Forty-two, return to the mountain
Fire Tree Silver Flower, even if he had long known that all kinds of spiritual objects in the cultivation realm were strange, Meng Tongchen was still surprised when he saw such an unusual thing for the first time. It is like a miniature ancient tree, but it is about a foot long, the trunk is black and red, and it looks no different from ordinary trees on the surface, but in the eyes of the monks, its trunk contains extraordinary fire spirit power, which is extremely restrained, almost condensed into substance, but compared with other fire spirit creatures, it is much more peaceful, without half a sense of blazing, and it is no different from real wood. The flowers on its trees are incomparably pure water, but they are blooming and dazzling. The fact that the two five elements of spiritual power that restrain each other can be combined so closely is the wonder of creation.
This is the item that Song Pujia wants to exchange for Meng Tongchen's exploits, the best spiritual material, fire tree silver flower. The official name of this artifact should be called Cold Carp Cold Flame Wood. Fire tree silver flower is a general term for such a spiritual creature born of water and fire.
This is the item that Song Pujia wants Meng Tongchen to help exchange, and the valuation given by the meritorious monks is a thousand merits, because there are two similar things at the same time, so Song Pujia will be troubled by the lack of merit.
"Oh, Brother Meng, thank you so much. This kind of spiritual object with both yin and yang is of great use to me, but I didn't expect to encounter two at once. If someone picks it up, it's going to be a problem. With the two spiritual objects in hand, Song Pujia smiled very brightly. At the same time, he took off a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Meng Tongchen.
"This Guanghan Pei has a good effect in purifying the heart, breaking illusions, and resisting the attacks of the divine soul. It's just that the level of sacrifice is a little lower. ”
Guang Hanpei's shape is quite simple, the whole body is crystal clear, and the patterns on it are secretly in line with the natural mysteries, just like a miniature full moon. The aura in the jade pendant is rich, and there is a sense of coolness at a glance, and when you take it in your hand, you immediately feel that your mind is much clearer.
This is clearly a high-grade magic weapon.
"Miss Pujia, this Guanghan Pei is much more expensive than my exploits. Meng Tongchen smiled bitterly and spoke. Although I know that this girl has a deep background, this is too generous.
"This is the work that the second brother refined before, and he barely reached the top grade. Now he was embarrassed to admit that he had refined it himself, and it was not very valuable. The girl waved her hand and said it lightly, completely unaware of how amazing her words were.
The girl said easily, and Meng Tongchen had no choice but to accept the jade pendant with a wry smile. At the same time, there seemed to be a certain string in his mind that suddenly hit, and the ghost was about to ask, "Could it be that these two spiritual things are related to the three-year covenant?"
Before he could ask questions, Meng Tongchen saw six rays of light rising from the City Lord's Mansion in Starstream City, which was the search for the City Lord's Mansion that the underworld generals had also completed. I don't know what kind of secrets are important in the City Lord's Mansion, and none of the Nazhen monks are allowed to enter.
"The generals are back so soon? Looks like it's almost time to go back. Don't forget to break through to the late Nazhen stage within three years. Seeing the generals coming back, Song Pujia waved his hand at Meng Tongchen as a temporary farewell. Meng Tongchen originally wanted to ask, but he had to swallow it.
"By the way, you better be careful not to die in the fighting method halfway. It's not easy to find someone who dares to cultivate the "True Canon of Life and Death", but it would be a pity if you provoke another master of condensation and die in the hands of others. ”
seemed to remember that Meng Tongchen was targeted by Yin Chunqiu, and Song Pujia turned around after walking not far away and added such a sentence.
Is this a concern? Meng Tongchen shook his head a little helplessly.
With the appearance of the generals, the speed at which everyone can receive their rewards seems to have accelerated a lot. Soon all the monks received their rewards and boarded the shuttle under the command of the general, ready to return.
When stepping on the second shuttle prepared by Yun Xingcang, Meng Tongchen passed by this person who could be said to be the core figure of this campaign. When the two staggered shoulders, Meng Tongchen was stunned suddenly, then frowned slightly, and then stretched. But the hands in the wide sleeves were clenched so tightly that they almost pinched out blood marks on their hands.
Yun Xingcang's body was so thick that it couldn't be dissolved. Meng Tongchen didn't know how many dead people could make a condensing monk contaminate his body with this scale of dead qi, it was the first time he had encountered such a dead qi that could be clearly sensed, for other monks who had not practiced life and death exercises, this was already a level of discomfort that people could feel, and for a monk like Meng Tongchen, who was quite sensitive to life and death, it was as if he was facing a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
The 300,000 people of Starstream City. Meng Tongchen entered the cabin, found a place to sit down, and the hand that clenched his fist loosened and clenched, loosened and clenched, and repeated several times. Although he had expected it, he knew that the situation of the rest of the people in the city was not good when he saw the appearance of the shopkeeper of Qi Nan Pavilion, but now that their fate was almost in front of him, Meng Tongchen realized that he was still too optimistic.
"Feather Gate Holy Venerable. Meng Tongchen's clenched teeth drilled out these words, which were heard from the mouths of those fanatical monks, perhaps the name of the person behind the scenes. Seeing the huge pillar of light that penetrated the heavens and the earth, he understood that this time the catastrophe was definitely not something that could be done by a mere Nazhen or a Condensing Cultivator, at least a divine light, or even a Dharma master.
On Luomang Mountain, there was a faint cry. In this battle, more than 60 people were killed in the Netherworld Temple. Among them, the shuttle under the ink crow door was the first to fall, and under the surprise, the casualties were the heaviest.
Qingchen walked anxiously around the entrance of the cave, looking up into the distance from time to time, seeing that the light passing in the sky was becoming more and more sparse, and Qingchen's heart became more and more anxious.
finally saw the familiar black and white light fall to the ground, and Qingchen hurriedly greeted him.
"Master, are you okay?" This time Meng Tongchen's appearance looked better than last time, but because during the battle with Yin Chunqiu, the Taoist robe on his body almost became rags, so he changed it before coming back, and his injuries were not revealed.
Although the injury can be covered, Meng Tongchen's exhaustion is extremely difficult to cover. He waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, and then went directly back to the quiet room of the back house, and fell directly on the couch and fell into a deep sleep.
This sleep was not very peaceful, obviously feeling that the layers of blood were destroying itself, but he could not wake up, Meng Tongchen felt that he definitely didn't want to bear it again. In the dream, Shopkeeper Sun, Deacon Cheng, and everyone he had seen in Starstream City, their bodies like walking corpses, their empty eyes, and the unwilling and relieved eyes that did not break through the control until his life was gone, all deeply pierced Meng Tongchen's heart.
Meng Tongchen never thinks that he is a good person, just like this name, and light and dust are his consistent style. It's just the same dust, the same dust, but it is impossible for him to agree with the sludge. However, after more than twenty days, the originally magnificent and prosperous Starstream City has become a dead city, and he will never forgive the mastermind behind such a thing.
Finally struggling out of the nightmare, the monk's body was far stronger than ordinary people, and he had recovered, although what Meng Tongchen wanted to do most now was to retreat immediately, quickly improve his cultivation, and then go and cut off the head of the man behind the scenes. But reason told him that with his current state, it was very likely that he would go mad if he went to cultivate.
When he walked out of the quiet room, he saw Qingchen waiting at the door. The little girl's face was worried, and there seemed to be some other emotions mixed in it, but Meng Tongchen didn't have the heart to distinguish at this time. He just waved his hand to signal that he was okay, and then planned to go out.
First go to Senior Brother Liu He and ask him to help repair the blue and white double swords. Then go to the Zongmen General Affairs Hall and see what merit can be exchanged for. Those few materials are exchanged, let's give them to Senior Brother Liu, and ask him to see if he can help refine a magic weapon.
The thoughts in Meng Tongchen's mind spun quickly, but he suddenly found that Qingchen was still standing in front of him.
With a plop, the little girl knelt down in front of him.
With Meng Tongchen's decisiveness in the fighting method, he was also stunned at this time, and then he was at a loss. Although the time traveled is not short, but more than 20 years in his previous life are still vivid, how can he receive such a great gift.
"Thank you for saving the life of the servant's family. Qingchen bowed down very reverently. These words made Meng Tongchen panic and want to take her hand up for a moment. The monk's soul was strong, and his memory naturally grew, and about a month ago, the little thing that was almost the beginning of this series of things for Meng Tongchen immediately came to mind.
"Master, I don't know, not long after you went to the Shadow Palace, there were monks from the Prison Hall who searched all the caves. But if there is a search and detection of the statue of the feathered immortal, all of them will be copied and killed. If not, if not......" The little girl said this, she couldn't cry anymore, and her face was full of fear.
"It's just a trifle. Meng Tongchen stretched out his hand and touched the little girl's head. Usually Qingchen is always serious, and she is quite resistant to this kind of behavior of treating her as a child, so she won't avoid it at this time.
"I asked you to pick out a book of exercises before, but I was in a hurry last time, and I haven't had time to read it yet, so go and take it out. Meng Tongchen pulled Qingchen up, and at the same time temporarily dispelled the idea of going out.
"Okay, okay. That exercise is called "Aoki Spiritual Guiding Technique", so I'll show it to you, master. Seeing the joy on the little girl's tear-stained face, Meng Tongchen suddenly felt that the sea of blood in his suppressed heart seemed to be bright. "Anyway, I can still save some people. He muttered.
I have to admit that Meng Tongchen is never a hero, as long as the tragedy does not really happen in front of him, he can temporarily comfort himself that it may not be the worst outcome; as long as he can effectively save one or two people, he will be very happy.
"If I can't even protect the people around me, what kind of Tao can I cultivate? Meng Tongchen kept this sentence in his heart.
