Chapter 12: The Traveler
Che Gong Gong, Ma Xiao Xiao.
The sky is as clear as a wash, and there is not a trace of clouds. Two large eagles hung high in the void, like flies embedded in amber, and their bodies did not move in the slightest. It was only a few long, high-pitched cries that made it clear that they were still alive.
It had just rained a few days ago, and more than a foot of mud had accumulated on the road leading to Xiaomengcheng. Although the weather was clear, the mud was not dried. The wheels and hooves of the horses were stuck in the mud that was not soft or hard, and it took a lot of force to advance every foot.
The intense rì light smoked the mud, and a disgusting, strange smell filled the air around it. All kinds of rotten breaths are hot in the sun, like rotten meat fermented in a wine urn, and the viscous smell seems to drill into the body along the pores of people, and it is indescribably uncomfortable.
A group of 200 riders surrounded seven gilded carved chariots, and slowly marched slowly on the dirt road with difficulty. Occasionally, a few horses would slive their hooves to the side and take a few steps, always drawing angry accusations and curses from the knight on their backs, and even a grumpy knight would whip the mounted mount twice.
The seven cars are extremely luxurious, and the first six cars are all four-horse carriages, which are towed by four snow-white horses.
The largest cart at the rear, however, had no wheels, and was hovering three feet above the ground, dragged by four sturdy rhinoceros. The four rhinoceos are all different species, their dark skin is dotted with green spots, and the three curved horns on their heads are dotted with silver-white glow, which is incomparably majestic and spiritual.
The lavishly furnished vehicle hovering off the ground is simply a spacious bedroom.
A soft couch, a long table, two bookshelves, four bronze incense burners placed in the corners of the carriage, thick carpets and various jīng furnishings. Although it is a journey, it can also give people the ultimate luxury. 、
Lu Chengfeng sat behind the long case with his cloak scattered, barely opened his blank eyes, and stared blankly at the low-grade magic weapon Xiao Bingchen Spirit Lantern in front of him. The fist-sized, purple gold cast spirit lantern shaped like a toad, slightly open mouth spewed out a strand of red flame as fine as a hair, a small ball of soybean-sized silver pith, floating in the flame and slowly melting.
Although this piece of silver pith is small in size, it is the silver jīng pith that Lu Chengfeng spent three hundred catties of silver to refine easily, and it contains a trace of the golden gas of the West. Because of the relationship between the grade of silver and Lu Chengfeng's cultivation, the essence of the silver chalcedony contained in the Taibai jīng qi is very weak, very thin, and the grade is extremely poor, but after all, it is the qi of Taibai.
The inferior magic weapon Xiao Bingchen Spirit Lamp, this is a treasure that Lu Chengfeng obtained after exhausting all his net worth, as long as it is embedded in the spirit stone of the fire genus, it can spew out a wisp of Shaoyang True Fire. Of course, if the cultivation is enough, relying on his own true qi, he can also stimulate the spiritual lamp to emit true fire, but Lu Chengfeng's cultivation is obviously not at that level.
The flames that rely on spirit stones are not very powerful, and they are extremely unstable. Such a piece of silver jīng pith has been smelted for seven hours, but it has only melted ninety percent of nine, and the last trace of the most important marrow containing Taibai jīng qi is difficult to completely smelt.
Glaring at his eyes, Lu Chengfeng gritted his teeth and made a ruthless gesture, his hands formed a seal, his heart bit his teeth fiercely, and a mouthful of jīng blood sprayed towards the spirit lamp. I could only hear the sound of the 'whirring' wind, and the flames on the spiritual lamp suddenly flourished, from as thin as a hair to as thick as a match, and the silver chalcedony floating in the flames suddenly melted and turned into a translucent silver sè liquid bead.
Lu Chengfeng was ecstatic, he hurriedly grabbed a triangular stone pillar with the thickness of a baby's arm that he had prepared at hand, and carefully grabbed a purple gold tweezer with his right hand, and picked and pulled at the silver liquid bead.
An extremely thin silver thread was pulled out of the liquid bead, and the shiny silver thread floated in the air like a phantom.
Lu Chengfeng didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly pulled the silver thread to inlay the lines that had been carved on the stone pillar. He was busy with his hands, the tweezers were constantly pulling, pulling, lifting, and pointing, and the three simple golden knife-shaped talismans on the stone pillar and the twelve talisman tails connected to the talisman were gradually filled with silver light.
Because of the proficiency, the silver thread was broken three times during the inlay process, leaving the carved talisman and the talisman tail array with a few flaws. But everything went well, and the rune array on the stone pillar was finally completed, and it did not become a waste array.
Three mung bean-sized earth xìng spirit stones were inlaid with silver pidony silk in the core of the golden knife-shaped talisman, Lu Chengfeng dropped the tweezers, held the stone pillar with both hands and muttered a few incantations, and slowly injected the true power into the stone pillar, triggering the magical power contained in the talisman.
After carving the talisman of the metal xìng, the talisman array was stimulated with the earth xìng spirit stone, and a formation pile used to arrange the 'Tai Bai Jin Knife Array' was successfully made.
The Tai Bai Jin Sword Formation is a heptane metal xìng formation. Using the earth xìng stone pillar as the foundation, and using the five elements of earth and gold, to trigger the qi of the tai platinum jīng in the silver pith, and turn it into a golden knife to attack the enemy, this is an entry formation used by low-level cultivators to protect the cave and themselves.
With Lu Chengfeng's cultivation at the peak of the day after tomorrow, it is not easy to refine the Tai Platinum Sword Array, and to be able to gather the raw materials for refining the Tai Platinum Sword Array.
'Giggle' a few strange laughs, Lu Chengfeng took out two identical array piles from the lowest-grade storage bag beside him, looked at the three array piles shining with a faint silver light in his hand, and fell heavily to the sky on the soft couch.
"Hey, hey, little Mengcheng army. This kind of city, which is attacked by barbarians every two or three years, basically has to kill a group of officials in 3578 years. Sending me here, an eyesore, means leaving me to fend for myself, right?"
Laughing a few times self-deprecatingly, Lu Chengfeng clenched the three array piles, and a touch of madness suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"But I'm not willing! I, Lu Chengfeng, will definitely not die here! Sooner or later, I will go back to the Lu family in Liyang with dignity, and let you dog breeds know me Lu Chengfeng!"
With his hands tightened, Lu Chengfeng let out a low roar like a wounded tiger.
The soundproofing of the carriage was excellent, and the riders outside the carriage did not hear the movement in the carriage.
Packing up the three array piles, Lu Chengfeng hurriedly turned off the Xiao Bingchen Spirit Lamp, and cherished it close to his body. Slightly lifting the curtain of the car, and looking coldly at the two hundred escort knights accompanying him, Lu Chengfeng shook his head mockingly.
These two hundred guard knights were all tall and handsome, and the armor and weapons on their bodies were all rare jīng good weapons. But this group of straw bales is all face-saving goods. There are two hundred guards, and none of them have broken through the ten-year realm with their internal strength, and Lu Chengfeng, who is at the peak of the day after tomorrow, is confident that one person can defeat fifty of them at the same time, and if he puts on a Tai Platinum Sword Formation, he can slaughter this group of wastes in the blink of an eye.
This is the guard that the family sent to him, and he has to rely on them to open up a world in Xiaomengcheng, a ghost place with poor mountains and bad waters?
A burst of evil anger rushed in his heart, Lu Chengfeng suddenly lifted the curtain, and spit a mouthful of thick phlegm on the face of a knight by the car window, and roared viciously: "Get out of my son, get out, get out!
The knight jumped down from his mount in fright, grabbed the reins of his mount, pulled his mount and ran to the side.
Although it is an eyesore of the Lu family in Liyang, Lu Chengfeng still has the power of life and death over these knights, and even the families of these knights and even their relatives, the life and death of their relatives of the nine clans are in the hands of Lu Chengfeng. In the face of the angry Lu Chengfeng, who of these knights dared to say more?
Hysterically venting his anger, Lu Chengfeng gritted his teeth and walked out of the carriage, stood beside the driver who was driving, and stared blankly at the two big eagles above his head, which were almost suspended in the air.
After pondering for a long time, Lu Chengfeng asked indifferently: "Xiao Hei, how far is Xiao Mengcheng?"
The driver was a dark-skinned man with a height of nearly a foot in the car. Hearing Lu Chengfeng's question, a gentle smile appeared on the hideous ugly face of the black man with scars, and he replied respectfully: "Childe, there are still two hundred miles, which is Xiaomengcheng." ”
Smiling and patting Xiao Hei's thick and powerful, rock-like broad shoulders, Lu Chengfeng smiled: "Work hard, you must rush to Xiaomeng City today." ”
In a carriage in front, a short, shriveled old man who was also covered in darkness got out of the carriage tremblingly, jumped out of the carriage with a bowl of nǎi water, and came to Lu Chengfeng's car. Bi respectfully raised the nǎi bowl, and the old man smiled: "Childe, you have stayed up late again, let's enter a bowl of human medicine!"
Lu Chengfeng glanced at the gilded bowl in disgust, shook his head and took the bowl, and drank all the nǎi water.
A strong smell of medicine rushed to his throat, and Lu Chengfeng almost didn't spit it out. He endured the discomfort and quietly felt the heat flow that slowly rose after the nǎi water entered his abdomen.
Although it is the human medicine he hates the most, he must admit that without this human medicine, where would Lu Chengfeng have the jīng power to complete three formation piles in a row?
Jīng selects women who are still in the feeding period, forces them to take a large amount of various elixirs, and then uses secret methods to force the most jīng Hua part of the elixir into their rǔ glands, and secretes them together with the mother rǔ, which is the so-called human medicine. This tonic method is very popular among the family, and it is said to be the most effective way to remove harmful ingredients from the elixir.
Lu Chengfeng hated this kind of human medicine, but he had to take them, otherwise he wouldn't be able to complete the formation, and he wouldn't have the confidence to fight in Xiaomeng City at all.
Handing the bowl to the old man, Lu Chengfeng sighed lightly and just shook his head.
He whispered to himself: "After all, I am also a piece of meat in your womb, why do you treat me like this? Why do you have to put your sins on me? Why do I have to be so hard to force those dog breeds to be the brother of your mother?"
Before the words fell, the two big eagles in the air suddenly let out a sharp eagle cry.
In a small bush beside the road, there was a sudden banging sound.
With the sound of a bowstring, one hundred and fifty powerful crossbows sprang out of the trees like frenzied wasps.
Lu Chengfeng's two hundred guards were already stunned, and more than seventy of them were hit by the crossbow and fell from their horses.
Fifty people dressed in tight black, even their heads and faces were covered by black cloths, leaving only a pair of black-clothed men with their eyes exposed, holding long knives, rushed out like a gust of wind.
The black-clothed man who led the team pointed at Lu Chengfeng and shouted, "Up, chop off his left hand!"
As soon as the words 'chopped off his left hand' entered his ears, Lu Chengfeng's white face was suddenly covered with a layer of hideous murderous aura.
"Are you really trying to force me to come here?"
The miserable howl continued to sound, and Lu Chengfeng's guards collapsed at the touch of a button, and in the moment of two snaps of his fingers, more than thirty people were beheaded under the horse.
The other guards let out a burst of exclamation, instinctively turned their mounts, and fled in all directions.
Lu Chengfeng's hands and backs of his hands were bruised, and his body shook violently.
The man in black had already rushed in front of him.
Comrades, try to smash the votes!
