Too Reckless - Vol 14 Chapter 7

The majestic and majestic city stands among the colorful clouds. There are waterfalls gushing out from the city and falling into the surging river under the cliff of Wanren. Through the water, light and white mist, the sculpture of the Emperor of Heaven on the cliff can be seen.

The hanging covered bridge, passing through the falling waterfall, leads to an inconspicuous stone cave on the cliff.

Xun Mingzhang, whose face was slightly pale, walked slowly across the covered bridge, with a three-point worry in his eyebrows, and whispered to the man beside him:

“The situation in Bosuozhou is not optimistic. Zuo Lingquan and even Dongzhou Valkyrie’s descendants should all be in Shuanghua City. In my opinion, these two people are more difficult to deal with than Huang Yuhe…”

Next to Xun Mingzhang was a middle-aged man with a cold face, a long purple sheathed sword hanging from his waist, and a yin and yang fish ball shaped like an eye on the handguard of the blade. .

The man’s name is Gu Chen, the master of the temple of guards, the third-in-command of the Kui Bingzhou human clan, and if not counting the perverts of the demon clan, he is also the first martial artist in Kui Bingzhou, and his status is higher than that of Xun Mingzhang.

Hearing the words of Dongzhou Valkyrie, Gu Chen was a little unhappy.

Xun Mingzhang also understood why.

Gu Chen is the ancestor of the Superintendent of Soldiers Temple, and the Temple of Superintendent of Soldiers is naturally worshipped by the Lord of the West, Superintendent of Soldiers.

The Temple of Supervisors is an immortal family that has been passed down from ancient times to the present. It has always been rooted in Kuibingzhou. Thanks to the protection of the God of Supervisors, it was still the sect of Wuxiu in ancient times.

But when the immortal family in the world has infinite beauty, there are times of bad luck.

Three thousand years ago, a sword was cast in a secular sword shop near the Temple of the Superintendent. When the sword was completed, a streamer descended from the nine heavens and landed on the sword.

Because the movement was too loud, the Temple of the Guardians naturally discovered it, and saw that the sword was not of ordinary quality. When it was brought back, it was very happy, but unfortunately, no one in the whole sect could pull the sword out.

Gu Chen was still the young master at that time, and he was the only one among Kui Bingzhou’s generation in talent. He felt that this sword was specially given to him by the gods, and he practiced swordsmanship for many years.

Until one day, a girl came from the south, sneaked into the temple of guards, stole the sword and ran away.

At that time, the ancestors of the Temple of the Soldiers found out, and naturally wanted to stop them. As a result, in the last battle of this life, they saw the most splendid brilliance in the world.

Who is that woman, I won’t go into too much detail here. Anyway, this matter has dealt a big blow to the temple of guards who have worshipped the White Tiger for thousands of years; ‘The anger was gone, and slowly began to go downhill.

As the successor, Gu Chen was very promising, and raised the status of the Temple of the Soldiers to its current position, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t reverse the fact that he was abandoned by the Divine Lord of the Soldiers.

Before the Valkyrie became an immortal, Gu Chen also tried to grab the Heavenly Official Excalibur, and was almost killed. Later, the Valkyrie became a Valkyrie, and this matter could only be recognized.

In Xun Mingzhang’s view, this incident can only be blamed on the bad luck of the Temple of Supervisors.

The gods bestow opportunities for mortals, and they generally give them to their own territory—for example, Qinglong bestows opportunities on the peach blossom ancestral tree that retains aura. Heaven and earth are their own, so who cares which mortal this site belongs to.

Judging from the final result, the Heavenly Official Divine Sword was given to the Valkyrie, and it did not fall directly into the warehouse of the Superintendent’s Temple, but the swordsmen of the secular world, which reminded them that this sword did not belong to the Superintendent’s Temple.

But the Temple of the Guardians has worshipped the White Tiger for thousands of years. According to the human race, this sword should be given to their group of believers; even if there is no such thing, if things fall on their territory, it should be theirs according to the first-come-first-served rule. , is taken away by outsiders, how can people accept it calmly?

Xun Mingzhang and Yaodao Gu Chen came to Tiandi City at this time, which is also related to this matter.

Xun Mingzhang fought outside the city of Shuanghua, and after reviewing it, he felt that the strange long sword with killing power was the divine sword in the hands of the Valkyrie.

And this sword was in Zuo Lingquan’s hand at this time, and the Valkyrie couldn’t get away from Dongzhou again. After Gu Chen heard the news, he naturally moved a little.

What Xun Mingzhang said at this time was to persuade Gu Chen not to underestimate the enemy, thinking that Zuo Lingquan was a junior, and the Valkyrie had come to the world under the pretense, so they would not take them seriously.

However, as a strong man who was beaten by the Valkyrie and has not died, Yaodao Gu Chen really didn’t believe it very much, and responded:

“You are good at the fire of the five elements, and you were defeated by the opponent’s talent. If you really want to let go of your hands and feet, how many jade-rank juniors will you be afraid of?”

This statement made sense. As a warlock, if Xun Mingzhang used fire to deal with the enemy, he would not be so passive on that day; and if a martial artist was more pure, he would be stronger than anyone else, and there was no such thing as talent or restraint.

Xun Mingzhang knew the background of the demon sword Gu Chen, so he didn’t say much nonsense, just said:

“Focus on the overall situation, first look at the meaning of the ancestors of Shang.”

Gu Chen pressed the handle of the knife, walked side by side with Xun Mingzhang into the cave below the city, walked for about half a mile, went deep into the ground, and a huge lava lake appeared in front of him.

The underground is not a natural karst cave, but a carefully crafted refining room, with a radius of several miles. The surrounding walls and even the dome are filled with various fairy equipment and patterns. The magma lake with purple flames in the center is the earth. Refiner furnace for furnace.

The indoor temperature of the underground refining device is extremely high, and mortals may become fly ash before entering. There are no outsiders in it, only an old man in a purple robe, sitting cross-legged on the edge of the lava lake, looks unremarkable, like a work leisure. The resting old craftsman, but those torch-like eyes seem to be able to see the world and smelt all things, making people dare not look directly.

The old man who can sit here is naturally Xianjun Shang Yin, one of the ten most powerful people in Jiuzhou, one of the four leaders of Youying Alien Race, and the actual controller of Kui Bingzhou.

There are two immortals in Kui Bingzhou, and it stands to reason that the status is not divided into superior and inferior, but the status of the artifact refiner is detached from the world, regardless of whether it is a human being or a monster. Although it is not the main reason, it is indeed one of the reasons why the monsters are willing to listen to the orders of the human race.

There was fog condensing in front of Shang Yin, presenting a picture.

Xun Mingzhang walked closer, and it could be seen that the picture was an extremely complicated pattern, and the words echoed in it:

“Master, this is the new formation that Wu Zunyi added today. My disciple’s eyes are blurred, but I just don’t understand what this is for…”

The person who spoke should be Zhang Hui, a monk sitting in Wangtidal Beach. Xun Mingzhang was quite familiar. The robe on his body was made by Zhang Hui.

When Shang Yin saw the two of them coming, he didn’t look back and said directly:

“Ming Zhang, can you see the method of this picture?”

Xun Mingzhang walked closer, frowned and carefully observed the engraving of the picture, and nodded slightly:

“Wonderful, this pattern is worthy of the four characters of ingenious craftsmanship, but the key point is still somewhat obscure and unclear, and I hope Senior Shang can give me some guidance.”

Shang Yin shook his head: “That’s why I didn’t understand it at all. It’s not surprising. In addition to the deity, it is estimated that the second person in the world can see the subtlety of this pattern.”

Demon Sword Gu Chen is a martial artist. Even Xun Mingzhang saw something lonely. Naturally, he had no idea and asked:

“What is this pattern for?”

“This is only a part of the map of the refining tool. Looking at the structure, there is a shadow of the spirit-calling array. It should be used to communicate with the gods and the earth, but the structure is much more subtle than the spirit-calling array…”

Shang Yin is a craftsman, and the common problem of craftsmen is that he is more interested in quirky things than others.

Shang Yin didn’t care whether the two of them understood it or not, he talked to himself about the beauty of the array for a long time, and then he stopped talking and turned around:

“Gu Chen, are you here to ask for orders to replace Ming Zhang to sit in Bosuozhou?”

The demon knife Gu Chen nodded slightly: “Fellow Daoist Xun was injured by the Heavenly Official Divine Sword, and it is difficult to preside over the overall situation in a short period of time, and Bo Suozhou cannot really fall into the hands of Hua Junzhou…”

Shang Yin raised his hand slightly to stop Gu Chen’s words:

“The deity has already sent the business chess to the past, and the battle in Posuo Continent can be dragged slowly. At present, the main focus is on the southeast; the others have already set off with Meijinshui, and the deity must always keep an eye on it to prevent accidents, and there is no time to deal with it. Miscellaneous, if you leave again, Ming Zhang and the others can’t control the situation, so stay in the sect for the past few years.”

Although Kui Bingzhou’s human race and demon race are currently allies, the well water does not violate the river water, but the eternal feud of the weak and the strong will never be erased. Just like Xun Mingzhang, he never regarded Xuan Ye as one of his own. Once there was no strong suppression, civil strife would inevitably occur.

Although Gu Chen really wanted to get back his Heavenly Official Divine Sword, but Shang Yin didn’t let him go, he couldn’t say anything, just complained a little:

“With the name of Senior Shang, Kui Bingzhou can’t make trouble, and I am an idler here.”

Shang Yin shook his head at this, and raised his hand to indicate the array behind him:

“Don’t talk too much, this deity’s apprentice, who doesn’t follow a teacher, threatened to give this deity some color to see, and he didn’t know what he was holding back. If you can’t stop this **** at that time, and you are beaten down by the deity’s apprentice, people will be fine. Lost.”

Gu Chen frowned when he heard the words, while Xun Mingzhang was puzzled:

“Shang Lao, you all know that Wu Zunyi’s plot is not good, and he is still tossing him?”

Shang Yin sighed lightly: “You are not artifact refiners, you don’t understand the pain of having no way to study or to discuss without friends, the deity is invincible in the world in artifact refining, and after seeing all the methods in the world, it is difficult to find a way that can make deity in front of him. something bright.

“This is like the sword **** Huang Chao seeing Zuo Lingquan. Huang Chao was standing on the cliff of Juejianjian, looking at it for a long time like a resentful woman. He was amazed by Zuo Lingquan’s swordsmanship? No, it was hard to see one. , It is possible to sit down and probe the kendo seedlings with him, and the heart lake that is almost numb finally has living water, looking forward to it.

“This person has been invincible for too long, and he has this problem. Wu Zunyi doesn’t talk about dealing with the deity. Even if he trains a magic weapon and kills the deity, the deity can be considered an eye-opener before he dies, and he will die without any regrets.”

Only those who are in the rank of Xianjun can understand these words. Xun Mingzhang can only nod thoughtfully about this, and think about it again:

“Zuo Lingquan should be in Posuo Continent at the moment. As the old ancestor Shang said, this son is very evil. Now he is already ranked in the jade rank. If he is allowed to grow wildly for a few years, no one may be able to hold him back…”

“Zuo Lingquan is the Shangguan Yutang three thousand years ago. This kind of freak who gets in the way, whoever gets in the way and whoever gets in the way, don’t worry about it for now. When Dongzhou fights, he will rush back and let Mei Jinshui deal with it immediately. Can.”

Xun Laomo thinks about it too. Although they and Beishouzhou are allies, they are two continents after all, and their relationship with Mei Jinshui is not as close to the northwest demon clan; this kind of evil opponent can make Beishouzhou It takes manpower and material resources to deal with it, naturally there is no need to do it yourself…

——

a few days later.

Zuo Lingquan traveled day and night, marching along the secular official road to the frontier, driving and riding horses when there were many people, and carefully walking on foot when there were few people. It took half a month to reach Jiugong Mountain.

Jiugong Mountain is a place name, and it is not very famous in the world, but on the spiritual path, it is a ferry and a market with dense flow of immortals. The owner behind it is the Temple of Supervisors, which is famous for selling all kinds of rare ores. No matter the day and night, the market is full of people. .

Having come here, the scrutiny of the cultivator’s identity is naturally much smaller. As long as there are no flaws, basically no one will come to ask the origin.

For the sake of safety, Zuo Lingquan did not pretend to be a loose cultivator, but forged the identity card of a small sect he met on the road and hung it on his waist, pretending to buy goods for the sect, and entered with the three girls. market.

Zuo Lingquan, like other low-level monks, first found an inn in the market to stay, and then Miss Qiu and Jingxun, who were not good at inquiring about news at the bottom, stayed behind, while he and Qiu Tao went out for shopping, looking for a way to enter Cang. Shagu River opportunity.

The Cangsha Ancient River is an area that is expressly forbidden to be approached. The foreign monks in the market know where it is, but that’s all. Not only trying to enter, but even inquiring about what is going on inside will attract attention.

For this reason, Zuo Lingquan can only go around the market, looking for clues in the words and deeds of the people passing by. This visit lasted for three days, and the time came to the eighth day of September – Xuan Ye revealed that there would be people in the Jiugong River in Cangsha Ancient River. The day the mountain appeared.

At noon, Zuo Lingquan didn’t have a sword, just walked down the street in a disciple’s robe, his eyes wandering to and from the monk.

Xie Qiutao has rich experience in life at the bottom, and his performance at this time is more natural. He stopped in front of the carpet on the street for a while, and bargained with the little cultivator.

Zuo Lingquan was also not very good at using words to obtain information, so he just acted as a bodyguard. When Qiu Tao was bargaining, he stood on the side of the road and observed the passing pedestrians. A conversation attracts:

“…It’s cold in the north, and lustful snakes are scarce. It’s hard to find lustful snake galls of this quality, but I don’t know how effective the medicine is…”

“Don’t worry, Daoist Pharmacist, he is very domineering. Two years ago, a stupefied young man came to buy it, and he didn’t ask how to use it. He secretly swallowed it on the way back.”

“Swallowing lustful snake gallbladder? The result?”

“What can be the result? It took half a month to be found by the same family. A person hugged a tree in a ravine and fought hard, like a woodpecker, dong dong dong…”

“Huh-!”

…

Zuo Lingquan was naturally not attracted by this explosive story – although there are, but not the main reason – what caught his attention was the phrase ‘cold in the north’.

Zuo Lingquan pretended to be attracted by the topic, and walked slowly to the door of the medicine store to watch. It could be seen that there was an old man inside. The realm should be in the middle and late stages of Youhuang, and it was definitely not low in the market. The sign hanging on his waist was very unfamiliar. Through the understanding of these days, it is not like Kui Bingzhou’s sect.

The result was not what Zuo Lingquan expected, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy quickly said again:

“I heard that Beishouzhou does not produce lustful snakes. What kind of things do fellow Daoists over there usually use to replenish their bodies?”

The old man who bought the herbs responded: “Suo Yanzi, the fairy grass brought by Mei Xianjun in the past is suitable for cultivation in the alpine zone.

“Mei Xianjun is a female cultivator, and she still brings this kind of thing?”

“What you said is wrong. Doctors are benevolent. How can medicinal herbs be said to be high or low? You still open a pharmacy, and you don’t have any consciousness at all?”

“That’s right, I’m superficial. The immortal seems to be not low-minded. This time, he came all the way to Jiugong Mountain to find an opportunity?”

“No, come by the way and help fellow Daoists bring a letter…”

…

The two people in the shop kept talking, Zuo Lingquan listened carefully, trying to get valuable information from it.

But after listening for a while, I didn’t hear the main point, but Yu Guang realized that something was wrong.

In the blink of an eye, Qiu Tao, who had been bargaining in front of the street stall, didn’t even say hello to him. He walked to the exit of the market by himself, and walked out half a block of distance without a sound…

—–

a moment ago.

With a very cute smile, Xie Qiutao squatted on the street and bargained with the monks who set up the stall to buy a turtle shell from the stall.

Xie Qiutao has a deep research on turtles. The little dragon turtle she picked up is still kept in Cui Yingying’s attic, and the turtle shell in front of her is very similar to hers, and it is not surprising that it is the same kind.

Spiritual beasts all have a place to live, and there must be an exclusive blessing for such spiritual beasts nearby. Xie Qiutao should buy a turtle shell next, and the most wanted to ask is the origin of this turtle shell.

It’s a pity that the monks who set up the stalls are also experts.

Even if Xie Qiutao bought it, the news he got might have been picked up at random. Naturally, he couldn’t waste money, so he kept arguing with the cultivator. Anyway, she and Zuo Lingquan had nothing else to do.

But Xie Qiutao didn’t pull for a long time, when someone suddenly stopped beside him, then squatted beside him, picked up the turtle shell on the stall and looked carefully.

Xie Qiutao Yu Guang first glanced at Zuo Lingquan, saw that he was listening to the wall at the door of the drugstore, only a few meters away, then retracted his gaze, looked at the people around him, and was stunned for a moment.

The person beside him was a middle-aged man in a green robe. He looked to be in his thirties. He had a bamboo flute stuck at his waist. He looked very unfamiliar, but that was not the point. .

The brand is all black and made of water jade. The front is embossed with a combination of turtles and snakes. The workmanship is exquisite. As for the back, although Xie Qiutao can’t see it, he knows that it must be engraved with the word ‘Xuanwu’ – because of such a brand, she also has a piece of Xuanwu. The waist badge of the desk.

? !

When Xie Qiutao met old things in a foreign country, no matter how good Xie Qiutao’s mind was, his mind was shocked at this time, and he lost his mind for a moment.

“Fellow Daoist, how do you sell this tortoise shell?”

“Eight hundred gods’ money, don’t bargain, this little fairy wants to buy it too. According to the rules, the two of you discuss it, whoever bids the most will go to the other.”

“Oh, girl, you want to buy this turtle shell too? … girl?”

…

Xie Qiutao didn’t listen to the noisy words at all. It wasn’t until the middle-aged man shook her hand that she realized that she was showing something strange, and quickly calmed down and responded:

“I’m just looking at it casually, you can take it if you want.”

“Oh, thank you so much.”

The middle-aged man didn’t seem to be short on money. He took out eight golden baht and handed it to the vendor. He got up and followed the team. There were about ten people in the team. There were men and women in uniform. It looked like a sect who went out to buy supplies. monk.

Xie Qiutao knew that she was in a wrong state, and the tremor in her mind made her almost unable to think. Her eyes wandered over the sign on the middle-aged man’s waist, trying to convince herself that it was just a coincidence; but as the middle-aged man walked around, the words ‘Xuanwu’ on the back of the sign After revealing, UU read www.uukanshu. The bitterness and anger of com’s wandering alone for many years can no longer be suppressed, and his footsteps can’t help but follow.

Fortunately, not too far away, Xie Qiutao’s wrist was held by a warm thug, and soft words came from beside him:

“Junior sister, don’t call me when you go back after shopping. If master knows that you are going home alone, he will scold me again…”

Xie Qiutao returned to her senses a little, and turned her eyes to see Zuo Lingquan standing beside her, smiling, but looking at her suspiciously.

“Brother…”

After Xie Qiutao murmured two words from her lips, it was difficult for him to brew words, so he secretly took out his waist card, put it in Zuo Lingquan’s hand, and continued to walk forward.

Zuo Lingquan calmly sensed the lower waist card, his eyes naturally fell on the waist of the middle-aged man in front, and he was stunned for a while…
