The motorcade traveled down the Zhangsong River. As spring approached, the scenery along the way changed, and sporadic greenery began to appear on the mountains and the official roads at the foot.
The floating ice on the river has long since melted, and the turbulent water rushes down. As the Zhangsong River converges into a large river as a tributary, the river suddenly becomes wider, with a mighty length of more than thirty feet, and a large number of people begin to appear on the river.
's big ship.
This is the Canglan River. 80% of the rivers in the entire southeastern part of Haizhou will eventually merge into this river and then flow into the vast blue sea.
The originally muddy official road under the horses' hooves also merged into a wide gravel official road, and the convoy began to walk on a plain.
On the road, we began to encounter caravans traveling the same way from time to time. Most of them were large in number and had a tough temperament. The ordinary guards were all monster soldiers, and there were also a varying number of monk guards. Apparently they were trekking long distances in the wilderness where monsters roamed.
Exchange of goods and services.
Du Kang studied hard in the carriage all day long. Under the leadership of Tan Hua, the convoy also imitated the behavior of passing caravans and did not contact others rashly. It just continued to move along the river.
After walking along the river for another half month, spring finally came, the grass on the roadside was all green, and the atmosphere in the team became more relaxed.
First of all, unlike when there were monsters along the way when walking on the mountain road, the convoy did not encounter a single monster attack on the plains. Even though there were many monsters in the river, the monsters never came ashore to attack the passing merchants. Obviously, the monks on this commercial road
The frequent and dishonest monsters have been wiped out long ago.
Secondly, they were already close to the destination of their trip. More than a hundred miles further, they would reach Canglan City, the destination of their trip.
This city is located on the west side of the mouth of the mighty Canglan River, which is three thousand miles away. It is connected to the Canglan River to the south and the Bibo Sea to the north. There are also trade routes from east to west across the south bank of the Bibo Sea. It is the largest human city in the south of the Bibo Sea.
The caravan traveled thousands of miles and endured the harassment of monsters along the way to get here. As long as they entered Canglan City and sold the scarce mountain goods, they could purchase cheap water-type monster materials, spiritual objects, and medicinal materials locally.
More importantly, the entire Haizhou can only be purchased here. Only by gathering a large number of monks can a complete monk ecological industry be developed, which can produce cheap and sophisticated magic weapons; as well as low-level magic weapons that can be refined by cultivating the artifacts in batches and becoming demons.
All these goods can be sold for sky-high prices in the Haizhou mountainous area. There are a lot of small local snakes who are willing to pay high prices to buy such things that can increase their military strength.
A business trip means reselling twice. It took half a year to risk a trip to Canglan City, and ten times the capital would be considered a loss. Most of the caravans that came and went could make twenty or thirty times the profit.
Therefore, even though winter has just passed, the ice floes on the river have just melted, and the land and waterway to the southeast of Canglan City are already in operation. This kind of lively scene is something that people who grew up in a small place like Tanhua and Zishe have never seen.
Passed.
In the evening of this day, the sun in the west had already set below the mountain, and the clouds on the horizon were dyed into red clouds. The motorcade arrived at an inn along the river.
In the north of the plain, at the end of the line of sight, a huge city can be vaguely seen, which is Canglan City. The convoy cannot make it there today, so we can only stay at this inn for one night.
It is said to be an inn, but it is actually just a two-story building by the Canglan River. It only provides some hot water and food for the passing convoys. All the people in the convoys parked on a flat piece of land next to the inn, and they still parked in their convoys at night.
Rest inside.
Du Kang did not get out of the car. In the carriage, there were four young men wearing turtle shells sitting with their backs to him. With all their strength, the turtle shells were covered with green light. Du Kang, who was sitting cross-legged, traced his fingers in the air, making a winding line like water.
The black spell took shape in his hand.
"Okay, after a month of hard work, I finally succeeded."
Du Kang's face showed a joyful expression, and he muttered to himself. He touched the water talisman with his fingertips, and the dark talisman fell on a fox demon beside his knees whose joints had been removed and whose body was covered with demon-conquering cones.
The fox demon made a weak squeaking sound and begged for mercy, trying to arouse the mercy of the person in front of him, but the water talisman still fell on its forehead in the fox demon's desperate eyes.
Sizzling——
A strange sound of dehydration sounded. The fox's fur, which was originally plump and shiny, shriveled up with the fox demon's forehead as the center and quickly spread to the whole body. The fox demon's struggling movements were frozen by death and turned into a mummy.
"Take it down, and you can go and rest."
Du Kang's voice sounded, and the four turtle shell owners who had been sitting in front of them for a day immediately stood up, turned around, and saw that they had four green faces, and even the exposed palms were green, matching the four shaved heads.
The heads look like four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Because their green faces are difficult to identify, they wear blue, red, orange, and purple hairbands on their heads to make it easier for others to distinguish them.
Liu Erdan, who was wearing a blue headband, stepped forward and picked up the mummy of the fox demon. He felt that the fox that originally weighed forty or fifty kilograms now weighed less than twenty kilograms, and the fox that was still cute before weighed less than twenty kilograms.
The face became hideous after drying up.
After all, he was still a teenager at heart, so he couldn't help but feel fear. He turned his eyes slightly and couldn't bear to look at it anymore. Seeing that his master had no other instructions, he bowed and exited the carriage with his newly sworn brothers.
It wasn't until they left the carriage that the red-faced boy on Du Kang's shoulder withdrew his vigilant gaze. Those who have not been implanted with the demon seal cannot gain the trust of the five-element demon boy.
Du Kang had no time to pay attention to this at this time. His mind was immersed in the sea of consciousness. There were five talismans on the silver Yin Shen flashing with spiritual light, illuminating the entire sea of consciousness with colorful lights.
As early as a few days after inscribing the fire talisman, Du Kang, who had a solid foundation, imprinted the three elements of metal, wood and earth talismans into Yin Shen one after another. However, the realization of the water talisman has been slow.
Compared with the five-element elves like the five-element demon boy, the water element aura attached to the tortoise shell of the tortoise shell monk is too thin and obscure. Fortunately, with the microscopic insight of his spiritual eyes, Du Kang finally hurriedly used the five elements of Yin Shen before entering Canglan City.
Everything.
Du Kang felt that his Yinshen had undergone an essential transformation, not that it had advanced to a higher level of strength, but that his perception of things had undergone earth-shaking changes.
He also felt this way when he was inscribing the previous four talismans, but the difference between missing one of the five elements and having all five elements was huge. The addition of the water talisman did not simply increase the perception blessing from four to five, but directly increased it from four.
Arrived twenty-five.
At this time, looking back at the spells he had practiced before, Du Kang discovered that he could actually understand the function of the structure of a small half spell talisman.
If the talisman method is regarded as the ancestor of all dharma, then the five-element talisman method is the foundation of the talisman method.
Wood is called bending and straightness, fire is called inflammation, earth is called farming, gold is called leather, and water is moistened. The five elements do not simply refer to the five kinds of spiritual energy, they also represent five categories of metaphysical concepts.
Wood not only represents the characteristics of wood spiritual energy such as growth, germination, and vitality, but also represents concepts such as beginning, germination, growth, and expansion;
Fire not only represents the fire spirit’s characteristics such as temperature, brightness, and change, but also represents enthusiasm, vitality, and the atmosphere of rising transpiration;
Earth not only represents the thick, metamorphic, and long-nurturing characteristics of soil spiritual energy, but also represents the meaning of carrying, resting, and nurturing;
Gold not only represents the strong, chilling, sharp and other characteristics of gold spiritual energy, but also represents the meaning of change and killing;
Water not only represents the cold, downward, and moistening properties of water spiritual energy, but also represents the power of hiding, ending, downward, and death.
Du Kang's Yin God has these five talismans in his body, and the foundation of the talisman method has been established. When his mind moves, the silver Yin God with six arms jumps out of his body, and the five-color light of green, red, yellow, white and black illuminates the entire carriage.
The vast waves of the spiritual energy sea surged over the surface of Yin Shen, as if brushing against the body surface. Du Kang only had a sense of lightness that transcended the physical body, and there was no slight tingling sensation at all when he was out of the body.
Du Kang suddenly had an intuition that in the future, strong winds, scorching sun, and rain would no longer be able to cause harm to the Yin God. If he wanted to, he could easily swim around the world as a Yin God.
It's a pity that Du Kang can't do this kind of fun thing. He has a brain problem and will abandon his strong body and use his fragile Yinshen to blow the cold wind.
Du Kang did not leave the carriage. He raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Canglan City in the distance, only to see something else appear in his spiritual eyes that could only see aura.
The crimson fire rises like a raging flame. It is the fire of the mortal world. Countless desires are tumbling in it, as small as hoping to make a few more copper coins today, wanting to marry a wife for his son... as big as wanting to practice magic to stand out.
, or want to kill the enemy, want to get the elusive woman...
All kinds of worldly desires derived from millions of people are rolling in it, like a huge furnace, swallowing up all living beings in the city.
A copper light flashed on the mirror, and the distracting thoughts caused by the red dust fire were wiped away as easily as the dust on the mirror. Du Kang scanned the sea of fire and finally saw something different.
A large golden bell stands high in the sky in the east of the city. Many monster patterns are engraved on it. There are a large number of golden silk threads connected to the city and the sea further north. From a distance, it looks like a golden spider weaving a web.
.
A large black flag stood in the sky above the west of the city. The flagpole was made of dozens of black spines, and the whole body was inked. The strong wind stirred up by the red dust fire blew the black flag loudly, and a hundred-armed white-bone demon god was standing there.
The flag was struggling and roaring.
Perhaps sensing the prying eyes, the Bone Demon God roared in the direction of Du Kang, and the golden bell also rang a low tone.
The next moment, the red dust exploded, submerging the two artifacts. When the sea of fire subsided again, the two weapons were gone.
"The Sheng family and the Bai family are the strongest in Canglan City. There are many local forces and foreign forces mixed together. The two weapons just now should be their family treasures. This is too stingy and no one will take a second look.
"
Du Kang's Yin Shen blinked his stinging eyes and turned his gaze back to his surroundings, wanting to see what his men looked like in his spiritual eyes again, but unexpectedly saw... a cyan light group approaching the Earth-Suppressing Cauldron underground.
In the Zhendi Cauldron, the exhausted yellow-faced boy was still sleeping soundly, unaware of the coming crisis.
"I was negligent. The power of escaping is not unique to me. Someone almost stole my big treasure."
Returning to his physical body in an instant, Du Kang stepped out of the carriage and stepped onto the ground in the outside world. He raised his hand and waved away the Snake and the four turtles that had gathered in front of him, staring at the ground and meditating secretly.
In fact, the Tao family cares more about the Earth-Suppressing Cauldron than they do. Even in the blessed land, they can see the scene within three feet of the anchor point of the blessed land. Seeing that the thief Lingguang is just a low-level monk, the chance of him succeeding is not
high.
But strength is not important. What Du Kang cares about is how the other party detected the Earth-Suppressing Cauldron? Are people from the Wusheng Cult and Rakshasa Cult chasing after him? Or is he just a little thief who can detect the aura of the divine weapon across the earth?
underground.
The yellow-faced boy opened his eyes silently and looked at the spiritual light that was not far away.
…
A small figure followed the induction of the talisman in his hand and slowly escaped underground.
Qingdai has always felt that she is a lucky person. She lost her father and mother when she was young, but she found a place where she could have enough to eat.
Although she later found out that it was a big fire pit, at least that organization gave her the opportunity to become a monk. She didn't have to worry about whether she would die of cold or hunger on the roadside. She only had to worry about how to go further on the road of spiritual practice.
Therefore, Qingdai cherishes everything she has now and will try her best to climb up. Only in this way can she forget the cold, hunger and fear of death that always echo in her dreams.
Qingdai's Yaizhen Technique has reached level B. To break through to level C, she needs a lot of spiritual iron and divine gold. In recent years, she has often regretted why she chose this kind of magic that only rich people can practice. As a result, she now has a daily
Have to run for money.
Yazhan method is one of the nine methods of transforming a dragon. It is a method that can reach the sky if practiced step by step. The foundation is extremely important. When moving from level B to level C, it is best to use the same material as the claw blade.
Qingdai had already asked someone to calculate the volume of her bones. If she uses Yin Copper, which is the same material as the claw blade, at least 330 kilograms of pure Yin Copper will be needed for the advancement.
Different from foreign objects such as weapons, generally low-level magic weapons are made of a small amount of spiritual iron mixed with mortal iron. This type of magic weapon costs at least four to five hundred taels each.
If all Yin Copper had to be bought, Qingdai had calculated that she would have to kill sea monsters for twenty years to collect this huge sum of money. Of course, this was only if she could survive in the cruel blue sea for that long.
Fortunately, Qingdai had already found out about a mining route.
The day before yesterday, I killed a green fire fish demon in Bibo Sea. I finally sold the demon corpse at a high price to a foreign caravan. In addition, with my many years of savings, I bought the long-awaited earth escape talisman and gold detection in Baibao Pavilion.
She couldn't wait to start her underground mining business.
There is a formation for the Imprisonment Escape Skill under Canglan City, and the underground area near the city has been searched countless times by large families and small individuals. There is no need to expect anything good to be left behind. Qingdai directly took all her belongings along the way.
Following the Canglan River, we arrived fifty miles south of the city, intending to try our luck heading south from this way.
She no longer expects to be able to collect three hundred and thirty kilograms of Yin copper. She only hopes to find a sufficient volume of spiritual iron gold in the ground in a year or two. No matter how many types there are, no matter what the quality is, as long as she can
Just make up the volume you need to advance.
Although this would make the bones all over the body mottled and affect the potential of the spell, she couldn't control that much anymore.
The sea was blue and windy, and the organization's tasks were becoming more and more difficult. She didn't know when a crisis that she couldn't handle would come. Maybe that day would never come, but maybe it would be today or tomorrow.
Facts have proved that Qingdai is indeed lucky. When she was about to call it a day after harvesting two coins of silver-smelting iron, her gold-detecting charm began to vibrate more violently than ever before.
The shopkeeper of Baibao Pavilion said that if the gold-detecting talisman can react so violently, Qingdai must have discovered a rich mine. As long as he finds one, he will have no worries about food and drink for the rest of his life.
Qingdai always thought that this was just an exaggeration made by the shopkeeper to sell goods. How could there be such a large amount of natural spiritual iron and divine gold in this world? Even if there was, why would such good luck fall on her?
When the gold-detecting talisman vibrated, Qingdai was completely stunned. She felt that even God could not stand the hard life she had endured for more than ten years and was starting to pity her.
Suppressing her accelerated heartbeat, Qingdai slowly escaped towards the target underground. She was getting closer and closer to the target.
The strange thing is that this piece of spiritual iron gold was buried very shallowly, only one foot deep from the ground, not far from the Canglan River. She could vaguely hear the sound of the river flowing.
"It was so close to the ground and no one noticed it, but I happened to be discovered. God really has mercy on me."
Qingdai suppressed the joy in her heart and pushed aside the last layer of soil that was blocking the space between herself and the Spiritual Iron God. She saw a golden cauldron emitting a soft golden light in the mud that was like sticky glue.
A tall and tall man in green clothes stood on the tripod, showing himself a gentle smile.
"Do you think my earth-suppressing tripod is beautiful? Do you also want to take a look at my tripod when your distinguished guest comes here at night?"
