Alienated Martial Arts

Behind the light, there is always darkness.

But outside of the magnificence, there are more gloomy and gloomy hidden.

The same is true for Baifeng City.

There is both prosperity and chaos.

Rough buildings block the light.

The streets are dark and decaying.

Garbage accumulations can be seen everywhere, and muddy sewage will be splashed when the wheels are run over.

A few ragged men squatted in the corner, secretly observing the passing pedestrians, whispering to each other from time to time.

Not long after, they set their sights on a drunk.

They got up from the wall one after another, approaching the past as if inadvertently.

The drunk seemed unaware of this, and staggered towards the wall with the unfinished wine jar in one hand.

The two sides are getting closer and closer, and they will soon meet at an intersection.

At this moment, three carriages turned into Long Street.

There is no sign on the carriage, and it is completely impossible to tell which company it is.

The coachman swung his long whip, and the black carriage began to trot.

Wei Tao stared at the beggars on the side of the road, the idlers who gathered to brag, and the rats running in groups, and finally set his sights on the drunks at the intersection.

He frowned slightly, and stretched out his hand to close the curtain of the carriage.

The moment when the light is completely blocked.

Sen Han's murderous intent erupted without warning.

The aura gathers and then explodes.

There were also angry cry signs in the middle.

And the shrill and distorted screams.

It appeared that something had hit the compartment.

Suddenly there was a dull impact sound.

Mixed with the sound of the wheels rolling over the ground, it sounds like there is a strange sense of rhythm.

A faint smell of blood permeated the air.

Then it quickly became thicker, and passed into the compartment through the gaps in the doors and windows.

Wei Tao closed his eyes and sat back on the cushion.

He also put down the teacup that he had just picked up.

"Mr. Wei, don't be nervous."

Yan Ling, who was sitting across from her, had a calm expression, without any trace of panic, "It's just something that shouldn't be put on the table, and they only dare to use dark means to cause trouble. It only takes Aunt Feng to clean them up."

"I'm not nervous, it's just that I've been reminded of a long time ago."

"Oh?"

Yan Ling rolled her eyes, and asked with interest, "Could it be that Mr. Wei had such a life experience before?"

Wei Tao stroked the soft cushion at hand, and said in a calm tone, "I have experienced this kind of environment and this kind of life, so I have been reminded of it, and I don't know when I will be able to go back and have a look. "

Speaking of this, he suddenly changed the subject, "However, what I have experienced in the past was just the fights of some small gangs, and the fights were just for some insignificant money.

Compared with what is happening now, that is a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning, something that is really not on the table. "

"Did Mr. Wei see it?"

Yan Ling was startled for a moment, then smiled, "Ordinary people have hardships like ordinary people, and big families have difficulties like big families.

Sometimes I also often wonder if I am not a member of Chishan Yan's family, but just an ordinary spiritualist, can I live a quiet and peaceful life.

But it is a pity that reality is reality, and there is no if at all. Since I have accepted the various benefits brought by this identity, I must face the resulting competition and pressure. "

Wei Tao opened his eyes, "So, the competition between your family is to take people's lives?"

"In most cases, it is not. The elders and family rules will severely punish this kind of behavior. After all, if this has always been the case, even the largest family can't stand such internal friction."

Yan Ling shook her head first, but then nodded slightly.

"It's just that now it's time for a new generation of young children to participate in the selection, which will be related to the difference of at least dozens or hundreds of years later, and may even lead to the rise and fall of a certain house.

Therefore, even if the methods become more drastic, several high-ranking family elders will turn a blind eye and close one eye. As long as there is no too much chaos, they will not pursue it too much.

Maybe Mr. Wei will be surprised, but I have heard a lot of related stories since I was a child, and I have long been accustomed to it, and I am not surprised. "

"Miss Yan is calm, but for me, my life is in danger."

Wei Tao picked up his tea and took a sip, "You must know that the battles I have experienced before were nothing more than you punching me and kicking me, and there were not many people holding knives and swords. In the end, when you came up here, it was a spiritual confrontation. It made me a little scared.”

"What's more, Ms. Yan's status is noble, and those people will be scruples if she thinks about it.

But I'm different, I'm just a spirit planter with little fighting power, and I fell into this kind of chaos all of a sudden..."

Having said that, he stopped talking.

He just drank the tea in the cup slowly, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

Yan Ling lowered her eyes, looking at the slightly shaking low table in front of her.

At the same time, the turmoil and screams outside gradually subsided.

The carriage resumed its original speed and began to drive out of the city.

"I understand Mr. Wei's concerns."

Yan Ling exhaled lightly.

Then he said at this moment, "I'll add money."

Immediately afterwards, an embroidered bag appeared on the low table.

There was a ding-dong sound inside, and it sounded involuntarily refreshing.

"These are ten pieces of chalcedony, first use them to scare Mr. Wei."

"In addition, the reward has been increased to fifty pieces of chalcedony, plus the optional selection of spiritual planting practice materials."

"Going a step further, if Mr. Wei can solve the illness of our ancestors, I can even double the salary."

It is easy and pleasant to communicate with smart people.

There is no need to say much at all, and the other party can consciously respond correctly.

Quietly, the embroidered bag disappeared.

Wei Tao picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, "Miss Yan doesn't need to think too much, I've always been very reasonable, since I've promised you, I'll naturally help you.

And I also hope that Ms. Yan can stand out, so whether it is for you or me, it is actually a good thing. "

The carriage moved forward slowly.

A mutilated corpse was left behind.

Aunt Feng took a deep breath and wiped away the blood on her body.

They quickly emerged from the run-down streets.

Come to the bustling and wide avenue again.

Then drive towards the city gate facing south.

Inside the carriage, Wei Tao opened the side curtain, watching the people coming and going outside, with a clear expression flashing across his face.

"What happened just now, was Ms. Yan doing it on purpose to get the bait of the enemy hiding in the dark?"

Yan Ling nodded slowly, "Yes, we are going back to Chishan soon, it is best to clean up the rats in the gutters in advance, so as to prevent them from spreading the news, and to deceive a certain brother as much as possible A sister's gaze."

Wei Tao asked again, "How far is the distance between Baifeng City and Chishan?"

"It's a long distance, but I prepared a floating spirit boat early on, and it won't take too long to fly all the way there."

She glanced at the city wall that was close in front of her eyes, and extended her eyes through the doorway, "However, it is impossible for us to ride the spirit boat all the time, after all, its target is too obvious, and it will be easy for others to stare at it when it approaches Chishan. So the last part of the journey is still to come down and walk."

After half an hour.

The carriage stopped at a clearing on a river beach.

Wei Tao's curiosity was also satisfied at this time.

A shuttle airship is parked on the ground.

It is about 30 meters long and as tall as a two-story building.

The surface pattern is engraved with complicated rune lines, which are intertwined and intertwined with each other, and finally all of them are submerged in the protruding cabin of the floating boat, and the whole body exudes a strong spiritual atmosphere.

There are already several people waiting by the river.

Seeing the carriage approaching, they went up to meet it.

Yan Ling smiled, and naturally incorporated Wei Tao into the team.

Even let him stand by his side.

Immediately, all kinds of eyes fell on him, either explicitly or secretly.

Wei Tao didn't respond to this.

At this moment, all his attention was attracted by the lines on the surface of the spirit boat.

While copying those complicated rune lines, the whole person soon fell into deep thinking.

Aunt Feng and a middle-aged man whispered something, and the two quickly finished their communication, one on the left and the other on the right to support Yan Ling.

They knew the real purpose of this trip, and they knew what kind of danger they were facing.

That was a hidden arrow from within Chishan Yan's family.

Although the lady's trip is hidden, it will inevitably fall into the eyes of people with ulterior motives, so all kinds of dangers and obstacles are absolutely indispensable along the way.

Their task is to protect the young lady and return to the core area of ​​the family safely.

As for the selection and inheritance of the spiritual meaning of the sacred tree later, it is no longer something that servants like them can intervene.

"Mr. Wei."

"Mr. Wei?"

Wei Tao suddenly came back to his senses, and turned to look at Yan Ling.

"It's time for us to set off, Mr. Wei, please come aboard with me."

As she walked towards the entrance of the spirit boat, she said slowly, "There are still a few spirit planters inside. If you are interested, sir, you can also communicate with them about the practice of spirit planting."

Wei Tao responded casually, his mind still immersed in the talisman lines on the surface of the spirit boat.

The two, one in front and one behind, walked through the aisle inside the spirit boat.

From time to time on the road, I met the spiritual master of the Yan family.

They saluted respectfully at a distance, and waited until the two of them passed by before starting to get busy with their own affairs.

Yan Ling often smiled to signal, and sometimes stopped to chat with others, completely unable to see Miss Yan's airs.

She sent Wei Tao to the assigned room, and asked in detail if she had any living requirements, then closed the door and turned to leave.

Click!

Accompanied by a slight vibration.

The spirit boat rose from the ground and slowly floated into the air.

Then it rose higher and higher until it sank into the clouds above.

Wei Tao pushed the door out and stood in front of the corridor window.

Looking at the ground that was getting farther and farther outside, he carefully sensed the spiritual flow on the surface of the spirit boat, and quickly put all his attention into it.

Unknowingly, suddenly a little inspiration flashed.

It made him a breakthrough in the construction of the second Jialan pattern.

"Little friend is also the spirit planter invited by Miss Yan?"

Suddenly, an old voice sounded slowly.

An old man with white beard and hair and wearing a green robe came out from around the corner, followed by a young man who seemed to be his disciple.

Wei Tao remained motionless, his hands hidden in his sleeves seemed to be plucking strings non-stop, and at the same time he was constructing the pattern of the second spirit pattern deep in his consciousness.

After a moment of silence, the old man went on to say, "This old man is Duanmuxun of Xuelian Mountain. The kid looks a bit unfamiliar. I don't know which fellow Lingzhi master's disciple?"

Wei Tao still didn't respond.

At this moment, his spirit was highly concentrated, and he carefully completed the last few lines of spirit runes.

Seeing this, the young man behind the old man couldn't help but frowned, and his face turned cold instantly.

He took a step forward and was about to speak.

But he was pulled back by the old man, beckoning not to be impulsive.

At this moment, the window suddenly went dark.

The spirit boat got into the clouds, cutting off the last rays of the setting sun.

The next moment, the lights were silently lit.

Light up the suddenly dark corridor again.

And between the light and dark transition, there seemed to be a light click.

Swing quietly in the depths of Wei Tao's consciousness.

The construction of Jialan's second spirit pattern was completed at this time.

In the status bar, the skill interface finally has a new change.

Name: Second Spirit Rune.

Progress: ten percent.

Status: Beginner and practicer.

Description: Use God to lead the spirit, and the void to rely on.

"Whether to consume a gold coin in the status bar to increase the progress of the second spirit pattern practice."

Wei Tao took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly, a joyful expression flashed between his brows.

He closed the status bar, finally turned around, and set his sights on the two of them.

"I was thinking about something just now. I'm sorry I didn't hear what the old man said."

"This old man is Duanmu Xun of Snow Lotus Mountain. I don't know which fellow Lingzhi master's disciple is my little friend?"

"I am a disciple of Master Zhou of the Red Line Sect."

Wei Tao didn't hesitate this time, and responded casually.

Red line door, Master Zhou?
The old man in green robe thought for a while, and he was sure that he had never heard of this name before.

The next moment, a smile appeared on his face, "It turns out that he is a senior disciple of the Red Line Sect. I don't know what spiritual planting technique my little friend is proficient in. What thoughts and opinions do you have about the situation facing the Chishan Spiritual Domain Sacred Tree?"

Hearing this, Wei Tao couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

It was because the old gentleman's tone and expression were too serious, which made him a little confused, and even a little doubtful, whether there is really a red line door for cultivating spirit planters in Fangtiandi.

After a moment of silence, he said slowly, "I'm proficient in moving clouds and rain, and I also have some experience in planting trees, but I haven't seen the sacred tree yet, so it's too early to talk about my thoughts and opinions, and I still have to get close before I can prescribe the right medicine. "

Duanmuxun's eyes sparkled, and he was about to say something more, but he kept silent when he saw Aunt Feng who was walking quickly.

"Mr. Duanmu and Mr. Wei, the dinner is ready, Miss invites you two to the banquet."

There are several tables already set up in the restaurant.

Seeing Wei Tao and the others coming in, Yan Ling got up immediately and greeted them.

After some courtesies, everyone sat down according to the guidance, quietly waiting for the banquet to start.

Yan Ling naturally sat at the head of the first table.

Beside them are Aunt Feng and the leader of the guard named Jing Rong.

One left and one right protect her in the middle.

Next, apart from Duanmu Xun and his disciples, there was also a serious man in black and a middle-aged woman who was covered with ornaments.

After Yan Ling's introduction one by one, Wei Tao has a general understanding of the other two.

They are also invited spirit planters.

The black-clothed man's name is Xin Chi, and he is better at refining and expelling poison.

The middle-aged woman's name is Dai Yang, and she has unique insights in killing spiritual insects.

After some chatting, the table was quickly filled with food and wine.

Seeing that the atmosphere was more active, and the invited spirit planters were getting familiar with each other, Yan Ling raised her wine glass and looked around with a smile on her face.

"Everyone is a spiritual planter with special skills. I hope that everyone can work together and cooperate sincerely this time. As long as I can find out the cause of the ancestor's disease at home, the little girl will definitely repay you.

And if the disease can be cured by medicine and the ancestors of the sacred tree can be cured, you will be the benefactors of my Yan Ling, and you will also be the distinguished guests of our Yan family, and even gain the friendship of the entire Chishan Spiritual Realm. "

"Come on, let's drink this cup together, I wish you a smooth trip and success in no time!"

Everyone stood up at the same time and drank the wine in their glasses.

Bang!
At this moment, without any warning, the entire floating spirit boat shook violently.

In an instant, the hull tilted, and the delicious food and wine on the table spilled all over the floor.

The whole small hall is filled with the aroma of wine and food.

Yan Ling's complexion changed, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.

The leader of the guard, Jing Rong, came to the door in a flash.

At this moment, his heart was filled with anger.

If something goes wrong at such a time, he, the leader of the guards, may be at the end of his job.

Bang!
As soon as Jing Rong's outstretched hand touched the door of the dining room, he felt a huge force coming and hit him heavily.

Ding Ding Deng!
He took several steps back.

The sharp pain in his palm made his complexion change even more.

Just now at the moment when Juli emerged, he had subconsciously launched a spiritual spell, but he still couldn't resist the cold force coming from outside the door, and even hurt his body at the moment of contact.

"Magic!?"

Jing Rong clenched his teeth and said every word.
