Many days passed, and Zhao Zheng and Xuan Mie had already left Qibao County. In the early morning of that day, Zhao Zheng got up early. Seeing that Xuan Mie hadn't gotten up yet, he found a secluded place and entered the "Nawu Quiet Room"
Among them, today’s first practice begins.
Before entering this dungeon, you can choose to transfer the items in the warehouse to the dungeon. This is the biggest difference between this dungeon and Kongming Jingshi. Under Zhao Zheng's adjustment, several bright silver ingots were brought in.
Zhao Zhengduan sat in the octagonal blue room, placing several silver ingots in front of him, changing his gestures repeatedly, making a snapping sound when the wind passed by his palms, and finally pointed his fingers at one of the silver ingots. His internal energy flowed from his fingers.
It spat out and landed on the surface of the silver ingot. After a moment, a very faint silver light was seen floating from the silver ingot, and slowly poured into his fingertips along the channel created by the internal force.
These silver rays are the golden element, one of the six spiritual elements, which represents hardness and edge. Most of these spiritual elements are contained in metal objects.
As precious metals, gold and silver all contain gold elements, but they contain less gold, which is not ideal when used for cultivation.
Zhao Zheng has not yet been able to refine the Gengyang Golden Pill, which contains a large amount of gold, so he can only use ordinary gold and silver as cultivation materials for the time being. After he refines the Gengyang Golden Pill, he will discard these gold and silver.
Lin Jiyuan once gave him most of the materials for refining the Gengyang Golden Pill, but they only lacked the "Linglong Stone" material. Lin Jiyuan didn't know where to find the "Linglong Stone", but he knew it very clearly.
Linglong stone is produced in several mines in Nanfan Province, and the output is very rare. These mines are controlled by a small sect called "Qishimen". This place is located on Zhao Zheng's walking route.
The local area can pay to purchase Linglong Stone.
There are many difficulties in cultivating the Nine Meridians and Six Yuan Meridians, but the benefits are obvious. Once a large amount of gold is softened in the inner force, the nature of the inner force will change and become sharper. Even when fighting with bare hands, it can emit energy.
An attack with a slashing nature. If you practice to a high level, you can even cut gold and jade with your bare hands!
If you fight with a weapon, this advantage will become more obvious, the weapon you wield will become sharper, and the internal force exerted can also extend further, increasing the attack range.
If two warriors with the same level of cultivation fight, and one uses ordinary internal energy and the other uses six-yuan internal force, then the one who uses six-yuan internal force will definitely have the upper hand.
After some slow absorption, most of the gold yuan in the silver ingot flowed into Zhao Zheng's body. The silver ingot then darkened a lot, losing the luster that silver should have, and became like an iron block.
Zhao Zheng put all the Jin Yuan into his Dantian, crushed it with the internal force of the human element, and turned it into extremely tiny particles, which were integrated into the body. Among the six internal forces, the human element of the spirit of heaven and earth is the main one, and the human element is the main component.
Control the other five spiritual elements to complement each other and form a whole.
Although the amount absorbed this time was extremely small, it still played a certain role, making his internal strength contain a trace of gold. Practicing martial arts always requires hard work, even the top martial arts in the world are no exception.
It takes a lot of arduous training to bring out the true power of this high-grade martial arts. It can be said that there is no fragrance of plum blossoms without a chill to the bones.
After practicing, Zhao Zheng exited the dungeon feeling refreshed and walked back to the roadside from the forest.
Xuan Mie had woken up at this time and was torturing himself while eating. He raised one leg above his head, held it with his hand, held a raw potato with the other hand, and ate it with the skin.
.He only eats half a potato every day, a few bites in the morning, a few bites at noon, and then stops eating in the afternoon, maintaining the habit of not eating after lunch.
"Master, are you interested in dining with me?" Zhao Zheng asked casually with a smile.
"Oral desire is also a kind of sexual desire, and the poor monk does not want to be disturbed by it." Xuan Mie recited a Buddha's name and then replied.
Zhao Zheng had long known that Xuan Mie would not agree, so he didn't take it seriously. He opened his luggage, took out dry food, and ate his own food.
After eating, the two of them went on the road together, riding horses along the cold, dry road. Zhao Zheng's riding posture was very ordinary, but Xuan Mie's riding posture was much weirder.
Xuan Mie did not sit on the horse, but stretched out his hands to press on it, stretched his legs backwards, forming an almost 180-degree bend, hooked the reins with his toes, and controlled the horse to move forward.
This difficult movement is no different from juggling. It is difficult for even a martial artist to do it, let alone an ordinary person.
Xuan Mie, like other ascetics, learned yoga. In the process of twisting the limbs, he not only tortured himself, but also subtly improved his martial arts. This kind of martial arts is a kind of miraculous skill, and few people practice it.
, but if it is practiced well, its power is not small.
While walking on the road, Zhao Zhengxian was extremely bored, so he started talking and asked: "Master, did you get married before you became a monk?"
"I married a married woman," Xuan Mie replied.
"Have you ever given birth to a child?"
"I was born, but died shortly after birth."
"What a pity." Zhao Zheng shook his head slightly.
"At that time, I had not yet come into contact with Buddhism, and my virtue was not good enough, so I could not keep this child. Over the years, I often recited Buddha's prayers to him, hoping that he could get rid of the suffering of reincarnation as soon as possible." Xuan Mie's expression was as usual, not because of any reason.
Feeling depressed when mentioning sad things.
"Besides your wife and children, do you have any relatives at home?"
"Both parents are here."
"Since you have so many family members, did they stop you from becoming a monk before you became a monk?" Zhao Zheng was very curious.
"I tried to stop them, but I didn't listen to their advice."
"You must be filial to learn Buddhism, but you left home despite your parents' obstruction, and you didn't stay with your parents these years. Does that count as unfilial?"
"I cannot fulfill my small filial piety, but I can fulfill my great filial piety."
"How do you say this?"
"Staying with my parents and waiting for them to die well can only fulfill my filial piety in this life, which is small filial piety. If I practice perfection and become a Buddha, I can save my parents, free them from the suffering of reincarnation forever, and enjoy eternal happiness. This is
Great filial piety. I gave up small filial piety and chose great filial piety. My parents will not understand me for the time being, but when I become a Buddha, they will understand me."
"It turns out that this is what monks think." Zhao Zheng stopped talking because he was incompatible with Xuan Mie's ideas and any further discussion would have to trigger a debate.
The two walked forward for a while, and a wisp of smoke floated faintly on the horizon. It was obvious that someone was lighting a fire to cook food.
Zhao Zheng was tired of chatting with the ascetic monk Xuan Mie about Buddhism all day long, and was happy to find another group of people to go with him. He accelerated his horse and rushed to the front, wanting to see whether this group of people was going north or south.
.
On the left side of the road, a group of five people were sitting around a burning stove, scooping out gruel in bowls. Among the five people, there were four men and one woman. All the men were strong and wore weapons at their waists. The only woman had a graceful figure.
The eyebrows are sad and have a special kind of beauty that hurts spring.
When Zhao Zheng saw these five people, his eyes immediately locked on the woman, and he blurted out: "Miss Haitang?"
That woman was Miss Haitang. When she heard this, her wrists trembled slightly, she straightened up her body, looked at Zhao Zheng, and said in surprise: "Mr. Zhao, I didn't expect to meet you here."
"I'm also surprised. It's such a coincidence. Why are you here?" Zhao Zheng was overjoyed and drove his horses to the side of the five people.
The four big men who were traveling with Haitang each looked at each other, exchanged glances, put down their bowls and chopsticks, and stood up one after another.
Haitang saluted Zhao Zhengyingying and replied: "The little girl was lucky enough to meet a good man, and he redeemed my body. I am now a free man. After leaving Baihua Pavilion, it is not convenient for me to stay in Qibao County."
, so I plan to go south to settle in Nanshan Province and start a new life."
Zhao Zheng suddenly realized that Haitang would appear here and was directly related to him.
It's right to think about it. After all, Haitang is a firework girl. She has a bad reputation. After redeeming herself, she will naturally have to leave Qibao County and go to a brand new place. If she wants to move, compared to the cold Beiju Province, Nanjing has a pleasant climate.
It is better to save money.
"Congratulations to you, you can live a free life from now on." Zhao Zheng said with a smile.
"Yes, thanks to that kind person who didn't want to be named for helping me. I don't know who he is and why he wanted to redeem me. If I know his identity, I must thank him." Haitang.
He showed a rare smile.
"He didn't reveal his name, probably because it was inconvenient."
"Well, I heard from my old mother that he covered his face with a black scarf and looked mysterious."
This mysterious person was Zhao Zheng himself. He laughed secretly in his heart, changed the topic and asked: "Miss Haitang, what are your plans after moving to Nanfang Province?"
"You should change your name. Haitang is just my stage name in Baihua Pavilion. My real name is Xu Hong. You can just call me Xu Hong from now on. I no longer use the stage name Haitang."
"Okay, I will call you by your real name from now on."
"I don't have any clear plans yet. I'll wait until I get to Nanfang Province to take another step." Xu Hong picked up the topic and answered.
"I see, this road is not peaceful. Let's go together. If we encounter any trouble, we can take care of each other." Zhao Zheng suggested that he would be happy to give Xu Hong a gift. It would be best.
Being able to watch Xu Hong live a new life in a new place with my own eyes.
"This couldn't be better." Xu Hong happily agreed.
"You've been talking to the two of us for a while, but you haven't introduced these eldest brothers to me yet." Zhao Zheng's eyes wandered and fell on the other four people. This was the first time he had seen these people and they felt very strange.
"It's a long way from Qibao County to Nanfan Province, and it's not safe for me to travel alone, so I hired these bodyguards to protect me. They are all bodyguards from Qibao County's 'Tiandi Bodyguard Bureau', and they all have extraordinary skills. You guys know each other."
"Xu Hong introduced.
In Qibao County, the most famous escort agency is the Ping An Escort Agency. The Tiandi Escort Agency is not famous, and there are no major tasks related to it in the game.
Zhao Zheng recalled everything in his mind, but couldn't find any impression. He guessed that this was a newly opened escort agency, so he clasped fists with the four of them and said, "Zhao Zheng, I have met all of you brothers. Do you know your names?"
"My name is Zhou Kui. I am the eldest among the brothers. I am responsible for the escort mission this time. I see that Mr. Zhao, you have a sword on your waist. You must be a warrior. I will rely on your help on this journey." Si
The leader of the group, the man, clasped his fists and returned the salute. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth. He was a very kind-faced man. He had a flower gun with a white stem and red tassels at his feet.
The other three escorts also introduced themselves one after another and were quite polite to Zhao Zheng.
Zhao Zheng met these escorts, exchanged a few polite words, and then pulled Xuan Mie over to introduce them.
The ascetic monk was very rare. This was the first time for several people to see him. They were all a little surprised and looked at Xuan Mie a few more times.
At Xu Hong's strong invitation, Zhao Zheng sat down and had a hot breakfast with everyone, and then hit the road together.
Xu Hong's team had two carriages, one for Xu Hong to ride on, and the other for transporting supplies. The rest of the group rode forward on horseback, and the speed was pretty good.
Zhao Zheng had a new companion, and he talked more along the way. He often chatted with Zhou Kui and others on the way. His previous guess was indeed correct. The Tiandi Escort Bureau was a newly opened escort agency, so the price was relatively cheap. If it were replaced by
A long-established escort agency like Ping An Escort Agency would need a lot of money to escort such a long journey, and Xu Hong couldn't afford it.
After several days of contact, Zhao Zheng felt that Zhou Kui and the others were pretty good, and they seemed to be real people.
However, this reality is limited to the "surface".
Before leaving, Shen Luoxia's advice was right. People's hearts are separated from each other, and nothing can be seen on the surface.
When they were resting that night, Zhou Kui and another black-faced bodyguard used the excuse of relieving themselves to stay away from the team and entered the depths of the forest. They found two nearby trees and each untied their belts.
Pour two bags of fertilizer under the roots of the tree.
"Brother Zhou, that boy named Zhao is too much of a bother. If he keeps following us, how can we do anything?" the black-faced escort spat.
"If there hadn't been that boy named Zhao, we would have been able to sell the girl when we got to Lianghe County and seize her property along the way. But with that boy named Zhao around, it would be inconvenient to do it.**
, If I had known this, I would have taken action earlier, tied the guy up with a rope and threw it into the car, how could he have caused so much trouble." Zhou Kui's original generous and kind expression disappeared, and his eyebrows raised.
He sank down and his face became extremely gloomy.
"You can't say that. If we take action too early, she might be forced to death, and she won't be able to pass the city inspection."
"It's better to force her to death than to get nothing at all. Are we really going to have to send her all the way to Nanshan Province? Stop dreaming, that little commission is not enough to cover my expenses for a month."
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"What else can we do? We can only wait and see. It would be best if the boy surnamed Zhao and the ascetic left halfway. If they don't leave, then find a good opportunity and do it together with them. How many times do we have to do it together?
All of them are bandits, so if you kill someone, you can't catch them easily." Zhou Kui said fiercely.
"But the boy surnamed Zhao seems to be quite powerful, and the ascetic is also very weird and doesn't seem to be easy to deal with."
"It doesn't matter whether he is easy to deal with or difficult to deal with. When they fall asleep and kill each other, they will not be able to use their skills even if they have them." Zhou Kui snorted and didn't take it seriously. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, novels Better updates faster!)
