Chapter 5 Hidden Worries
The rune paper used to make the rune is not an ordinary thing, because it has to carry the rune patterns and rune arrays that contain spiritual power, and when it is cast, it bursts out with a power equivalent to the Five Elements Spell, so the material of the rune paper itself must also be quite strong, so all the rune paper is almost made of some spiritual materials that contain spiritual power.
Most of these spiritual materials for making rune paper are some spirit grasses, and higher-level rune paper has higher requirements for materials because it has to carry more powerful spiritual power, and sometimes even uses some spirit mines or even rare rare spiritual materials, of course, to that point, in this era when the Five Elements Magic has long been in decline, I am afraid that it has become extinct in the Hongmeng world.
However, since the materials used to make it are spiritual materials, the rune paper itself has a certain value for the monks, even if they don't need it, if they get some rune paper "by chance", they will naturally be able to find something that the merchant is willing to buy. Fifty pieces of rune paper, even the most ordinary yellow rune paper that can only make first-order runes, can also be said to be a lot of wealth for many loose cultivators who are in distress.
Shen Shiruo felt the somewhat strange atmosphere beside him, and felt a little regretful in his heart for a while, thinking that he had stayed in the demon world for too long after all, although the demon world was full of crises and often fought bloodily, but the people in the demon clan, at least the demon clan in the green snake clan, most of them were simple-minded and straight, and they could turn their faces and draw knives if they didn't agree with each other, but they rarely had any scheming. I've been in that place for a long time, and my vigilance seems to be much weaker.
At that moment, he also pretended not to know the strange gazes of the monks around him, and hurriedly calculated the price with the surprised guy behind the counter, one spirit crystal can buy five pieces of yellow rune paper, fifty rune paper is ten spirit crystals, plus two peach wood rune pens are worth one spirit crystal each, cinnabar went to another spirit crystal, and in the end, after Shen Shi bought all these materials, he paid thirteen spirit crystals at once.
The number of spirit crystals on his body went by more than half in an instant, which felt really bad, and it also made Shen Shi's heart feel a little painful, but how to say it, this is also impossible, if there is no self-defense skills, who knows what will happen to him, when he really has to face the enemy but does not have a talisman at hand, Shen Shi definitely does not want to see this situation.
It was not a comfortable feeling to be watched by prying eyes, so after Shen Shi bought these spiritual materials, he didn't have the heart to continue wandering, and he turned around and walked towards the outside of the Immortal Society shop with the cloth bag that the guy handed over to contain the talisman materials.
It stands to reason that he has a Ruyi bag hidden by his side at the moment, as long as he puts it in his hand, he doesn't have to carry it in his hand all the time, which is simple and convenient. However, Shen Shi was already a little more vigilant at this time, and at the same time, he also thought that he was still in the realm of Qi Refining Realm after all, in case someone noticed in this place where monks gathered, he could use the Ruyi bag without going to the Ning Yuan Realm, but he was afraid that he would cause a lot of trouble. So he simply pretended to have nothing, and carried it out of the gate of the Immortal Society.
Behind him, the monks watched his back gradually walk into the crowd and leave with different expressions, some walked away with expressionless faces, and some showed a little envy and jealousy, anyway, the monks who can have the financial resources to buy the spiritual materials of the talisman must not be too embarrassed, otherwise, how can you, a casual cultivator who can't even guarantee the spiritual crystal of daily cultivation, delusional touch to get involved in such a ruined way of the talisman that consumes countless resources and effort?
This young man is young, and he actually has such a net worth, it seems that he is either a child of a sect, or a descendant of a Xiuzhen family.
There is really no comparison between people...... For a moment, this old thought passed through the minds of several monks.
※※※
After walking out of the gate of the Immortal Society and leaving from the crowded and lively crowd, Shen Shi glanced around, and then walked along the street for a while, carefully observing the surroundings in the middle, and when he was sure that no one noticed him, he found a gap and walked into a secluded alley on the side of the road, and unconsciously wiped those spiritual materials directly on his waist, and then quickly entered the Ruyi bag.
It was only at this moment that he was truly relieved, Shi Shiran walked back to the street, watching the monks coming and going on the long street, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he remembered that he still didn't know where Sanchun Lou was going to meet with Ling Xiaozong's senior brother who came to pick him up in ten days, and now he just went to inquire.
Thinking of this, he walked forward again, kept looking around along the way, and did not see the house with the words "Sanchun Lou plaque", and then simply found a roadside shop, went in and asked the boss there, the boss was enthusiastic, and told him the address of Sanchun Building, it turned out that this Sanchun Building was not on this lively long street, but in the north of the city separated by two streets.
After Shen Shi thanked the boss, he came out and looked for it in the direction that the shop owner said, and after walking through two streets, he found Sanchun Building on a road near the north of the city.
The street where the Sanchun Building is located is obviously much worse in popularity than the long street where the Immortal Society is located, but he can still see many monks walking around here, Shen Shi thinks back, and feels that the number of monks in this Broken Moon City seems to be far more dense than most of the Terran cities in the Hongmeng Lord Realm in the past. Maybe it's because in this remote world, there are often many demon beasts and alien races, and the danger is far greater than that of the main realm of Hongmeng, which is not very suitable for ordinary mortals to live, but there are often various spiritual resources in the other world, which is an important reason for attracting many monks.
And Sanchun Building looks like a three-storey restaurant, and there is nothing special about the appearance, Shen Shi walked around outside this building, remembered the address, and turned to leave. There are still ten days before the Lingxiao Sect will arrive, first, it is useless to wait here, and secondly, Shen Shi has a little worry in his heart, Qian Yi is not a loose cultivation without roots, on the contrary, he is a disciple of the Xuanjian Sect who is like a fake, if he really wants to trace it back, even the Heavenly Sword Palace, one of the four righteous in the world, he can also be involved.
Shen Shi didn't regret killing that guy, but it was the Xuanjian Sect disciple and Nangong Ying who was born in the Heavenly Sword Palace who notified him that he came to this Sanchun Tower that day to wait, although it stands to reason that he had already disposed of Qian Yi's body in the forest, but Shen Shi still didn't want to stay here like this.
I hope everything goes smoothly back to the Lingxiao Sect.
He thought so in his heart, but his mood couldn't help but feel a little heavy, and he frowned slightly and turned to leave. Maybe it was because he saw Sanchun Lou and caused a few thoughts, his mind was a little apprehensive, but he didn't notice that a figure was quietly embellished behind him at some point, and it was the tall monk in the Immortal Society in front of him.
※※※
At the same time, in the nameless village outside the forest, several Xuanjian Sect disciples returned here, led by Geng Cheng, and at the same time, the other two Xuanjian Sect disciples Fu Jun and Ding He, who had searched for the Gray Lizard tribe that day, finished their work and returned here at this time, but Nangong Ying's figure did not appear again.
The three of them arrived at this abandoned and dilapidated village in the afternoon, but seeing that the sky was getting dark and dusk was approaching, the three of them looked at each other at the entrance of the village.
Geng Cheng frowned, and before he could speak, Fu Jun next to him also had a bad face, and said: "Senior brother, I also think that we are waiting for Qian Yi here, it's a bit unusual, in terms of identity, the three of us are his senior senior brothers, why do you want the three of us to wait for him together, if you really have this boring leisure time, wouldn't it be better for me to go back to Broken Moon City to cultivate?"
Geng Cheng's face was also not good-looking, and he said angrily: "Come on, don't complain." Anyway, this time I came out to do things, and it was always the four of us who came out together, and since Master chose me to be the leader, I had to take on this burden. Although Qian Yi has a strange temper, and I don't like him, he always comes out with the same disciple and brother, and he always has to go back together. ”
Ding He pursed his lips and snorted: "I think of his temperament, he really doesn't necessarily regard a few of us as brothers in the same sect, he is alone all day long, and when he sees the demon clan, it is like he is dying, and he will kill with red eyes all of a sudden, regardless of the master's explanation when he goes out this time, it is important to capture and send him to the crystal mine alive." ”
Geng Cheng sighed and said, "Who said it wasn't, the master also specially explained to him when he went out before, and we heard it at the time, but he promised it well, who knew that he got this side of Broken Moon City, and he suddenly became like this." ”
Fu Jun looked up at the sky and said, "Senior brother, it's getting dark now, how long do we have to wait?"
Geng Cheng's face showed a little anxious, and he took two steps back and forth, it seemed that he was also very impatient with that Qian Yi, but he couldn't ignore it, and said angrily: "What the hell is going on with this guy, didn't he just say that he just checked to see if there were any fish that slipped through the net, how much time can this delay, why hasn't he come back yet?"
The three of them complained here, but they were helpless, seeing that the sky was gradually getting darker, the faces of the three disciples of the Xuanjian Sect became more and more helpless, and finally Fu Jun rolled his eyes, as if he wanted to relieve his irritability, and asked Geng Cheng: "Senior brother, isn't Nangong Ying with you, why didn't you come here today?"
Ding He, who was standing on the side, had his eyes lit up, and he leaned over and said with a smile: "Hey, that Senior Sister Nangong has been staying with you, Senior Brother, isn't it ......?"
"Go, go," Geng Chengyi waved his hand and pushed this guy away, and said angrily: "Senior Sister Nangong is a disciple after all, her identity is different from ours, and she is here to practice, so it is natural that she does not want to come over after the things are done." And ......"
Geng Cheng said that he was a little hesitant in his expression, and Ding Heqi next to him said, "And what?"
Geng Cheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "I look at Senior Sister Nangong's expression that day, and it seems that I am quite disgusted by Senior Brother Qian Yi's indiscriminate killing of the Demon Clan. ”
Fu Jun said disdainfully: "That guy is a madman." ”
Geng Cheng glared at him, Fu Jun snorted, turned his head, but Ding He next to him was not concerned about this, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, to be honest, that Nangong junior sister is young and beautiful, and her Taoism is high, and this family background is not even better, if you are really fateful, it is a great beautiful thing." ”
Geng Cheng's heart jumped, but then he shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, who is Senior Sister Nangong? The leader of the younger generation of disciples of the Heavenly Sword Palace, and even the proud daughter of the Nangong family, such a character, where can we, the disciples of the lower sect, be worthy of?"
Fu Jun and Ding He were silent for a while, and after a while, they both sighed wordlessly.
Geng Cheng shook his head and said, "Okay, don't think about these things, I see that it's dark this day, and Senior Brother Qian hasn't come back yet, I always feel that something is not right, let's go into the forest to find out." ”
Ding He frowned and complained, "It's so troublesome, can I wait here?"
Geng Cheng stretched out his hand and patted his head, and scolded with a smile: "Let's go together, don't think about being lazy." Anyway, this time I also understand that this guy is not a material that can do things, and if there is this kind of thing to do tasks in the future, I will definitely not take him again. ”
Fu Jun and Ding He both had a good deal with Geng on weekdays, they all laughed when they heard the words, nodded yes together, and their mood was a little better, the three of them laughed and chatted, and slowly approached the forest together, looking for Qian Yi, who had not been seen so far.
