Volume 1: Legacy Chapter 27: Quest
The five of them entered the Governor's Mansion and came to a bedroom, at this time an old man with white hair was sitting on a chair, his expression was anxious, his face was extremely solemn, and a middle-aged man was lying on the bed, his face was black, his lips were blue, and he was unconscious.
"Huang Yaoshi, isn't Du Wei awake yet?"
Huo Yunfeng asked the old man.
The old man opened his eyes and couldn't help flashing a glimmer of light, and when he saw that it was Huoyunfeng, he hurriedly asked eagerly, "How is it, have you ever caught that assassin?"
Huo Yunfeng nodded and said: "I'll wait for the four of us to chase this thief out of the city, this guy doesn't know what secret method he has cultivated, the speed is extremely fast, he is about to escape into Danshui, thanks to this Taoist friend interception, kill this thief in one fell swoop!"
"Okay! As long as this thief is killed, although I am a little derelict in this mission, I will be able to explain to the sect!"
Huang Yaoshi said with a happy face, and glanced at Jing Shaoling at the same time.
Huo Yunfeng introduced: "This is the son of Wuyang Hou, this time thanks to his interception, otherwise the thief would have escaped!"
Huang Yaoshi smiled: "It's really a young hero, isn't it a Taoist friend of which sect?"
Huo Yunfeng hurriedly said: "Jing Gongzi has not yet entered the sect, and his cultivation is self-taught. ”
Huang Yaoshi looked at him in surprise and said, "But I see that you have no spiritual energy in your body, could it be that you are taking the refining route?"
Glancing at Jing Shaoling, Huang Yaoshi asked.
Jing Shaoling nodded and said, "I met a casual cultivator since I was a child and taught me some techniques of body refining, so I embarked on the path of cultivation. ”
At this time, all the aura in his body was contained in the butterfly egg, so the dantian was empty, and it was not surprising that they couldn't see it, and he was mistaken for a body refiner, but he didn't explain it.
Martial cultivators themselves are also cultivating physical bodies, and it is normal for them to be mistaken for body refiners.
"Body refiner, this is a specialized cultivation of the physical body, it is difficult to cultivate without talent and great perseverance, that thief has a sixth-layer cultivation of qi refining, and if a Taoist friend can kill him, he should also be at least a sixth-level cultivation of the body refining, it is really talented!"
Huang Yaoshi was stunned for a moment, and then said approvingly.
Including Huo Yunfeng and the other three monks all showed a surprised expression, although Shaoling killed the black-clothed monk first, everyone only regarded him as a strong cultivator, but they didn't expect that he was actually a body refiner, and it was also a sixth-layer body refiner, which was rare.
The body refiner is the route taken by those monks who have no talent for cultivation, specializing in the physical body, although it is extremely difficult to break through in the realm, but once it is refined, it is basically invincible at the same level.
It's just that in the process of cultivation, it is extremely painful, the physical body of ordinary monks is extremely fragile, and few people can endure such a great hardship to cultivate the body all the way, Jing Shaoling's cultivation of the sixth layer of the refining body, which is also rare among monks.
"I'm stupid and can only take this path, which is far from you!"
Jing Shaoling said modestly.
Seeing that he was so modest, the five monks nodded their heads one after another, and couldn't help but feel good in their hearts.
Huo Yunfeng explained the purpose of Jing Shaoling's visit, and then introduced to Jing Shaoling: "This is the Huang Yao Master of Tongling Peak, who is the best at alchemy, and is also the temporary person in charge of the five of us!"
"Psychic Peak Alchemist?"
Jing Shaoling was shocked at first, not long ago he killed five disciples of the Psychic Peak, and he was extremely sensitive to the Psychic Peak, but when he thought that it was a hundred thousand mountains, he didn't know about this matter, so he was not afraid.
However, this old man was an alchemist who really surprised him, alchemist is a profession among monks, and he is very popular in the cultivation world, and his status is also very high, after all, the cultivation of monks cannot be promoted without pills.
It's just that alchemy also has to be talented, and it is rare to produce an alchemist among a thousand monks, and because of this, alchemists are very respected in the cultivation world.
"It turns out that Huang Daoyou is an alchemist, I have heard of the name of an alchemist for a long time, and I have never had the opportunity to see it, but today I am lucky!"
Jing Shaoling said respectfully.
Seeing his expression, Huang Yaoshi was very useful, and said: "Daoist friends are worthy of coming from a famous family, and if you have the opportunity to come to my Tongling Peak in the future, I will refine a furnace of pills for you!"
Jing Shaoling hurriedly thanked him.
The four of Huoyunfeng all showed a look of surprise, and they all looked at Jing Shaoling with envy.
It is a great thing to be able to get the promise of Huang Yaoshi personally, the monk relies on the pill the most in his cultivation, and he can get the promise of an alchemist, this is an unbelievable thing, this guy is lucky.
The four of Huoyun Feng were extremely envious.
Huang Yaoshi sighed at this time and said: "Du Wei has not woken up yet, I have checked that this is an extremely powerful yin poison, the thief's sword contains yin poison, I don't have a suitable pill to detoxify, I'm afraid Du Wei will not be able to survive for half a month!"
When Huo Yunfeng heard this, he was surprised and said, "Huang Daoyou, there is no way to cure this poison with your means?"
Huang Yaoshi hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not ...... There is no way, if there is a Yang Returning Grass, I can also refine a furnace of Yang Returning Pill if I gather some elixirs, so that I can solve the poison of Du Wei. It's just that the Yang Returning Grass is very rare, I don't have it in my hand, even if I go back to the sect to ask for it, I'm afraid it won't be too late!"
As soon as these words came out, Huo Yunfeng's faces suddenly became extremely heavy.
"What can I do about this, if Du Wei dies, although I will kill the thief, but the punishment will not be waived, Huang Yaoshi, your noble status is naturally fine, I will be in trouble!"
Huo Yunfeng smiled bitterly.
"That's it, please ask Huang Yaoshi to rescue the captain!"
The other three monks pleaded.
Huang Yaoshi shook his head and sighed: "I can't help it, just now I fed a pill of poison removal pill to Du Wei, I can only temporarily suppress the poison, unless Elder Qian can rush back in time, with his foundation-building cultivation, he can naturally have a way to expel this poison, but as far as I know, Elder Qian went to Xianshan County this time to encircle and suppress the Changchun Zi of the Yuding Gate of the Qin State, I am afraid that he will not be able to contact him for a while." ”
When Huo Yunfeng heard this, they all looked bitter.
Jing Shaoling listened to it on the side, and he understood a little bit in his heart, he had stayed in Longhe Mountain before, and he knew a little about this matter.
Nowadays, the four kingdoms of Qin, Chu, Qi and Zhao are competing for hegemony, and the four countries have their own Xianmen behind them, and almost every year there are wars, and there are faint sects behind them, so every year each sect will send its disciples to participate in the war of their country, although on the surface it is that the countries are competing with each other, in fact, the sects are competing in the back.
The reason for this is not clear to Jing Shaoling, but he knows some of the monks' participation in the mundane war, which is almost a matter agreed upon by various sects, and every disciple goes down the mountain to participate in the war, which is called a trial, or a monk who kills the enemy, or a big man who protects the side, there is a reward for completing the task, and he will be punished if he fails.
Huo Yunfeng and several of them are all members of the Chu State Sect, and they have to accept the task every year to come to the border barracks to participate in the mission, if the mission fails, not only will they not get contribution points, but they will also encounter punishment, which is a great trouble for them.
However, when he heard that there were still Zhuji monks participating in this trial mission, Jing Shaoling was still a little surprised, this war should not be so simple, and even he was a little suspicious, whether Elder Qian, the Zhuji monk, was someone deliberately diverted away, which led to the assassination of Liu Duwei, otherwise a Zhuji monk was in charge, and no monk could sneak into the Duwei Mansion.
However, he is an outsider, and he can only think about this matter for himself, and it is difficult to say anything.
"Actually, it's not that there is no way, it's just ........"
Huang Yaoshi said with some hesitation.
"What a way, Huang Daoyou say it quickly!"
Huo Yunfeng's spirits perked up and he hurriedly asked.
"I remember that there is a valley at the junction of Qin and Chu not far from here, called Huangsha Valley, there is no grass in it, I heard a disciple say when I was in the sect before, there is a seedling of Yang grass in it, this is still five years ago, it is estimated that now the Yang grass should be mature, if you send someone to fetch grass, half a month is enough. ”
Huang Yaoshi said.
"Oh, Huangsha Valley, I know there, it's about seven days away from here, but it's the junction of Qin and Chu, there are Qin troops stationed there, and there are often monks patrolling, if you want to silently return the Yang Grass, I'm afraid it's a little troublesome!"
Huo Yunfeng said in embarrassment.
"It's not a problem, I have a pill of Hidden Pill here, and after taking it, the breath can be constricted within a day, as long as you are not a foundation building monk, it is difficult to find, but it is just ......."
Huang Yaoshi looked at the four of them with some embarrassment, and continued: "Now that the commander has been assassinated, the enemy army must have taken action, and the four of you can't easily walk away, we must guard against the enemy monks taking the opportunity to make trouble." Moreover, the cultivation of the person who went should not be too low, so there is no suitable person for this person. ”
When Huo Yunfeng heard this, he also felt in a dilemma.
Jing Shaoling suddenly said: "Leave this matter to me, Liu Duwei is my father's subordinate, I also call him uncle, since his life is at stake, I don't care about this matter, not to mention that I have to wait for Liu Duwei to wake up and return to Yingdu with the help of a military ship." ”
"Such a great good!"
Huo Yunfeng said with a grateful face.
Huang Yaoshi also said with a look of approval: "This matter has to be done by Jing Daoyou, you are the sixth layer of refining the body, ordinary monks are difficult to help you, be careful, it should be okay to take the Yang Grass!"
The other three monks all showed their gratitude to Jing Shaoling.
"Without further ado, I'll go now, and ask Huang Daoyou to give me the map of the Yellow Sand Valley!"
Jing Shaoling said.
"This is the map to the Yellow Sand Valley, this is a pill of Hidden Pill, you can take it after you arrive at the journey from the Yellow Sand Valley for a day, you should be able to hide from those patrolling monks, please!"
Huang Yaoshi handed the map and a pill to Jing Shaoling.
Huo Yunfeng opened his mouth and said: "I'll prepare a horse for you, the road is far away, ride a horse faster!"
Jing Shaoling followed Huo Yunfeng out of the bedroom, and after a while came to the door of the Governor's Mansion, Huo Yunfeng gave an order to the officer just now, and after a while, he brought a jujube red war horse, Jing Shaoling nodded at Huo Yunfeng, and rode away.
Huo Yunfeng sighed, and then his face turned pale, and he said: "Spy, it's best not to be found out by me, otherwise ......"
