Chapter 21: Red Jade Pendant
The wind whined, rustling the leaves.
The painted skin demon has disappeared, and the woman in red has been buried by Ming Cheng and Ming Zhi, piled a small grave, erected a tombstone, and buried her bones here.
The two knelt in front of the tombstone, and Xie Cheng watched quietly behind them.
"Senior sister, don't worry, the painted skin demon is dead, and your family's revenge can be regarded as revenge. Ming Zhi whispered, her face still stained with tears, apparently she had just cried.
"Senior sister, I'm sorry, I'm too weak, I can only watch you die in front of me. Mingcheng's face was full of remorse, his fists clenched, his nails embedded in his flesh, and red blood flowed out.
After a long time, the two gradually calmed down and stood up.
Ming Zhi saluted respectfully to Xie Cheng and said, "Thank you Shaoxia for saving your life, if there is anything in the future, you can go to the Willow Leaf Sword Sect in Chongfei County to find us." ”
"You just said that your name is Xie Cheng, right?" Ming Cheng came to Xie Cheng, took a deep breath, and said: "Actually, I hate you a little, hate why you didn't make a move earlier, in that case, Senior Sister would not have died."
But I know that this is my own emotional problem, you have no obligation to save us, you killed the painting demon, this is indeed a great life-saving grace, but I just can't calm down. ”
"Then what do you want?" Xie Cheng's expression remained unchanged and asked lightly.
To be honest, he also felt a little guilty in his heart, and he had a feeling that he would not be able to save himself, after all, if he had been one step earlier, he would have been able to save a life.
Therefore, he did not blame the young man's attitude.
"I want you to accept this jade pendant. Mingcheng took out a two-inch square, blood-red jade pendant with exquisite moire carvings, handed it to Xie Cheng, and said:
"This is a relic left by my sister's parents, it is the most cherished thing for her, and now I put it here for you. In three years, I will challenge you, and then defeat you and retrieve this jade pendant. ”
"You should also attach great importance to this jade pendant. Xie Cheng took the jade pendant, looked at it, and found that the moire carving on it was very superb, and it was definitely not the work of ordinary craftsmen, and said: "If you lose, you won't be able to take it back." ”
"It's about having such a sense of crisis. Ming Cheng said: "It is precisely because I regard this jade pendant as important as my life that I will put it here with you to urge me to forge ahead!"
I will definitely get it back in three years!"
What a hot-blooded boy.
Xie Cheng's heart sighed slightly, put away the jade pendant, and then said, "Okay, I'll wait for you for three years." By the way, do you know which direction Shanyang County is in?"
The purpose of asking for directions, Xie Cheng has never forgotten.
"Shanyang County?" Ming Zhi and Ming Cheng were slightly stunned when they heard this, shook their heads, and said, "I haven't heard of it, I don't know which state or county it is?"
"Huaheng County, Yanzhou. Xie Cheng elaborated.
"Huaheng County...... This neighborhood is the Kaiyun Mansion of Chixia County. Ming Zhiliu frowned slightly, thought about it, smiled bitterly, and said: "I'm afraid it's 70,000 miles away from Huaheng County, and there are many barren mountains and mountains in between, and evil ghosts and monsters are rampant. ”
Wei Ming's goods actually flew out of more than 70,000 miles in one go.
Xie Cheng secretly cursed in his heart, such a long distance, with his current foot strength, even if he didn't eat or drink day and night, and was not hindered in any way, it would take more than two months to get there.
Obviously, this is impossible, considering all kinds of unexpected circumstances, I am afraid it will take at least four months or so to reach Huaheng County.
And now it has been less than two months since the official examination of Jinyang Prefecture.
It's definitely too late.
"Is there a way to get to Huaheng County quickly?" Xie Cheng frowned and asked, it was impossible for him to abandon the Fucheng official examination.
According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, if the examiner in the last round of the official examination in Fucheng abandons the exam, he must apply for registration one month in advance, and if he abandons the exam without reason, the examiner's whole family will be exiled from the customs and cannot return within three generations.
"There are methods, but it's not easy. Ming Zhi said: "There is a human god tower in the county town, and there is a teleportation array connecting the ten counties of Yanzhou, which can travel to and from the counties in an instant. ”
Humane Tower, Teleportation Array?
These are all things that Xie Cheng has never heard of, to be precise, there is no record of these things in the Xie family, it seems that the disciples of the sect really have a lot of benefits, at least they can know many high-level things.
"I'm afraid that the teleportation array of the Humane Divine Tower in the county town is not something that can be used by anyone. Xie Cheng asked, "What conditions are needed?"
"Under normal circumstances, at least a mansion master-level official or a strong person in the True Gang Realm can be used. Ming Zhi muttered: "But there are exceptions, if the official position or cultivation does not meet the requirements, as long as you pay a thousand divine yuan, you can use the teleportation array."
By the way, benefactor, do you know what Shenyuan is?"
One thousand Shen Yuan, this is simply a huge amount of money!
The corners of Xie Cheng's mouth twitched slightly, if it was used to deduce the exercises of the divine power level, it would be able to deduce a hundred kinds!
- Previously, after the soldier returned to the Dao Palace, Xie Cheng asked the lantern envoy if he deduced the exercises of the divine power level, whether the consumption of lamp oil would increase.
The answer obtained is yes, the deduction of the divine power level of the exercise is even more enormous for Xie Cheng's spirit, in addition to the normal three deductions, each deduction needs to consume ten drops of lamp oil, that is, ten divine yuan.
"I know Shenyuan. Xie Cheng nodded, and then said with a wry smile: "However, a thousand divine yuan is really a bit more." ”
Xie Cheng didn't directly ask about the method of obtaining Shenyuan, and he found that when he showed that he knew about Shenyuan, the two people in front of him obviously had a few more fears.
It can be seen that the understanding of Shenyuan should be limited to a certain circle or class, and it is best not to ask too many questions, as if you don't know anything.
After all, the heart of defense is indispensable.
"One thousand Divine Yuan is indeed too much, and it is simply a huge amount of money for those who have not attained the Qi Dao. Ming Zhi sighed lightly, thought about it, her eyes lit up, and said:
"However, in three days, it will be the eighth day of the 11th month, and the Kaiyun Mansion will hold the 'Ukiyo Festival' event, when many nether missions will be issued there, and you can try your luck there. ”
Kaiyun House, Ukiyo-e.
Xie Cheng silently wrote it down in his heart, nodded and said, "Then thank you, where are you going next?"
"Senior sister is dead, we have to go back to the sect to report the news, and we will not be with our benefactor. Ming Zhi thought of the dead senior sister, looked a little sad, and said, "Then we will leave first." Kaiyun Mansion is three hundred miles south of this place. ”
After that, Ming Zhi and Ming Cheng left with sadness, and soon disappeared into the jungle.
They went north, but Kaiyun Mansion was in the south, not on the same road as Xie Cheng.
......
After Ming Zhi and Ming Cheng left, Xie Cheng did not go directly to Kaiyun Mansion, but stayed in the mountains for two days.
After all, he is still in a relatively unlucky state, and it is not good to go out and implicate others, according to the palm lamp envoy, this kind of death once basically only takes three days, and luck can return to normal.
Xie Cheng was a little skeptical that the previous death of the woman in red was because she was implicated by her own luck, and if she encountered this kind of thing, I am afraid it was also related to this.
In the Overworld in the future, it is still necessary to avoid death.
However, in the past two days, Xie Cheng was not idle, he deduced a set of swordsmanship and boxing techniques through some martial arts experience, as well as some experiences in his previous life.
"Tempest Sword" and "Jade Fist".
This was not too difficult for him who had already reached the level of divine power, after all, the deduction of the Enlightenment Futon was also based on his existing knowledge.
It's just that the level of the deduced exercises is more far-reaching, and it takes less time.
For ordinary exercises, Xie Cheng can also use similar ideas to deduce the performance, but it takes a long time.
"With these two martial arts used in ordinary battles, the golden bell cover is not so easy to attract attention. Xie Cheng decided his own route in the future.
After all, whether it is the divine power of flames, or the divine power of the law, or the momentum is huge, or the temperament changes are obvious, people with a discerning eye know that this is not an ordinary exercise.
If the divine power of the Admiralty is not fully exerted, the light and shadow effects, as well as the increase in momentum, are not obvious, and it is easier to hide.
If you are alone, it is better to keep your eyes on it.
