Chapter 21: The Ten-Year Covenant
Yin Heng no longer hid his breath, Yan Jingchen hurriedly turned around and saluted through his divine sense: "Senior Yin Heng." I don't know that the immortal master is here, so I have a lot of disturbances, and I ask for forgiveness. ”
"Do you want to learn swordsmanship?" Yin Heng lost the monstrous momentum when he captured the flag at this time, but he had a bit of a teacher's meaning.
Yan Jingchen remembered the instructions of the village chief when he left on the day he took the Cleansing Pill, and said apologetically: "I may have to disappoint the immortal master, I promised to have someone and not worship someone as a teacher." ”
"It's okay, the way of heaven is natural, and you can't force it without the fate of master and apprentice. By the way, I heard you say just now, you are Yan Jingchen of Luoyu City, is it Yan Jingchen who won Baili Mo in a deathmatch. Yin Heng was not annoyed by Yan Jingchen's failure to apprentice, but asked about his identity.
Yan Jingchen thought about it and saw that Yin Heng had no malicious intent, so he replied, "Exactly." ”
"No wonder! Worshipping the five major sects of Immortal Emperor City is much better than worshipping me, a master who can't even capture the flag. Yin Heng misunderstood Yan Jingchen's meaning a little, thinking that what he said was just a polite excuse.
Yan Jingchen heard the meaning of Yin Heng's words, but he didn't plan to explain. There are some things that, the more you explain them, the more intentional they become.
Yin Heng saw that Yan Jingchen didn't speak, so he thought that he had guessed his thoughts, and said with a smile indifferently: "Don't think that you can sit back and relax if you enter the five major sects of Immortal Emperor City, as far as I know, in this runoff election of Immortal Emperor City in seventy-two counties in the world, the forces of the Baili family have intervened, and they have won a total of seventeen places, that is to say, although you have not yet arrived in Immortal Emperor City, there are seventeen more opponents whose talents are not below you." ”
Yan Jingchen gasped when he heard this, and said to Yin Heng gratefully: "Thank you Yin Heng seniors for reminding you." ”
Yin Heng didn't speak again, looked at Yan Jingchen carefully, turned around and was about to leave, and when he was about to leave, he turned back to Yan Jingchen and said, "Ten years later, I will come to capture the flag." If you don't die by then, I'll show you a few more swordsmanship tricks at that time. ”
Yan Jingchen was secretly happy in his heart, if it weren't for the village chief's instructions, he would have already worshiped Yin Heng as a teacher, and he would have heard that he still had a chance to get his guidance and hurriedly responded.
Yan Jingchen stood in place, watching Yin Heng gradually walk away, until he could no longer feel Yin Heng's breath, he also collected his thoughts and slowly walked towards the Xianyuan Inn.
When he arrived at the inn, Yan Jingchen first hid behind the door and listened for a while, and saw that there was no unusual sound, so he knocked on the door.
Zhang Daohong opened the door for Yan Jingchen with a big mouth and a stiff smile on his face, and said embarrassedly: "Brother Jingchen, it's not right for my brother, come into the house quickly." ”
"Look at your disgusting smile, there is a bit of confession. Yan Jingchen saw that he was in a good mood, so he jokingly squeezed.
"Is it disgusting?" Zhang Daohong rubbed his face and eased his expression, but before he could hold on for a few breaths, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Yan Jingchen shook his head helplessly and said, "I just met Senior Yin Heng, and I got some news from him that is not very good for us. ”
Zhang Daohong was still smiling, looking at Yan Jingchen stupidly, and he didn't hear the meaning of Yan Jingchen's words at all.
"The forces of the Baili family have participated in the final election of Immortal Emperor City in all states and counties, and as many as seventeen of them have won the leader, and they can enter the five major sects. ”
It wasn't until this meeting that Zhang Daohong understood Yan Jingchen's words, he waved his hand and said: "The Baili family started as a merchant in the early years, and there is nothing strange about its descendants and counties. ”
"But combined with the matter of Luo Yu City, do you still think their actions this time are normal?"
Zhang Daohong suppressed his smile, and he didn't dare to take it lightly in this kind of thing. After thinking about it for a long time, he said what he thought.
"Since that's the case, then we can only try our best to fight for the local forces in Immortal Emperor City to balance them. ”
When Yan Jingchen heard this, he said with some surprise: "Brother Daohong, there is an old man in Immortal Emperor City?"
Zhang Daohong smiled but did not speak, and pouted towards the room next to him.
"Did you say Lu Qingyao, is this woman reliable?"
"You are a stereotype, and Fairy Lu is very good. Zhang Daohong turned around and cleaned up the bed, and then said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow, let's get up early and hurry." ”
Yan Jingchen saw that he was confident, and knew that Zhang Daohong must have a plan, so he stepped forward to pester him and chatted for most of the night, and then they rested.
In the early morning, the warm and cold climate shrouded the heavens and the earth with a layer of mist, and there was a faint charm of fairy wind between the mountains and rivers.
In the long pavilion outside the Sword City, Lu Qingyao once again opened his mouth and invited: "You really don't think about traveling to the mainland with me. ”
Lu Qingyao seemed to deliberately avoid Yan Jingchen's gaze and twisted her head to Zhang Daohong's side. Yan Jingchen didn't understand the girl's thoughts, so she had to be silent, standing aside and watching Zhang Daohong talk to her.
"I handed over a message yesterday, there is still an important matter to be done in Immortal Emperor City, and I can't travel to the mainland with the fairy. ”
Lu Qingyao frowned, her eyes kept rolling, and then she said, "Don't try to trick me into going back to Immortal Emperor City." ”
Zhang Daohong was calm and calm, pointed to Yan Jingchen and said, "Don't dare, what I said is the truth, I don't believe you asked my brother." ”
Lu Qingyao opened her smart eyes and looked at Yan Jingchen, wanting to get the answer she wanted from him.
Yan Jingchen was a little uncomfortable by her, and hurriedly said, "Yes, we are in a hurry to go to Immortal Emperor City for important matters. ”
"Hmph, look at your thief, it's your business if you have something, it has nothing to do with me, so say goodbye. Lu Qingyao raised her head lightly, with a posture of begging me.
Yan Jingchen's heart surged with anger again, and he left all the things Zhang Daohong explained last night behind, and said angrily: "If you don't repay your kindness, you are not a gentleman!"
Lu Qingyao's angry eyes and undulating chest proved her current anger, and she suddenly shouted: "Immortal hand!"
There was a surge of Dao power in the air, and one of Lu Qingyao's jade hands grabbed towards Yan Jingchen.
Yan Jingchen didn't expect Lu Qingyao to make a sudden move, and hurriedly jumped back in a hurry. Although this leap was a subconscious move in a hurry, it was also a full leap of five or six zhang away, and the scene at the Xianyuan Inn was vividly in his purpose.
The corners of Lu Qingyao's mouth curved, revealing a beautiful smile, and said lightly: "You think that you can avoid my 'Immortal Hand' in this way." ”
I saw her fingers hooked, and Yan Jingchen was suspended in the air like a marionette, and her body was no longer under her control. With Lu Qingyao's gesture, the heavens and the earth were ravaged.
Zhang Daohong saw that the corners of his eyes twitched on the side, and he hurriedly stepped forward to interrupt Lu Qingyao's technique, which relieved Yan Jingchen's pain in flesh and skin.
Released from the control of his body, Yan Jingchen crawled out of the ditch on the side of the road, he didn't expect that he would be bullied by a little girl like this, and he was about to fight back without saying a word, and a dragon suddenly appeared behind him, and he was about to start.
To say that at this time, the most difficult person to be is Zhang Daohong, on the one hand, he is the goddess in his heart, and on the other hand, he is the brother who has lived with him. He persuaded this head and persuaded that head.
finally calmed down the two of them, and the plan originally agreed with Yan Jingchen could not be continued. Zhang Daohong glanced at the sun, the time was not early, and if it was delayed, he would have to camp today, so he said to Lu Qingyao: "Say goodbye today, I don't know when I will see you again." ”
Lu Qingyao interrupted Zhang Daohong's words indignantly and said, "It's better to let your brother go to Immortal Emperor City by himself, and let's explore the continent together." ”
Although Zhang Daohong wanted to agree in his heart, he knew that he couldn't, so he had to smile bitterly and said: "The cultivation of contemptible people is really limited, and I am afraid that going to the mainland will drag the fairy back." It's better to wait until I stay in Immortal Emperor City for ten years, and then I will meet with the fairy in Sword City. ”
Seeing that Zhang Daohong couldn't be convinced, Lu Qingyao had no choice but to say stupidly, "Okay then." I really don't know what's interesting about Immortal Emperor City, it's more attractive than me. ”
Zhang Daohong saw that Lu Qingyao agreed, and he was overjoyed, ten years is not a long time for a monk, and it is just right for him to be able to precipitate the feelings of these two days, but he still said uneasily: "This is a gentleman's covenant, and no one can regret it." ”
Endless sorrow, endless goodbye. Under Yan Jingchen's continuous small movements, Zhang Daohong finally reluctantly took the first step towards Immortal Emperor City.
Looking at the backs of the two of them in the distance, Lu Qingyao, who was still sitting in the long pavilion, smiled at the corner of her mouth and said softly: "I'm not a gentleman." Then she took out a white jade talisman from the sachet and muttered a few incantations, and the jade talisman disappeared.
Five days later, a towering boundary monument appeared in front of the two of them, engraved with the two vigorous and powerful characters 'Yunzhou'. Legend has it that this boundary monument has a history of 10,000 years, and no matter how the three empires attacked each other for 10,000 years, no one dared to cross this boundary monument for 10,000 years, because the other side of the boundary monument is the scope of Immortal Emperor City.
To say that this Immortal Emperor City is really worthy of the name of the first day moat in the mainland.
Yan Jingchen stood in front of the hundred-foot city wall, looked up, and sighed sincerely. The material of the city wall is the same as the original Jue Xiantai, which is a rare gold luck stone in the mainland, and it looks extremely noble from a distance.
After entering the Immortal Emperor City, Yan Jingchen felt that his eyes were a little insufficient, and the shops on both sides of the street all exuded a light unique to spiritual weapons.
"Brother Daohong, are spirit weapons so worthless in Immortal Emperor City?" Yan Jingchen asked in a low voice, for fear that the people next to him would hear and make fun of him.
"That's natural, after all, the requirements for spiritual weapons are very low, and ordinary refiners can make them. In the Immortal Emperor City, there are as many refiners as a cow's hair, and the output is naturally large. ”
Refiner, there is a fresh term that has opened up Yan Jingchen's knowledge, the immortal cultivation world is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
"Is the 'Taihe' dagger that Baili Mo used in the death match with me at the beginning also a spiritual weapon?" Yan Jingchen became interested in refining the weapon and asked Zhang Daohong.
"Refining weapons, starting from the Dao Ancestor has a long history, and every year on the mainland, a grand event is held to judge the level of refiners, 'Taihe' is the proud work of a refining saint master of the Baili family when he was young, and it is said that he has reached the level of treasures. ”
After hearing this, Yan Jingchen couldn't help but yearn for the grand meeting of refiners, fantasizing about what kind of scene it would be.
Zhang Daohong touched him with his arm and said, "Don't think about it, don't you know when you get to the Midyear Festival, the annual refiner event is held in Immortal Emperor City." ”
