Chapter 8: The Angry Sword Gate
The life of someone is different, this is the biggest insight Jiang Ming has gained in life in the past half a month.
Since that day when Feng Fengwei left, Hu Wang was obviously beaten by some 'big shots', and came to hand over everything honestly the next morning, and his attitude was quite satisfactory to Jiang Ming.
After that, Jiang Ming suddenly became a young upstart with five Yuanfang in Kaiyuan City at the age of sixteen, even in a city like Kaiyuan City, it is also a pivotal existence.
The fact that he was secretly admitted to the Jixia School Palace also spread far and wide, and no one dared to come to him for trouble. Almost everywhere he goes, he only has Erlang's legs crossed.
The powerful people in the city came to cooperate with Jiang Ming one after another, and Jiang Ming expanded the scale of the five families again in a few days. And those "king's shopkeepers"
The "shopkeepers" and "shopkeepers Sun" were also changed by him one by one.
If there is revenge, it is not a gentleman. Some people are not able to sympathize. Although it is good to repay grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue?
In the past few days, he integrated the Yuanshi reserves of the five Yuanfangs, exchanged a large number of low-grade Yuanshi into ten top-grade black yuan, and planned to carry them with him, and hurriedly found some prestigious old courtiers to help him take care of Yuanfang. If he cultivates, these five Yuan Fang will be his side support, and in the future, Yuan Shi will be an indispensable existence, no too much.
Now that Jiang Ming has the brand of Jixia School Palace, people who come from vassals abound, and everyone is happy to sell him a face. It was like a god to get him doing things these days.
In addition, Lao Luo almost became Jiang Ming's heart disease.
He even mobilized the power of the government to look for it, but he still found nothing, no one knew where Lao Luo went, and no one had seen Lao Luo.
A big living person seems to have disappeared out of thin air.
As Lao Luo's second home, Qinglou Yanfang is definitely an indispensable search object.
The one who often goes and the one who doesn't go often has not been missed, and the acquaintances and those who are not familiar with each other have also been asked, and even the self-employed people have knocked on the door one by one to inquire about it, but they still can't find the slightest trace of Lao Luo.
In desperation, Jiang Ming had no choice but to give up for the time being, and explained to everyone to continue searching. And when Lao Luo came back, he was still in charge of the five Yuanfang, and left a letter to Lao Luo, so he carried a small bag and set foot on the road to Jixia.
Jiang Ming has been wandering in Kaiyuan City since he was eight years old, some of which are more sour and bitter, and how many ups and downs, at this time, one by one flashed in his mind, looking back at the two huge "Kaiyuan" ancient characters on the city gate, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Salute the way you came, be grateful and set off again..."Jiang Ming sighed for a long time, and a slender figure suddenly flashed in his warm eyes, making his originally heavy feet immediately have the strength to run.
"It's not difficult for a man to make a fortune, and it's not difficult to start a family!" Jiang Ming shook off his tears, pulled up his legs, and the billowing yellow smoke rose, and soon disappeared in the distance where he wanted to catch it.
According to this, he still has more than half a month to go.
It's not that Jiang Ming can't afford a carriage or anything, and it's not that he doesn't want to sit in it, but there is a clear rule in the Jixia School Palace that all enrolled children must go on foot alone from the place of departure, and they are not allowed to be accompanied by a group, let alone sent by their families.
Agnes has been sleeping, and the blow that helped Jiang Ming last time consumed too much of its strength from its original weakness.
"Be sure to help this guy find a faster way to recover... Jiang Ming thought to himself.
The Yuanling Continent is also vast for ordinary people, and there are hundreds of miles of no-man's land between countries and cities, and these places are often ancient and towering, insects and pigs are rampant, and rare birds and beasts are infested from time to time.
For mortals, this is a place of exile for those who have committed the most heinous crimes, but for ordinary cultivators, it is indeed a good training ground.
Jiang Ming had the power of the four elements at this time, and he had a thousand catties of strength between his hands together, and ordinary beasts could not pose a threat to him at all.
The wind hides and sleeps in the open for a few days, and the clothes on Jiang Ming's body have already been floating on his body by the wisps of branches and rocks hanging in the forest, coupled with unkempt dirty hair, he always roasts this and that in the mountains and forests to eat, and after eating the ashes on his hands, he likes to wipe his mouth, and he has already made a black head and black face, and he is completely indifferent.
Seeing that the weather was getting colder, and the sun was about to fall, the giant trees in the forest covered the sky, and the light was already extremely dim, and it was almost dark now.
Jiang Ming was full of food and drink, and casually found a tree branch to ride on, and was about to meditate, when he suddenly felt a cold wind in his back, and a life-threatening cold light inexplicably came straight to his heart.
Jiang Ming reacted very quickly, and when he heard the sound, he hurriedly grabbed the branch with his right hand, and his body quickly flashed outward, only to see that the cold light had already flown over his scalp like a meteor, and he was stunned to cut off a large piece of hair against his scalp, revealing a bright white gap...
"Uncle, what the hell!" Jiang Ming was angry, the cold light flew out more than two feet, and suddenly turned back, but this time it was stabbing at Jiang Ming's heart, obviously not wanting him to live!
"Damn, what the hell!" Jiang Ming cursed, but his hands and feet didn't stop, his right hand dragged the branch, and his left foot kicked violently on the trunk, and the whole person turned to the other side of the tree like a monkey.
Sonor!
The big tree shook, the dead leaves fell, and a metal sound came into Jiang Ming's ears, Jiang Ming hurriedly grabbed the branch and poked his head out, only to see a golden sword hilt carved with a simple river pattern inserted into the trunk, and the sword body did not know how much to insert into the trunk. At this time, the sword body buzzed, and the cold light was shining.
"Oh my God, it's a flying sword, it's so dangerous..."
"If you can play with the sword to this extent, your cultivation is at least the realm of Shinto, and I can't beat fifty people like this...", Jiang Ming's heart was beating wildly, and he was anxious to think about countermeasures.
The pattern on the hilt of the sword made Jiang Ming a little familiar, he had been in Yuanfang for three years, and he had seen many people exchange rare and exotic items for Yuan Shi, and he had also heard a lot of stories behind it, the river pattern on the hilt of the sword made him think of a strange sect on the south bank of the Nu River hundreds of miles north of Kaiyuan City-Nujian Gate!
It is rumored that if you want to exert the ultimate power of this swordsmanship, you must first push your anger to the peak, which is a strange method of using anger to catalyze blood. Therefore, anger is the essence of this sect's exercises.
It is precisely because of this that some people are rumored that the people of this sect are all brave and ruthless, and they roar at every turn, and they come up with a desperate posture, and a nest is full of hot tempers, dominating one side, which makes everyone who meets them have a headache.
"Hey, this red-eyed gray monkey is worthy of being a different species, and his actions are so agile that he can avoid the old man's two swords. ”
A few zhang away, an old man in a Taoist robe carried his hands behind his back, his body was straight, and he saw that while talking to himself, his toes were lightly on the branches, and he had come to Jiang Ming in a few ups and downs.
"The seniors are slow, the juniors are not monkeys, they are people. Jiang Ming was so scared that he laughed.
At this moment, Jiang Ming's face was full of carbon black, and the light in the forest was dim, his smile was like a row of white teeth floating in the dark, if it wasn't for the old way closer, he really couldn't see clearly.
"Phew! It's really unlucky, Dao Ye chased the gray monkey for half a month, and let your kid be scared away! But suddenly his eyes froze, and he turned his head to Jiang Ming and said:
"Boy, what is in the baggage behind you, how can there be such a big fluctuation of Yuan power?" The long sword in Lao Dao's hand pointed at Jiang Ming's throat without thinking.
"Oops! This old man wants to kill people and sell goods! This ghost place can't be found in front of the village and no store in the back, if I am slaughtered here, it will really evaporate from the world, and I won't even have a chance to bubble in the long river of history... Not to mention fireworks... The perverted old Luo has not been found yet, and I don't know if he is dead or alive, and my beautiful and moving sister will also follow me to stay alive and widowed... Woohoo lament, God is jealous of talents. Jiang Ming's eyes rolled, and thousands of thoughts flashed in his mind.
"Senior, I am a buddy from Yuanfang, this is the Yuan Stone that the shopkeeper entrusted me to send to the guests of Kaiyuan City, and the cultivators who came with me just went to find food, and I was the only one left here, and they came back soon. If you drop by, we might as well take care of it together. I don't know where the seniors want to go?" Jiang Ming's face was honest.
"Companion? You should be an old fool? Old Dao chased that beast all the way, the qi machine probed out, if there is any other breath here, how can you not know? You kid don't have to struggle, obediently give me the yuan stone in the baggage, Lao Dao, I will leave you a whole corpse." The old Taoist priest also smiled, as if he was talking about a pastime after tea and dinner.
"Don't give it!" Jiang Ming became angry when he saw his expression, his hands and feet loosened, and his palm violently pushed the branch that he had grabbed in his hand before, and at the same time he used all his strength to fall down the tree, and the yuan force in his body was running at full strength, and he was in a cold sweat.
"Look for death!" Lao Dao sneered, the long sword in his hand turned, and turned into a streamer of light chasing Jiang Ming.
After Jiang Ming landed, his whole body was transported to his legs, and cold sweat was on his forehead. I couldn't care about anything, and I ran wildly. After running a few steps, he felt that there was a wind stabbing in the back of his head, and he cursed in his heart, so he had to roll on the ground, so he repeated the trick. and went around behind a tree. The long sword, as it had been before, stopped a foot in front of him, turned around in front of his eyes, and stabbed straight again.
"People in the Divine Dao realm have this ability, the sword is the same as the family, and they will tremble? Could it be that this old guy has a kidney loss?" Jiang Ming keenly noticed that the movement of the long sword turning back this time was obviously more sluggish than the one just now!
The opportunity was only in a moment, and Jiang Ming's figure flashed.
"Could it be that this old guy is not strong enough and has reached the end of his crossbow? No wonder he can see a beautiful man as a gray monkey... Maybe it's not easy for the eyes..."
"Oops, I'm done!"
I only heard Jiang Ming's terrible scream in the darkness behind the tree, and there was no sound anymore.
