CHAPTER XXIII

After lunch, Cheng Ming and Lao Liu Tou took a car to a mountain village on the outskirts of Yuesha Mansion, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has beautiful scenery, like a paradise in Tao Yuanming's novel.

After getting out of the car, Cheng Ming was surprised: "Where is this, such a beautiful scenery, why have I never seen it from any report?"

Old Liu Tou smiled and said: "This is the hermitage of a martial king, how can anyone dare to report it?"

Cheng Ming showed an incredible look on his face and asked, "Old Liu, are you not mistaken? Is it indeed the Martial King?"

Old Liu Tou laughed: "I know you will be strange, this senior's situation is a little special, he was born in the watch world, and he used special exercises to press his realm to a half-step martial king, so he was able to return to the watch world." ”

Cheng Ming thought for a while and said, "Then according to your meaning, those martial kings who were born in the Table World can use this method to come to the Table World?"

"How is this possible?" Old Liu Tou shook his head: "Let's not say that that the special exercise method is original to this senior, let's just say that after coming to the watch world, they can't do it at all, otherwise they will be rejected by the whole world, and they will seriously lose their lives." ”

"In addition, just like this senior, after coming to the watch world, he can no longer practice, do you think there will be any martial king who is so stupid and will do this?"

Cheng Ming asked with some curiosity: "Then why did this senior return to the watch world?"

Old Liu Tou said: "Because when he went to a ruin a few decades ago, he was plotted and was highly poisoned, although it was temporarily suppressed, it could not be eliminated no matter what. Finally, after research, he found that this poison could only spread easily in places where the aura was thin. That's why I found a way to come to the watch world. ”

Cheng Ming was stunned, but. That being the case, it's not better in the city. Why did he live in a mountain village? But when he sensed it again, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. It turned out that although the aura in this place was relatively sufficient, it was bypassed before reaching the middle dwelling.

Old Liu Tou smiled slightly: "I feel it." ”

Cheng Ming nodded, and then said: "Old Liutou, then what is the matter with you bringing me to visit him, it won't be because of his poisoning, right?"

Old Liu Tou smiled: "I think it should be about the same, but I don't know what the specific thing is." ”

Cheng Ming shrugged his shoulders: "Whatever." Anyway, with my strength, I can't do anything that is too difficult. ”

While the two were talking, they walked to the house and knocked on the door, and saw a big man with a tiger's back open the door, and when he saw the momentum of the big man, he knew that he should be at least a martial artist.

Seeing Lao Liu Tou and Cheng Ming, the big man grinned and said, "Old Liu Tou, you are here, this is Cheng Ming, right?"

Through the introduction of Lao Liu Tou just now. Cheng Ming knew that this person was a disciple of that senior, named Ning Jitong, and he was indeed a martial sect, mainly responsible for the safety of that senior. After all, the most important thing in these years is the young people.

Cheng Ming hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

Old Liu Tou laughed a few words and asked, "How is the situation of Yi Lao?"

Speaking of his teacher, Ning Jitong's face was filled with sadness. He sighed and said, "The situation is a little not optimistic. ”

Hearing this, a trace of worry flashed in Lao Liu's eyes, and then he and Cheng Ming followed Ning Jitong into the house.

A moment later. Cheng Ming followed Ning Jitong into a dense and unventilated room. Although there was a faint scent of sandalwood wafting in the room, you could still vaguely feel a hint of sweetness. It can be seen that the owner of the house is indeed deeply poisoned.

The things in the room were very simple, except for a bed, there was only a desk and a few chairs, and the owner of the house was sitting at the desk, looking intently at an ancient book.

Hearing the sound of everyone's footsteps, the owner of the house raised his head and said with a smile: "Chengyun, you are here!"

Speaking of this, he looked at Cheng Ming again and asked, "This must be the son of Dazhi, and he is indeed the dragon and phoenix among people." ”

Cheng Ming hurriedly stepped forward to meet and won the award, and only then did he see the whole picture of the owner of the house.

The owner of the house looked to be about eighty or ninety years of age, with a white beard and a kind eyebrow, but he described it as a withered and pale face, as if he were about to die.

Invited Lao Liu Tou and Cheng Ming to sit down, and the owner of the house said with a smile: "Cheng Ming, Cheng Huan should tell you about the old man's situation, right?"

Cheng Ming nodded and said that he knew, this old man's name was Yihuazheng, and he was the elder of Dan Xinju, and it could be known from the name that this Dan Xinju was a sect that was good at alchemy, and although it was not a large sect in the world, it was also famous.

The relationship between this Dan Xinju and the inner world is very good, and this Yihuazheng has also taught the alchemy of Cheng Dazhi before. Because of this, Lao Liu Tou brought Cheng Ming over, and Cheng Ming had no resistance to helping.

Yihua Zheng smiled: "Then let's get down to business, the reason why the old man called you over is because he wants you to do me a favor." ”

Cheng Ming said solemnly: "Yi Lao, if you say anything, I will definitely do my best!"

Yihua Zheng said: "The old man wants to ask you to obtain a spiritual treasure-level elixir in Xiaoqing Realm, Xuanfeng Grass. ”

"What!" Old Liu Tou exclaimed in surprise, and said hurriedly: "Yi Lao, this Xuanfeng Grass should be in the Fire Demon Valley, it is said that it takes Wuzong to enter and exit safely, if you let Cheng Ming in, will it be too dangerous?"

Yihua Zheng waved his hand: "Chengyun, your concerns The old man understands, the old man has a fire avoidance bead here, and he should be able to spend three days safely in the Fire Demon Valley, if he can't get the Xuanfeng Grass by then, then it will only be the old man's life." ”

Speaking of this, Yihuazheng looked at Cheng Ming and asked what he meant.

Cheng Ming pondered for a moment and said, "Yi Lao, I can agree to this, but there is a way that the emperor is not a hungry soldier, should you always mean it?"

Yihua Zheng laughed: "Okay, the old man likes to deal with happy people, in this way, whether it is successful or not, the old man will let people go to say hello to the Golden Crow faction, so that they can't be bullied, as for the rest, the old man can't help you, after all, the Golden Crow faction has killed a martial artist, and he always wants to ask you for face." ”

Hearing this, Cheng Ming looked at Lao Liu. Lao Liu Tou spread his hands: "I just learned about this, half a month ago." The Golden Crow faction and the Cheng family turned their faces because of some things, so what I said. It definitely doesn't work for the Golden Crows. ”

Cheng Ming was speechless, he didn't expect Yu Shibai to come to find trouble yet, and the Jin Crow sent it to become a big trouble.

"Then they won't threaten me with my parents, right?" Cheng Ming asked a worried question.

Lao Liu Tou said: "Don't worry, the Jinwu faction is a decent family after all, and they won't do such a trivial thing." Besides, you think my old Liu Tou is a vegetarian!"

Yihua Zheng also said: "You can rest assured of this, if this kind of thing really happens, if the old man is still there, he will definitely not sit idly by." ”

Cheng Ming immediately expressed his gratitude. But there is a way to ask for others rather than for yourself, and he is even more eager to refine the One Qi Yang Yuan Dan as soon as possible.

Yi Huazheng continued: "In addition, if you can get the Xuanfeng Grass, in addition to giving you three bottles of high-grade quenching bone pills, the old man can also promise you a request within his ability. ”

Cheng Ming didn't know what the effect of this bone quenching pill was, but he thought that it was nothing more than for body forging, and he had the Daluo Celestial Body Technique, and it didn't matter if there was this pill or not, so. He made a request that was very important to him right now.

So, he opened his mouth and asked, "Yi Lao, I don't know if you have Wang Tianpox, Tiger Skin Bamboo or Six Divine Ginseng?"

Yihuazheng was a little surprised: "What kind of medicinal herbs are Wang Tianhua and Tiger Skin Bamboo, the old man really hasn't heard of it before." ”

Wait for Chengming to introduce the situation of these two medicinal materials a little. He shook his head: "The old man really hasn't seen these two medicinal herbs, so I'll let someone inquire about it for you." As for the six ginseng, I can get it for you. But it may take a little longer, about half a year. ”

Cheng Ming hurriedly expressed his gratitude. As for the fact that he didn't mention the Heavenly Dragon Vine, it was because the Heavenly Dragon Vine was the companion elixir of the Xuanfeng Grass. It's just that there must be Xuanfeng Grass if there is Tianlong Vine, and there is Xuanfeng Grass but not necessarily Tianlong Vine, so he didn't mention it.

Yihua Zheng laughed and said, "Looking at your appearance, you are very sure about this matter!"

Cheng Ming smiled: "It's up to people." And I've heard my father say before you think ahead of you and you can't get anything done. Although this sentence is somewhat absolute, it is not without reason. ”

"That's true, if it weren't for the old man's foresight, he wouldn't have ended up like this. ”

Yihuazheng sighed, and then said, "Forget it, don't talk about it, I don't know what other questions you have?"

Cheng Ming asked, "Elder Yi, I heard that the environment of Xiaoqing Realm changes every time, so how can I find that Fire Demon Valley?"

Yi Huazheng said: "The old man has already asked people to calculate the location of the Fire Demon Valley, if there is a result, the old man will give you the address before you enter the Xiaoqing Realm, and if you can't calculate it, he will also give you the way to find the Fire Demon Valley." ”

Cheng Ming nodded, and asked again: "Elder Yi, take the liberty of asking, wouldn't I be the only one who went to look for Xuanfeng Grass that day?"

Yihuazheng gave an appreciative look: "That's true, but you are the only one in the watch world, as for the others, they are all selected and contacted by the sect, and the old man will give it to you when the list comes." However, the old man gives you a piece of advice, this little Qingjing is not safe, so it is recommended that you be careful. ”

The meaning of Yi Zhenghua's words, Cheng Ming immediately heard it, it was nothing more than a sinister heart, let him be careful of other martial artists. Moreover, for the same task, there is only one cockatiel grass, and if he gets it, maybe someone will kill people and take the treasure.

Next, Yihuazheng said some precautions for Xiaoqingjing, and Cheng Ming remembered them one by one.

After chatting for a while, Yi Huazheng's face showed fatigue, which was very incredible for a martial king, it can be seen that the poison has penetrated into his internal organs, in Yi Huazheng's words, if he misses this opportunity, even if he gets the Xuanfeng grass for a month at night, he will be helpless.

Coming out of the mountain village, Lao Liu Tou said with some dissatisfaction: "I said that you kid won't think that with the help of your demon beast, you killed a martial sect, and there is no one in your eyes." Do you know that when a strange treasure was born in the Fire Demon Valley, a genius like you who crossed the level and killed the Martial Sect killed three of them!"

Cheng Ming said with a smile: "Old Liutou, of course I know the danger, but this is also something that can't be helped, among the elixirs refined for my parents, there is a Lingbao-level elixir called Tianlong Vine, which is the companion species of Xuanfeng Grass, so even if it is dangerous, I have to give it a go." ”

Seeing Cheng Ming say this, Lao Liu Tou didn't know what to say, he pondered for a moment and said, "Then you won't tell me earlier?"

Cheng Ming was slightly stunned, he had really arrived before, but he didn't blame him, this prescription was a product of the cultivation realm after all, he subconsciously felt that the medicinal materials in it were difficult to find in this world, so he didn't think about asking others, but he didn't expect Yihuazheng to actually know the Six Divine Ginseng, and he could help him find it, it was really unexpected.

Old Liu Tou snorted coldly: "I have nothing to say, I can see it, you kid likes to bury everything in your heart." There are some things that people can do for you, why don't you know how to speak?"

Cheng Ming smiled, didn't speak, and said in his heart: "The key is that I have too many secrets, if it is known, it will be a catastrophe." ”

Old Liu Tou shook his head, and then said, "Let's talk about what other medicinal materials there are, maybe I can help you find them." ”

Cheng Ming smiled: "Just opened the ones I said, I can buy the others myself." ”

"Hmph!" Old Liu Tou glared at Cheng Ming again, and said: "This time you took over the task of Yi Lao, you have to be more careful, this Xuanfeng grass is not an elixir comparable to the earth treasure level, if you get it and are known, many people will come to hunt you down." ”

Cheng Ming lowered his posture and said, "Understood, I don't know if you have anything else to explain?"

"After entering, be careful of the people of the Golden Crow Sect, you killed one of their Martial Sects, unless you become a Martial King, otherwise they will definitely not give up. In addition, the people of Wind and Fire Island also have to be careful, and there are also people from the Cheng family and the Jiang family......"

Hearing this, Cheng Ming asked in surprise: "Could it be that the people of the Cheng family and the Jiang family also want to kill me quickly?"

Although he also hates the Cheng and Jiang families in his heart, except for some people, he will not beat everyone to the end.

Lao Liu Tou said: "After all, your surname is Cheng, and the people who become a family should have a smaller opinion of you, but a family like a big family, of course, infighting is indispensable, and your father offended a lot of people at the beginning, so they are likely to find trouble with you, as for whether they will kill you, it depends on your luck." ”

"As for the Jiang family, they already hold a grudge because of your parents' elopement, and Jiang Yuyan almost killed your mother at the beginning, do you think they will want to see you grow up?"

"Then let them come and try it!" Cheng Ming smiled coldly, a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes. (To be continued......)
