Chapter 308: Fighting the Tiger and Capturing the Dragon (Part 1)
crackling——
Lian Chengye woke up to the sound of firecrackers.
Before she even fully opened her eyes, the smell of burning fire and salt rushed into her nose. This smell was familiar to Lian Chengye. I still remember that when he was a child, during various festivals, he would always pester his mother for more scraps of silver.
, so that I can go to the city to buy fireworks.
At that time, Lianjiabao's financial situation was quite optimistic, and he could afford more expensive fireworks such as water explosions and gophers. Unlike now, he only buys cheap pole fires during the New Year to celebrate the festival.
It's not the first month yet, could it be that... there's something happy happening at home?
"I slept for a long time~"
The voices of other people could be heard in the room, and Lian Chengye's experience of traveling all year round made Lian Chengye jump out of bed subconsciously. Not suspecting that he was there, he reached out and grabbed his sword by the pillow.
call out--
A peanut shell broke through the air and hit his wrist, causing numbness in his wrist. In pain, he hurriedly raised his head and suddenly saw Ning Yan sitting with her back to him in the room.
Oh, yes, yes, senior Ning took me to the sky last night...
After relaxing, his limbs seemed to have been drained of all their strength. Lian Chengye's body swayed and he fell down on the bed again.
He originally thought that flying to the sky and escaping to the earth would be a very pleasant thing. He never thought that it would be worse than a hangover. He was still dizzy and uncomfortable after sleeping all night.
However, it was always rude to stay in bed when an honored guest came to the house. After taking a short rest, he climbed out of bed in a daze while thinking wildly.
"I've met Senior Ning..."
Just as he was halfway through his words, Lian Chengye stopped talking and fixed his eyes on Ning Yan's face, his eyes filled with astonishment.
When I turned my back to him, I couldn't see anything strange. When I walked in front of him, I realized that Ning Yan seemed different today from before.
Especially the eyes.
It is true that Ning Yan's eyes are not sharp, and he does not have the strong sense of oppression like Gao Haishan. He is always smiling and even a little gentle. But if you have real contact with him, you will know that in fact, there is a hidden edge, and he contains the power to see through people's hearts.
But now, his eyes were like wooden sculptures that had lost their souls, dull and empty.
"Senior Ning?"
"Um?"
Lian Chengye hesitated for a moment, then plucked up the courage to reach out and wave it in front of Ning Yan's eyes. The other person's pupils didn't change at all, as if he couldn't capture the focus.
"Senior Ning! You, your eyes!"
Ning Yan gently pushed his hand away. There was no trace of sadness in his brows, and he said in a relaxed tone, "Isn't he just blind?"
"Why is this happening!"
"How can you spy on the secrets without paying a small price? It's worth it."
Lian Chengye's head was buzzing, and he couldn't care less about the mystery. He was about to run out the door in a panic: "I'm going to find the doctor..."
"Hey~ It's a small injury, I have a way to solve it."
Ning Yan stopped him, took out the note he had prepared earlier from his sleeve and pressed it on the table, then took off Gong Xuesong's storage ring and pushed it together in front of Lian Chengye: "No more chatting.
Help me prepare the things on the note as soon as possible. As for the cost, you can withdraw it from the storage ring yourself."
Seeing Ning Yan's indifferent expression, Lian Chengye calmed down a little. He immediately picked up the note and glanced at it. Most of the things written on it were ordinary materials. With Gong Xuesong's family background, he could buy several warehouses and be wealthy, so he thought he would be fully prepared.
Not too difficult.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly thought about the word "as soon as possible" that the other party said, and couldn't help but ask: "Senior Ning is leaving now?"
"If you stay here any longer, I'm afraid your father will have trouble sleeping peacefully." Ning Yan shook his head and said, "Besides, I have found the way ahead, and it's time to set off."
After saying that, he stood up with his hands on the table. Seeing this, Lian Chengye hurriedly stepped to the door again.
"Anything else?"
"Senior Ning came to the lower realm for the first time, and now he can't see. How can he do it without someone around him to help him! I'm not talented, but I'm willing to go with senior!"
Ning Yan was stunned. His five senses were far superior to those of ordinary people. He was promoted to the sixth level and could control his spiritual thoughts. Being blind actually had little impact on him. However, Lian Chengye had such a heart, which moved him.
It's also kind of funny.
How can anyone rush to be someone's little brother? Could it be that I, too, am able to make people bow to me with just a shake of my body?
"I am now empty-handed and have no money left. I cannot afford to hire you."
Lian Chengye blocked the door, but remained unmoved. He clasped his fists and said sternly: "If it hadn't been for Senior Ning's intervention, I would have died by Gong Laogou's sword. A true man must do what he says and repay his kindness! Regardless of the mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, we must fight against them.
Even if I take my life, I vow to pave a way for my seniors!"
"Go, go, why do I want your life?"
Ning Yan wanted to refuse, but Lian Chengye was adamant and couldn't resist him, so he agreed.
At worst, if there is real danger, just let this kid run away.
"By the way, Senior Ning, I still don't know where you are going next? It's better for me to prepare in advance."
"Tianyang City."
Lian Chengye nodded. This answer was unexpected and reasonable. If there is a place in Central Continent that can connect to the upper world, it is probably the only place in the rumored supreme capital.
"Then we have to go to Shangjun City first. The teleportation formation to enter Tianyang is only available in Shangjun City."
"Teleportation formation?"
"Yes, Central Continent is thousands of miles wide, and there are strange peaks and dangerous rivers on the way. If you want to go to Tianyang City just by riding a horse, you won't be able to reach it by walking for several years."
"That's not the problem! Aren't you surprised? Where did this teleportation formation come from? How does it work? Why can it connect two places?"
"Maybe it was passed down from immortals, right?"
Lian Chengye scratched his head. Why the teleportation array works is just like why the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. This is a profound question that no one has thought about before. It’s just that there has been no answer for thousands of years. Over time, everyone has become accustomed to it.
Already.
Is it enough to use it? Anyway, if you encounter something that cannot be explained, you are right to point to the immortal.
Ning Yan opened his mouth, but seeing that he couldn't find any valuable information, he sighed: "Okay... Then you should know what drives the teleportation array."
"I know this. It takes one sky crystal to activate a formation."
"What is a sky crystal?"
Lian Chengye groped around on his body for a while, and finally took out a cut silver ingot and gestured: "It's about this big. It looks like crystal on the outside and has a charm on the inside. It's easy to recognize."
Isn’t this the spiritual stone?
Ning Yan recognized the so-called sky crystal stone at a glance as the crystal stone in Gong Xuesong's storage ring. Previously, he thought it was used to assist cultivation, but never thought it could have such a use. This is also reasonable, Gong Xuesong is good in this world.
He is a world-famous master, and he has naturally entered Tianyang City, probably quite a few times.
He was immediately upset because he couldn't help but suck up all the sky crystals a few days ago, but now, there was only a pinch of powder left in it.
This slight change in expression allowed Lian Chengye to see the clues. He didn't ask any more questions. He struggled internally for a moment and gritted his teeth and said, "It doesn't matter. I'll figure out a solution for the sky crystal stone!"
Ning Yan knew how precious the sky crystal was, so he half-convinced and said, "Is it really okay?"
Lian Chengye didn't want to say more, but just reassured Ning Yan that it would not affect his schedule.
While the two were talking, there was an inexplicable noise outside the door.
boom!
The door suddenly shattered, and strong wind pressure poured in from the outside. Although Ning Yan couldn't see it, the aura of the man who entered the room was like a vicious beast that devoured people. It was so intense that it was as if the sea water could
Boil dry.
Who else could it be if it wasn't Gao Haishan?
"Brother Gao? Are you so angry so early in the morning?"
Gao Haishan had a gloomy look on his face, and asked as soon as he entered the door: "Where is my junior sister!"
