Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Four Elephants

Chen Feng was silent. This is a relatively big decision for me, and where to go and how to go for a long time in the next long time is between my own thoughts.

However, I don't have any plans to travel yet, so I'm relatively free. After thinking about it, Feiyun City is located on the border of Beizhou, and if you want to travel, you naturally have to go south, so it can be regarded as a stop.

Since Wu Deyang trusts himself, he will not be so unconfident, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, and he will definitely try his best to solve the troubles that he can solve, and if he can't solve them, he will take his own life.

But although he is a stunned young man, he is not stupid, it is convenient for him to eat and live alone, there is no burden, this Miss Wu is by her side, she is used to eating and drinking, and it is naturally difficult to settle. Moreover, there is really a master to harm Wu Wenjie, and if he walks with her, won't he be wiped out easily, and who will he find to cry out for injustice? In the final analysis, a person is still good after all, taking Wu Wenjie is like walking on the plain with a big iron stick on the top of a thunderstorm, isn't that looking for death?

Chen Feng's face was embarrassed.

Seeing this, Wu Deyang suddenly smiled: "I know that the little brother naturally has a lot of concerns, so let's do it, as long as you should deal with this matter, whether it is the beautiful maids and maids on the Nuo Dawu Mansion, or the gold and silver treasures, you can take three things, except for the treasure of my Wufu, the imperial snake gall." I will give it to you without blinking, and I will give you three thousand taels of silver tickets first, and the expenses along the way must be enough, if there is any leftover, plus one thousand taels of gold, all of them will be given to you, if it is not enough, all the expenses can be reimbursed by me again, what do you think?"

Chen Feng complained bitterly in his heart: "The co-author asked me to come to ask for the treasure of the town government? This is a big trouble, I just listened to what Wu Deyang said, and I also helped Wu Wenjie out of a bad breath, it was just a fuse that broke the relationship between the two families, and it didn't seem to have contributed much, how could I be embarrassed to ask for it? I really want to get this imperial snake gall, and I have to take over this burden." ”

"It's not impossible to ask the kid to take over this job, but the younger generation doesn't want three items, only one item. Chen Feng looked straight at Wu Deyang, who seemed to realize in an instant.

"Are you really here to ask for that imperial snake gall?" Wu Deyang was startled at first, and then stroked his beard and scolded with a smile, "Stinky boy!"

However, this general can also be regarded as a ruthless character who kills decisively on the battlefield. After lowering his eyes and thinking for a while, he said heartily:

"Cheng! As long as you can deliver Wen Jie safely to the capital, why not give you the imperial snake gall?"

Wu Wenjie's eyes widened, and she said in shock: "Dad, why do you want to give him the imperial snake gall, I really can't ask Uncle Li to send me there, that imperial snake gall is..."

"Alright, alright... Although that thing is a treasure in the world, no one in my house knows the mystery, and there is not even a capable person who can break it within a hundred miles, and staying in the house is equivalent to a medal, for you, this medal is not wanted. ”

"But ......"

"Enough. Although Wu Deyang usually dotes on this daughter, at the critical moment, he is still a big husband and a good father who can get the right attention.

Chen Feng said: "This may make the general disdainful, but the kid really just wants to take people's money to eliminate disasters for others, if the general trusts him, he can naturally entrust the eldest lady to me, but after all, the kid's ability is limited, so I dare not guarantee that the eldest lady will be unharmed during this trip, and I don't even dare to promise ......"

"Foolproof. ”

Wu Deyang said with a smile: "I asked you to do this, there is indeed no choice, some people in my house who are capable and suitable for this matter have all been filled into the barracks, and the remaining masters and the Li family's combat power are almost fifty-fifty, and they can clamp each other, so you don't have to worry about having a particularly top master to hinder you, the mountain rain is coming, then Li Zhengde is also very busy." ”

He touched his beard, and then approached Chen Feng,

"There is also a purpose of this trip, which is to sharpen Jie'er's sharpness, she has been pampered since she was a child, she can never go to the army, she has experienced wind and rain along the way, and she wants to enter the army in the future, I also have to rest assured, so the little brother does not have to have such a big pressure, as long as he is careful. ”

Chen Feng nodded, and Wu Deyang added: "But if I know that you are in danger on the road and do nothing, I ......"

He sighed.

"Forget it, come with me. Jie'er stays here. ”

An old man and a young man walked out of the study and came to a small courtyard not far away, which was Wu Deyang's residence.

He walked to the side of the bed, and in a flicker, in the complex sound of the mechanism, the bed sank, revealing the entrance to an underground passage,

"There are really a lot of secret rooms in the Martial Mansion. Chen Feng sighed in his heart.

He walked into a dry and cool space with Wu Deyang.

Here as a whole is circular, just under the Wudeyang bed, the ground is carved with complex circular lines, there are six half-person high stone platforms around, there is one in the middle, but the middle one is slightly larger, although the whole secret room is set up with torches, but not lit, at this time, all the light comes from the crystal cover on the seven stone platforms.

"I got this thing a few years ago, I don't know how to use it, it has been idle, and then I heard a monk say that using the spirit stone as a guide to lay this array, you can attract the qi in the snake gall bladder, and lead to my bed, so that you can sleep peacefully at night, so I did it, but the effect is mediocre. ”

He walked over to the stone platform in the middle, raised his right hand, and after a moment of wrapping a trace of aura around his hand, he pressed it to the crystal cover.

The golden cover was separated from the middle, and Wu Deyang took out an oval-shaped object that was also golden, about the size of a fist, with strange golden lines on it, which looked quite sacred.

"It used to be the size of two heads, but when I saw the air, it shrank rapidly, and finally it was like that. ”

Chen Feng was very curious.

"Haha, isn't it because of the reason why I am called the Dragon Slayer General by everyone. Wu Deyang saw the confusion on Chen Feng's face, and concluded that he probably hadn't learned this legend that everyone in Feiyun City had yet to understand.

"Before my thirtieth birthday, I was still a little general who was not well-known, and I was in charge of border patrols, although I also had a certain status, but at that time I was still thinking about becoming famous, and I wanted to come, or the opportunity given by God. One day when I was on a parade, the fog rose and the team lost its way, so we kept moving blindly, and by the time we realized it, we were almost in the Fulong Mountains. We were about to return when we heard something strange in the woods nearby, and a group of young and energetic people dared to investigate, but found a large snake. ”

He swallowed.

"The serpent was several feet long, and its scales were blue and black, but they were golden, and the earth shook and the trees were broken, and the timid turtles were so frightened that their legs were weak, but I saw that the beast seemed to be extremely weak, so I climbed up a big tree, and jumped on the back of the snake, and sought its seven inches. He stroked his beard, "Now that I think about it, it was really a very dangerous and unwise act, but at that time it seemed that I was really not afraid of death, but luckily, the beast really didn't seem to have any strength." Then I found Seven Inches and thrust my halberd through the gap between its two scales. ”

"Kill it?" Chen Feng wondered.

"No, I'm not even sure if I hurt it, though I'm sure I must have actually stabbed it, but the snake neither struggled nor writhed, and it didn't look like a living thing. It wasn't until the gold on his scales faded that I realized it was dead. ”

The group cheered, and I took my knife and broke open the belly of the serpent, and took out such a thing. He looked at the small blob of gold in his eyes, and there were infinite memories in his eyes.

"Later, when I returned to the army, I was known about such an incident, and the more it spread, the more I became famous, and I was known by the superiors, saying that I was brave and unparalleled, slashing the serpent angrily, and being the dragon among men, so they gradually gave me a heavy responsibility. There are also some Taoist priests who say that it is the emperor of snakes who is about to turn into a dragon, and I am killing a dragon. ”

Wu Deyang's eyes were shining.

"I was already a general when this rumor appeared, it doesn't matter if one person spreads it like this, thousands of people spread it like this, and I have the title of the dragon slaying general. Actually, it's just a dying python. ”

"Alas, it's all old things, so let's not talk about it. Wu Deyang took a delicate wooden box from the side, then packed the things in his hand and handed it to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng took it, with some emotion, and immediately bowed his head and handed it over:

"Thank you, General!"

Wu Deyang waved his hand;

"It's just a useless old object, and when it's done, I'll want to thank you. ”

"Let's go. ”

The two of them walked out of the secret room together, and the moment they stepped on the ground, the mechanism roared and shook again, and the bed rose, and there was no trace of movement.

The ingenious design of the mechanism in this house can be seen.

Chen Feng took the imperial snake gall and asked about the departure date, Wu Deyang said that the sooner the better, the best within three days, Chen Feng said that since the sooner the better, it is better to set off tomorrow, if there is anything that needs to be prepared, you can start to prepare overnight, and the battle is not big, with the financial resources and manpower of the Wu Mansion, it will not take long.

So Chen Feng went back to his residence to pack his things, he only brought a package to the house, so naturally he couldn't pack anything. The main purpose is to take advantage of the safety of the environment in the martial arts mansion to see the last time the master is seen. However, there should be something wrong with saying that the last side, Chen Feng thought to himself, it should be the last side in a short period of time.

He made sure that there was no one around, closed the courtyard door, closed the door, and then lay down on the bed, carefully placed the delicate box containing the imperial snake gall on his pillow, took out the jade pendant, opened the golden pupil and looked at it intently.

Rumble!

With the familiar pull of spiritual power, his heavy consciousness fell into the jade pendant again.

This time, it wasn't the last time he had seen it, but it was on a round altar made of stones. The altar is about ten feet long, and it has four corners protruding, and on each corner stands a stone pillar of two people holding together, which looks almost the same, but when you look closely, there are other differences:

The stone pillar in the east is carved with a cyan real dragon, with a majestic demeanor and auspicious clouds.

The stone pillars in the north are tortoises and snakes entangled, which is very mysterious.

There is a tiger descending from the mountain on the western stone pillar, and its eyes are fierce and radiant, revealing endless killing cruelty.

On the stone pillar in the south is a big bird with wings ready to fly, and below it is a raging fire that burns endlessly.

At this time, only the stone pillars in the east lit up with a faint green glow, and the rest of the stone pillars were dead gray.

Chen Feng didn't know why, he just felt amazing.

At this time, Lingzhu was standing in the center of the altar in a black dress, with her back to the direction of Chen Fenglai.

"Master, the apprentice brought the imperial snake gall. Chen Feng called softly.

"I know, look at the stone pillar on the east side, there is already a reaction. ”

Chen Feng was puzzled,

"I saw it, but it's..."

"This is my method of sublimation of flesh and qi for you. Lingzhu Zhu's lips rose slightly, and he said lightly: "Your master put forward the theory of dual cultivation of soul and body when he was young, although many people disagree with it, but I think it makes perfect sense. However, he once said that he would not accept apprentices in his life, so he had little opportunity to practice his theories and slap those who claimed to be famous in the face. ”

"It's not clear what the chance has changed, but now it seems that you, the first apprentice he received, have the opportunity to realize these theories of his. ”

Chen Feng listened quietly.

"I have already discovered before that the set of sword techniques that your father gave you can temper your blood qi, blood qi is the foundation of the body, and diligent cultivation of that set of sword techniques will make your blood qi pure and majestic, which is of great benefit to cultivation. However, it is still far from enough to cultivate the body to be strong, and it is not enough to fight against people with advanced Dao skills, and when you meet someone with rich combat experience, you will only be pulled and sharpened with brute strength, and finally be slashed by a sword. That's why we have today. ”

Lingzhu looked around, and Chen Feng also followed her eyes and looked again.

"I once said that I majored in the way of formation, which is the crystallization of your master's concept and my formation, called: Four Elephants Peiyuan Array. This was originally prepared for a master of refining the body whose qi and blood were already very pure, and the qi refining realm was absolutely impossible, but since you have a mysterious method of directly cultivating your blood and qi, you can naturally use it. It can transfer the qi and abilities in it into the cultivator's body through the external objects left over from the power of the four elephants, so that the cultivator's blood and qi can be like the four elephant divine beasts, or capture thunder and control fire, or be indestructible, and it is extremely mysterious. However, the process of integrating the power of the four elephants is very painful, not to mention, and you often have to face the residual trace of demon beast consciousness in it, and this altar is used for this. ”

"Do you want to surrender the will of the demon beast in it?" Chen Feng asked.

"I don't know. Because no one has ever practiced," Lingzhu said frankly, but Chen Feng's face was full of black lines.

"But it's certainly not easy. The four elephants, namely the Green Dragon, the Vermilion Bird, the White Tiger, and the Xuanwu, are extremely powerful and mysterious existences in this world, but I don't want you to kill these mythical beasts against the sky, as long as they are demonic beasts with the same bloodline. Therefore, I asked you to find this imperial snake gall, which is the remnant of a trace of the dragon qi of the green dragon among the four elephants. ”

She smiled.

"Although it is only a trace, it is compared to the real dragon, compared to other sporadic dragon qi, such as the wisp that Wu Deyang snatched from the scattered luck of the miserable snake, it is still the difference between a river and a stream. ”

"That big snake is actually a dragon?" Chen Feng was surprised, the rumor of the dragon slaying general turned out to be true?

"No, no, no, it's just a poor worm that has condensed all the luck and intends to turn into a Jiao, it can be considered lucky or unlucky, fortunately it successfully condensed a trace of dragon qi, and unfortunately it was eaten by this condensed trace of dragon qi and killed his life. ”

Chen Feng sighed.

"Then I will now guide a trace of dragon qi in the imperial snake gall into this jade pendant, but after the dragon qi enters the jade pendant, the snake gall will disappear, you have to be mentally prepared. ”

"Why?" Chen Feng wondered.

"That snake gall is just a lump of meat, it should have been corrupted a long time ago, but it was this trace of immortal dragon qi in it that allowed it to be preserved for so long. Once the dragon qi left, it naturally vaporized and disappeared quickly. ”

Chen Feng nodded. The spirit bead was immediately led by the jade hand.

Outside the jade pendant, the sandalwood box next to the pillow, a thin golden thread penetrated through it, and went straight to the jade pendant held in Chen Feng's hand.

Inside the jade pendant, Chen Feng saw that in the dark space, a golden pillar of light hugged by the two of them shot down in the air and fell on the stone pillar in the east, and the patterns on it immediately burst out of the golden color, and at the same time, the main space resounded with a roaring sound.

After a moment, the pillar of light stopped, but the cyan light did not disappear from the stone pillar, but the altar under his feet suddenly began to vibrate, and a big snake with two horns suddenly appeared above the altar, screaming and about to fall, Lingzhu's eyes were over, "Evil beast! ”

As soon as the words fell, the void twisted into a big hand, grabbed the seven inches of the big snake, and pressed him back to the eastern stone pillar, and the light dimmed.

Chen Feng pinched the cold sweat in his hand, he will deal with this in the future?

"The green dragon is in the gossip for the shock, Xun, in the five elements of the main wood, if you win the blood of the green dragon, you can control the power of wind and thunder, and you can deter the heart of all beasts. ”

Lingzhu said lightly, and then added:

"I'm about to proclaim myself a divine soul, this altar is cast by me with a part of the origin soul power, it can probably stay in this jade pendant for ten years, after you seize the power of the green dragon, if you meet a bloodline that is purer than this young Jiao bloodline that is less than a line of transformation success, or the bloodline of the other three elephants, you can use it to complete the ingestion. However, according to your cultivation, if you want to subdue this beast, it will be difficult to ascend to the sky..."Lingzhu's eyes flicked and looked at the stone pillar in the east, the light on it seemed to be breathing, but at this moment, it suddenly dimmed, as if he felt Lingzhu's gaze.

"In addition, I used my soul to roughly scan the characters you carried, those symbols were learned by the locals there with your master a few years ago, and they were handed down from generation to generation in their tribes, although they were different from the characters used by the Central Plains, but we also learned seven, seven, eight, and eight at that time. However, your master is only using it to show his three thousand sword intent, and it doesn't matter if the glyph is formed. I translated it for you in my spare time, and it recorded the sword technique left by the lame man, which is needed for your cultivation in the Qi Refining Realm, but I don't know anything about the way of the sword, so I can only say it bluntly to you, and you should remember it. ”

After spending three incense sticks, Lingzhu told Chen Feng the sword trick, Chen Feng recited it silently in his heart, and with his ability to never forget, he had memorized it word for word.

"I don't know when I wake up next time, and I don't know where to find your master, but the karma is scattered, there is no need to force it, I just hope that the next time I wake up and see you, you can have something ......to impress me."

"Real skills!"

"Disciple Chen Feng, thank you. Chen Feng knelt down on one knee and bowed his hands.

In front of him, the body shape of the spirit bead was blurred, and then,

Like the stars drifting away.
