Chapter 21: Task
The disciples under the stage were silent, and the law enforcement disciples of Sendai did not say anything, but just commanded several servants to dispose of Zhou Jiekun's body.
"This rune is really amazing. If there are a lot of runes in hand, wouldn't even Wu Sheng be able to fight against the enemy?" Shen Chong sighed.
"Ha ha, you think of the rune urn is too simple. It seems that it is not difficult to refine the rune. You only need to put the spirit pressure of heaven and earth into the rune paper. As long as there is a psychic level of cultivation, you can do it. However, when it is really refined, you can require the charmer to control the aura extremely fine and strict, and even some runes can't even be made by Wusheng. Advanced It is difficult to find a rune. Although low-level rune has been circulated a lot, its value is not low, and it is a one-time consumption. How many people can spend a lot of money to buy it?
"Well, this rune is also self-contained, which is called a rune. The rune is divided into four levels of heaven and earth. I haven't seen the sky-level and the ground-level rune. The Xuan-level and yellow-level rune can be made by a rune maker specializing in runes, such as the wind rune, lightning rune, ice needle rune, and the fire snake rune and King Kong rune used by Zhou Jiekun. It's a yellow-level lower-grade rune urn. You can exchange it in the merit hall with the merits of the master, but the flying sword rune and the sharp gold rune used by Brother Wang Chong belong to the Xuan-level rune. I don't know where he got it from, but he used it so generously. Song Chengang said.
"Well, I also heard my father say that practicing martial arts is not only a painstaking practice. Dan Dao, Fu Dao, Instrument Dao, Array, etc. are all avenues, as well as hundreds of side-door paths. In the end, it is possible to step into the road to heaven." Liu Kangzheng said.
"The journey of martial arts is really rich and colorful," Shen Chong sighed, and he had to contact him if he had a chance.
The fight on Dou Sendai was over, and the disciples dispersed. Shen Chong also returned to his yard and began to practice again.
In the next time, Shen Chong rarely walked out of the yard and tried his best to practice the three types of burning heart. Now the second type of "Starfire" can also be barely used. This type compresses all the real gas into a point and then bursts out in an instant, which is more powerful than the first type, and this type is more convenient to sneak attack and catches the opponent off guard.
Although he is busy practicing, he will not miss the teaching time of passing skills every ten days. The elders of the inner door are at least psychic masters, and sometimes there are even strong martial arts masters to explain martial arts.
When the inner disciples reach a certain age and can't break through the realm of martial arts, they will turn into inner elders. Generally, they are over 50 years old and have rich martial arts experience. Sometimes in one sentence, they can reduce their hard work for several months.
Shen Chong didn't quite understand it in many places, but he also forcibly wrote it down and thought about it carefully in the future.
Three months passed quickly. On this day, as soon as Shen Chong walked out of the room, he heard a loud voice cutting through the sky: "New disciple, pass on to the Gong Academy, receive the task!"
At the beginning of each month, the outer disciples have to deliver last month's tasks and receive new tasks at the beginning of each month, while the new disciples will not be assigned tasks until three months later.
Shen Chong did not dare to neglect. He put on the Taoist clothes of his disciples, took the cold light sword, and walked out of the yard energetically. The disciples of each foreign door have gone to the Gongyuan in twos and threes.
Hundreds of people were waiting outside the Chuangong Institute. Shen Chong saw Liu Kang and Wang Zhong and Song Chengang together in the crowd, so he stepped forward to say hello.
"Xhen Chong, you are here too." Liu Kangdao.
"Well, I don't know what the task is like this time." Shen Chong replied.
"It's almost every time," Wang Zhong said, "The outer disciples have to do some fixed tasks every month, which is nothing more than assisting the elders and inner disciples to collect medicine and alchemy. It is a laborious and time-consuming job. If you don't want to do it, you must exchange it with merit. Of course, there will also be some dangerous tasks, such as suppressing bandits or killing demons, but there will be some additional rewards.
"The merit value?" Shen Chong heard Liu Kang mention it last time.
"Well, the disciple token in your hand is recorded with your merits after entering the beginning. You can pour in the token with true qi."
Shen Chongyi injected vitality into his token. Sure enough, after a burst of vitality flashed, a number was displayed on the token: 100.
"Well," Wang Zhong saw the number and said, "When you get started, you will be counted as 100 merits. In the future, you will need to increase your merits and virtues by yourself. You can increase merits by completing the teacher's task, or contribute skills and elixirs to get merit points."
"Of course, there are also some reward tasks, which are issued by the elders or inner disciples. After completion, they will issue merit. The merit points can be exchanged for items of the sect, such as elixir, runes and so on." Song Chengang added on the side.
"Ha ha, let's see what our task is this month first," Liu Kang said.
Shen Chong and four people walked into the Gongyuan, in which several inner gate elders were assigning tasks. The merits and virtues of each task were different. They could form their own teams to divide the merits equally.
"Brother Hua is coming," Wang Zhong saw a man coming towards them and hurriedly said hello. The visitor did not wear the Taoist robe of the Three Saints, but was dressed in white, carrying a long sword. The sword body was simple, did not show sharpness, and it was not a cold light sword.
"Brother Hua, these two are the new disciples Liu Kang and Shen Chong." Song Chengang introduced aside.
The man nodded: "This mission is to enter the Heifeng Mountains to kill the thief Situkong. There are 16 disciples walking together. The four of you are in a group. This is the map. We will set out early tomorrow morning and meet in Heifeng Town. I hope you guys don't hold back.
After the man left, Shen Chong asked:
"Who is he?"
"Brother Hua was born in Wutai County and is the eldest son of the county guard Hua family. In less than a year, he became the first of the outer disciple. His cultivation has already reached the psychic level, but his merit is not enough and he can't be promoted to an inner disciple, so he disdains to wear the outer disciple's Taoist robe." Wang Zhong replied, "And I heard that his dress and the sword on his back are magic weapons, and even the disciples of the Inner Martial Arts are not his opponents. With Brother Hua leading the team, this mission should be much easier. Song Chengang said.
"Who is that thief Situ Kong?"
"Situ Kong, who was originally a general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was expelled by the army because of his addiction three years ago. Later, he gathered a group of bandits, known as Heifeng Thieves. It was rumored that he had been wiped out by the Jiuhua faction, and he did not want to die again." Wang Zhong was obviously a well-informed person, who casually said the origin of Situ Kong.
"Well, let's take Brother Hua as the leader. Let's listen to his arrangement," Song Chengang said. "The Heifeng Mountains are about a few miles away from here. Let's go to the Yanyuan to borrow a few iron feather geese first."
The iron-feather goose is a unique raptor in Luoxia Mountain. It is shaped like a goose, with its wings about one foot long. The two claws are different from ordinary geese. They are shaped like eagle claws, like steel. They can crack mountain stones, which can also be regarded as vitality-level monsters.
After being tamed by the disciples of the Three Holy Sect, it can travel thousands of miles a day as a flying tool.
Liu Kang took out a thin book from his arms and gave it to Shen Chong:
"This is the essence of the "four elephant array". The four elephant array can condense the skills of the four of us. Originally, the three of us and my cousin practiced together, but my cousin is missing. I hope you can make up for my cousin's seat. When facing the enemy, the four of us can work together to advance and retreat."
Over the endless grassland, four iron-feathered geese flew by, and the four people on the back of the geese were Shen Chong and others.
Shen Chong was the first time to fly on a geese. ** The iron feather goose fluttered its wings and rushed to the sky. Shen Chong only felt that his body was suddenly light, and the wind sounded in his ears. Then he opened his eyes. One person and one geese had already flew in the air. Looking down, the valley, streams, and stars were dense. For a moment, he only felt that the clouds were light and the wind was comfortable. It's extremely smooth.
This is just flying through foreign objects. Isn't it more comfortable to cultivate to the realm of the divine soul, guide the body with the divine soul, and reach the emptiness? For a while, I yearned for the legendary characters of the soul realm.
After a day of repeated research, Shen Chong has understood some of the footwork, joint attack methods and joint gas skills in the four elephant array, but he is not very proficient. The four of them have also practiced several times in their spare time, which is quite powerful.
The Heifeng Mountains are about a thousand miles away from Sanshengzong, but the iron feather geese fly extremely fast, but in six or seven hours, they have left Wuhu County and entered Gu'an County. Gu'an County is a grassland, and the Heifeng Mountains are in the southwest corner of the grassland.
After flying for more than six consecutive hours, even the iron feather goose, a strange bird, could not support it. The four people stopped on a mountain rock, fed some water to the mount, and ate some of their favorite snow leaf fruits to restore their strength.
"What is Situ Kong's cultivation, Wang Zhong, do you know?" Shen Chong took a sip of water and asked.
"I don't know what cultivation is now, but he was already a psychic master three years ago. Now that he dares to appear, he must have cultivated to the level of broken martial arts."
"You'd better be more careful not to let people be cannon fodder." Liu Kang said.
"It should not be difficult to kill him by the means of Brother Hua. He is now in a hurry to lack meritorious deeds. As long as he has enough merits, he can be promoted to an inner disciple. The treatment is not a little higher than that of the outer door."
Several people were resting when they suddenly heard bursts of eagles behind the mountain rock, and their voices were high and excited. The four of them were curious and turned the rock to look out.
A big eagle suddenly appeared in front of him, about a hundred feet away from them. The eagle was about the size of an iron feather goose. Its feathers were golden yellow, and it looked extremely dazzling in the sunset. But when you look closely, the appearance was extremely ugly, the feathers were sparse, and half of them had fallen. His face was ferocious, his eyes were fierce, and his momentum was compelling. Less blood stains.
The eagle has been hovering at a low altitude, chirping from time to time, and occasionally rushing down and flapping the ground with its wings.
Jin Ling eagle, Shen Chong has seen this kind of strange beast from Shenzhou Zhi. It is also a kind of strange bird. It is good at flying far away. Although it is not as tough as Tieyu goose, its speed and attack power are much stronger.
The eagle cried for a while, and only heard the noise under the grass. Suddenly, the ground cracked and a huge snake's head emerged. The snake's head was about the size of a basin, triangular shape, and a thick bucket. What's more strange was that there was a blood-red horn in the middle of the snake's head, which looked like It's a big sarcoma.
Seeing this snake, Wang Zhong couldn't help shouting: "The one-horned snake is actually a one-horned snake."
