided to make a Splitting Talisman, he had already thought about it in his heart, there was only one Xue Bawu among the Nine Forging Martial Artists in Jieshui City, and this person happened to be his "ally".

The next day, Meng Li drew two more Burst Talismans and brought them to Xue Bawu's military camp together, asking the latter to help inject qi.

Because the more true qi was injected, the stronger the power of the talisman, and every time Xue Bawu injected qi, he had to do his best to exhaust all the true qi in his body, and when the three talismans were completed, it took another day.

By the time all three Burst Talismans are completed, it's time to come to the last day of May.

Tomorrow will be the day the quest begins.

At night, on a dark street in the east of the city, Yuan Zhizhang, dressed in night clothes, walked out of the mansion alone and walked towards a martial arts hall in the city.

This martial arts hall is not the first Dongxing martial arts hall in Dongcheng, but the second martial arts hall that follows it, and it has a vibrant name called the Qingmiao martial arts hall.

At the beginning of June, the sun was shining.

The morning sun shines down from among the trees, illuminating the street floor.

The wet streets are filled with the smell of earth.

Gorgeous flowers bloomed on the side of the road, green grass sandwiched the road, and after the rising sun, the first guests of today were ushered in.

Meng Li walked alone, walking on the street full of flowers.

At the end of the street, under an archway engraved with "Bei'an Fang", there is a man holding a knife.

"It's coming. ”

Fan Guoqiang saw Meng Li coming out of Bei'an Fang, and opened his half-squinted eyes.

Meng Li walked up to Fan Guoqiang and said, "You are a little earlier than we agreed. ”

"I just don't like to have people waiting for me. ”

Meng Li nodded and said sincerely: "This is really a good habit!"

The two didn't say much, but walked together and went to the gate of the West City together.

The task of removing beasts is released once a year in Jieshui City, and after a long time, it has become the standard for mutual testing between martial arts halls.

Meng Li and Fan Guoqiang walked together, and they did not have the idea of fighting for the Beicheng Martial Arts Hall.

The four districts of Jieshui City, to say that the most united, is the weak Beicheng District.

Perhaps it is precisely because they are the weakest that they have to huddle together to keep warm.

When the two of them approached the gate of the West City, they saw the martial arts warriors standing quietly under the city gate. Meng was silently counted, just six people.

Among the six people, Meng Li saw two familiar faces, one was Ming Xuan, who came on behalf of the Nanming Martial Arts Pavilion, and the other was Li Chong, who had a relationship.

When Meng Li saw Li Chong, an expression of surprise flowed on his face, and he muttered, "It's him!"

Fan Guoqiang heard Meng Li's strange appearance, followed the latter's gaze and saw Li Chong in the crowd, and said quietly: "This person's name is Li Chong, an ordinary seven-forging level, and he is the owner of the Baigang Martial Arts Hall in Nancheng. ”

Meng Li knew that the uncle Fan Guoqiang was talking about was Li Jingwen of the City Guard Mansion.

At the beginning, he had a meritorious service in suppressing bandits, and this Li Jingwen took the reward of the city guard mansion and came to the wooden sword martial arts hall once.

It was precisely because of that time that he met the "competitive" Li Pavilion Master.

Because of provoking himself, this Li Pavilion Master was also severely reprimanded by his uncle.

I don't know if he will hold a grudge?

In the distance, Li Chong, who was leaning under the city wall and waiting for the task to begin, was first surprised when he saw Meng Li, and then sneered, with an expression of eagerness to try.

Seeing Li Chong's appearance, Meng Li smiled bitterly, ignoring the other party's bar, and after approaching the city gate, he came to Mingxuan.

"Brother Meng Li. ”

Ming Xuan walked over after seeing Meng Li.

Meng Li nodded and pointed to Fan Guoqiang beside him to introduce him.

"Brother Mingxuan, this is Fan Guoqiang of Tianhua Martial Arts Hall, Brother Fan. ”

Hearing Fan Guoqiang's name, Ming Xuan's eyes lit up and said: "I have long heard that the old hall master of Tianhua Martial Arts Hall has sat down with three major disciples, and the eldest disciple Fan Guoqiang is calm and introverted, and his skills have already reached the peak of the Seven Forgings, which is not much better than the top Zhuang Qi and others among the descendants of the Seven Sects." ”

Fan Guoqiang said modestly: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

The Seven Sects of Jieshui are the top forces in Jieshui City, and the top young disciples among the Seven Sects are Zhuang Yu and Qi Heng. Both of them are the pinnacle of the Seven Forgings, comprehending the sword intent and the sword intent.

However, with Qi Heng joining the imperial court, the genius disciples of the Seven Sects of Jieshui were left with only Zhuang Yu standing out.

After the three of them exchanged pleasantries, they once again focused on several other martial arts halls.

Before Meng Li and Fan Guoqiang arrived, six warriors had already gathered under the city gate, which showed that they were the last two to arrive.

On the way before coming, Meng Li had already learned from Fan Guoqiang and learned about the specific situation of the eight martial arts halls.

In addition to the two urban districts known today in the north and south, the remaining four martial arts halls are the Dongxing Martial Arts Hall and the Qingmiao Martial Arts Hall in the East City, and the two martial arts halls of Jiewei and Iron Sword in the West City.

Among the eight martial arts halls, Meng Li is most concerned about the Dongxing martial arts hall in Dongcheng District.

Cheng Min, the owner of the Dongxing Martial Arts Hall, is a middle-aged man in his early forties.

Meng Li looked around, and soon fixed his gaze on a middle-aged man in his early forties.

I saw that the man's eyebrows were cold, his face was gloomy, and when Meng Li looked over, he was also looking at Meng Li with a gloomy gaze.

"Cheng Min of the Dongxing Martial Arts Hall?"

Meng Li looked at the middle-aged man and slowly exhaled.

The other party was wearing a martial arts uniform, and the short shirt with a black and white background was rusted with two bright red fonts, which was the word "Dongxing".

Cheng Min didn't expect the young man in front of him to take the initiative to speak to him, and said calmly after being surprised: "It's Cheng, what does the master of the Meng Pavilion have to say?"

Meng Li said expressionlessly: "I heard that the owner of the Pavilion is extremely attentive to Zai Xia these times, which makes Zai Xia have to be curious. ”

Cheng Min laughed and said, "Pavilion Master Meng is young, so he didn't expect to be an impatient. That's right, I have indeed been inquiring about Pavilion Master Meng in the past few days, and that is because Pavilion Master Meng's recent performance is really eye-catching, so Cheng has to pay attention!"

"Just appreciation?"

Meng Li looked directly at Cheng Min and couldn't take his eyes off it. The latter smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Or else?"

Old fox!

Looking at Cheng Min's smiling face, Meng Li scolded secretly.

Originally, he wanted to tear his face with Cheng Min, so that he didn't have to be false with the other party, and he could also observe other people's thoughts.

It's the best of both worlds.

But he didn't expect that the other party would not accept the offer. Looking at the kung fu of pretending to be stupid, you can know the depth of the other party's city.

This Cheng Min is not easy to deal with!

There was a young warrior in the crowd who was not more than thirty years old, his expression was indifferent, not angry but mighty, he looked up at the sun in the sky, confirmed the time, and came to the center of the crowd.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the time is approaching, and this mission is still in charge of our Realm Mighty Martial Pavilion, no objection, right?"

Hearing the voice of the young warrior, everyone froze and shook their heads.

When Meng Li saw this scene, his face was puzzled, and he whispered to Fan Guoqiang, who had already shook his head on the side, "Brother Fan, what is the origin of the Realm Mighty Martial Arts?"

Fan Guoqiang laughed softly: "The Boundary Mighty Martial Arts Pavilion is the first martial arts hall in our Jieshui City, and it has a high position in the martial arts circle of our Jieshui City, and the annual beast removal task is presided over by them, you just nod." ”

Under the young warrior's inquiring gaze, Meng Li nodded.

At this time, he didn't know that the reason why everyone agreed so happily was also directly related to the strength of the young warrior himself.

The reason why the Jiewei Martial Arts Pavilion can become the No. 1 Martial Arts Hall in Jieshui is because there are three Eight Forging Martial Arts Masters in the Martial Arts Hall, one main hall master and two deputy hall masters.

At this time, this young martial artist is the deputy hall master of the Realm Mighty Martial Arts Pavilion, named Zhao Zheng, a proper Eight Forging Martial Artist.

Among the eight martial arts halls, the only newly established martial arts hall is the wooden sword martial arts hall controlled by Meng Li, at this time, seeing Meng Li's nod, Zhao Zheng smiled slightly and said: "Okay, since there is no objection, let's go!"

Zhao Zheng, who is not yet thirty years old this year, has participated in the beast eradication task a lot of times, and almost after the unbounded stone forest was discovered, he participated in it, and he has long been familiar with the process of the beast eradication task.

At this time, seeing that everyone had no objections, they clapped their hands.

Bang Bang!!

The clear applause was heard, all the way into the cavern under the city gate.

In the cave, a group of officers and soldiers rushed out, one left and one right, divided into two rows, and slowly pushed the city gate open.

Outside the open gates, a straight road stretches westward, with no end in sight.

Zhao Zheng took the lead out of the city gate, pointed to the tamped official road heading west, and said: "Everyone, it's still the old rule, those who arrive at the Unbounded Stone Forest first can get the right of first choice. ”

As soon as the words fell, he took the lead and hurried away.

When everyone saw this scene, they were not to be outdone, and they each showed their own methods and left one after another.

Not long after everyone left, Feng Yu, dressed in a black official uniform, slowly climbed the city wall and looked into the west.

Looking at the back that was gradually moving away, Feng Yu smiled coldly.
