Those years of farming in the mountains

Chapter 259 Under the Mountain
The sword washing technique shone on the bronze mirror, and an inch of spiritual light flickered non-stop. After dozens of breaths, he stopped voluntarily before slowly returning to his calm appearance.

Looking at the mirror again, it seems to have changed, but after a closer look, it is the same as before.

The spirit drills into the mirror and walks in it.From time to time, I can see some subtle spiritual attachments, which are very pure, and it is particularly conspicuous when gathered together with a bunch of colorful ones on the side.

Tried to disperse, but these pure spirits were firmly grasped in the mirror and never went away.Chen Yu thought for a while, touched the opponent with mana, induced changes, and gradually outlined the symbols.

If one can engrave the spiritual script into it, and then assemble it by itself, there will be an additional tool that can release spells.

Feeling that this man-made spiritual weapon seemed to work, he continued to pull and move it, and the entangled spirituality was stripped away and turned into thin textures.

Mana invades a little to maintain form.

Bang!
After a few strokes, each stroke is more difficult to outline. It is necessary to stabilize the previously inscribed lines. As a result, before the first spiritual script is formed, the pure spirituality that has been precipitated is quickly exhausted, and it collapses quickly when it is unsustainable. , He felt powerless about this, so he had to let them gather together again, curled up in a corner and remained motionless.

After a while, Chen Yu changed his mind and tried to pinch out a strand with his mental strength to see if he could take it.Can't make spiritual weapons, and it's not bad to increase mana after taking it.However, after the painstaking cutting, it brought a mouthful of copper rust, and the slight bitterness accompanied by a little fishy and spicy stimulated his soul.

I feel like I am holding a copper plate and gnawing on it.

Since eating spirituality, he has never tasted such an unpalatable taste, and he has carefully perceived that although spirituality is pure enough, it is not effective in strengthening mana.

The insight technique condensed the light ball, repeated several times, and combined with the indescribable eating experience, he confirmed that the spiritual food precipitated by the bronze mirror under the action of the sword washing technique was of little significance.

Eating this is totally asking for guilt.

Chen Yu gave up his plan to feed on it, and continued to stretch out his hand, constantly evaporating his mana, and landed sword washing techniques on the bronze mirror one after another.

Finally, after less than half an hour, the bronze mirror that has supported a full 84 sword washing techniques has reached its limit, and its hardness and toughness are far beyond the previous ones.And the spirituality extracted from it is even greater.

Inject mana again and try to outline the spirit text.

However, even if there is a large amount of spirituality extracted, coupled with the assistance of mana, it is still not enough to describe a complete set of spiritual combination spells.

During the process, Chen Yu also realized that this road might not work either.The stability of these spirits is too poor, and they fluctuate continuously while adhering to the copper mirror, making it difficult to solidify.

In this way, the spiritual text could not be concluded, and the idea of ​​man-made spiritual weapons was only started and then ended, and there was no way to realize it.

Put the bronze mirror depicting the cranes in the mountains and clouds in your hand and look at it.The sword washing technique has been improved to the extreme, and there is no further possibility. He put away the mirror, but did not throw it aside or hang it back on the plaque in front of the Taoist temple.

Instead, he chose to bury it in the soil, deliberately found a small open space, dug a hole, and threw a grain of inspiration into it.

Originally, it was just a dead thing, and it had been cultivated for half a year without much change. Now that it has separated out its spirituality, it can be regarded as having an extraordinary and refined foundation.

There is no way forward by relying on magic, he secretly thought in his heart, perhaps through the catalysis of inspiration, this bronze mirror containing pure spirituality will undergo some interesting changes.

Not only the bronze mirror was buried in this pit, but also the stones from the previous two trials of the sword-washing technique, and the missing half pair of jades, which were also purified by the sword-washing technique and then filled in the soil and planted.

"That jade is weird. After undergoing [-] times of sword washing, it no longer improves. The texture is even worse than ordinary stones?"

And it doesn't have any spirituality at all, you must know that chalcedony was used on it at the beginning, it was a product from Xiaonian world somewhere in Tianwaitian, after dripping it, the quality of jade jue was improved several chips, comparable to top-grade precious jade.

A total of three to five drops were used, most of which were used on Yujue in his hand, and the remaining drop was given to Mangosteen later. I wanted to see if it would cause any changes, but nothing happened.

"Washing swordsmanship and refining jade, the quality seems to have been improved again. I don't know if it can transition from quantitative change to qualitative change when it is buried in the soil again."

After the burial was completed, Chen Yu sank his mind, waiting for the changes of a few things in the pit, in order to verify the connection between the sword washing technique and the inspiration.

In a blink of an eye, February came to the end of the month, and winter finally packed up its bags and went away. The spring breeze blew, the chill gradually dissipated, and the warm current floated down the mountain.

In the past, on such a day, it was unavoidable for friends to get together, climb mountains and lakes, and drink water.The end of winter and the beginning of spring are the seasons when literati and poets are full of spiritual thoughts.

However, this year is a little different, the atmosphere is a bit depressing, even in the remote Shiya County, the atmosphere at this time is even like the twelfth lunar month of winter, half a month ago, there were farmers plowing the soil, but today there are few people Hang out and hang out.

On February 21st, there was some light rain, and the mountain road was wet. It was rare for Chen Yu to trek down from Qingtai Mountain, where he had lived in a small house for several months.Flying all the way into the rainbow, in the blue light of the sky, he carved spiritual scripts while waving his hands. The developed illusion technique was slightly concealed, and he boldly and confidently flew through the hundreds of feet of air.

Even if there are pedestrians looking around, they will only see a continuous and clear flame, or think that it is caused by the changing sky and clouds, and they will be amazed for a while and will not think about it.

Riding the Weathering Rainbow Art is no longer as scary as it was at the beginning. The phoenix sharp effect derived from the sawgrass has been integrated into the art. It can change direction and increase speed quietly, as fast as thunder At the same time extremely agile.

But it's not without possibility of improvement. He also thought about looking for an iron sword and putting it under his feet in the future, and engraved the spell on the sword body at that time, so that it would be much more comfortable for those who travel back and forth with multiple steps.Instead of having to stagnate in the air every time you want to do something, it looks very dull.

And with the sword washing technique, it may not be impossible to turn ordinary gold and iron into spiritual weapons.Although the only long-lasting lamp that can be called a spiritual weapon in Chen Yu's hands so far, it was catalyzed by an inspiration after planting in the ground, and its effect cannot be replicated.

"This time I went to the city to buy some gold and iron, and try the effect of washing swordsmanship."

The Taoist temple on the mountain is barren, and there are few other things except vegetation, earth and rocks. Considering that I still have some money on my body, it is probably not enough to buy jade, but I should be able to buy some iron and copper utensils.

The last time Uncle Liu nominally gave Yunhe Taoist Temple a hundred taels of silver to take care of him, and since he has never been down the mountain, there is still a lot left.

Whoosh!
The spiritual light jumped, and the clouds and mists passed through, causing the white clouds to sway for a while.

Behind him, the flames were fragmented, and the shining sun spread out a large area of ​​brilliant iridescent colors, which echoed the sky and clouds.

On the back of the mountain not far away, a small and exquisite city squeezed between the low mountains gradually appeared.

Shiya County, here we come.

……

"It's quite deserted."

Pedestrians on the street are in twos and threes, the bustle of the past few times is gone, and even the hawkers on the street are gone, only a few people are still sticking to it, but there is a faint sense of anxiety and impatience in the calls , seems unwilling to stay in the city for a long time.

"Master Xiaodao, the rumors are getting tighter, if you want to buy something, hurry up, then leave, don't stay any longer."

In front of the door, a group of armored soldiers walked by arrogantly. Sometimes people on both sides of the street shouted and howled in pain, and then there were crackling, beating and cursing.

Go all the way, all the way brutal.

At this time, another scream sounded from across the street, the voice was old, occasionally mixed with the voice of a child crying.

Chen Yu frowned, and walked quickly to the corner of the city alley where the movement was heard after the pedestrians who were stopped to ask for directions left in panic and bowed their heads.

An old man with a messy beard and hair was holding a young child in his arms, surrounded by dirt, and slapped the dust on the old clothes sadly.

That team of soldiers had already left.

Seeing the change of light and shadow, the old man looked up, only to find a handsome young Taoist standing at the entrance of the alley, this place is rich in water and soil Taoism, and the old man once believed in it, so he was not afraid when he saw him, and wanted to struggle Standing up, but trembling for a while, unable to stand up.

Chen Yu's eyes were dark, and he raised his hand to stop the other party. His gaze fell on the crying children and the old man covered in bruises.

On the side, a torn cloth bag seemed to silently accuse the group of soldiers of their atrocities.

He came closer.He stretched out his palm from the sleeve robe to help the old man lean against the wall, and then, under the gaze of the child, he patted the footprints on the corner of the other's clothes and abdomen without saying a word.

The child whimpered, and the old man murmured as if to thank him.

Where the two couldn't see, wisps of blue light penetrated into the bodies of both of them, and the mana was milder than the inner qi. Although it didn't have the effect of healing wounds, it could activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis and dredge joints with the cooperation of spirit and perception.

Turning the palm, the two red-brown pills were crushed, melted under the magic power, turned into fine dust and seeped into the bodies of the two along with the exposed body surface.

The qi and blood pill is also effective for ordinary people, and it can replenish qi and blood, which is undoubtedly evident at this moment.

The old and the young felt a little warm, and the pain all over their bodies was dissipating.But for a while, it was only an illusion, and it was not related to the Taoist.

Only when the child's eyes were full of tears, he couldn't help but leaned up towards the generous hand stroking his head, it was very warm, as if he was bathing in the sun.

After a long time, Chen Yu stopped, smiled kindly, and turned to leave.

"Dao... Daoist!"

The old man spoke, but no one was there.

"Aye, Aye! The swelling is gone!" The old and the young rested for a while, at this time the children opened their eyes wide and told the old man that the bruises and bruises on his face had disappeared.

The old man was amazed, those soldiers and thieves didn't hold back much just now, and they all tried their best to grab the property left by their children.

I thought I wouldn't be able to last long with this old bone. Poor girl is young, without her parents, Aye, how will she live in the future?Sadness started from the heart, and it was only after the child reminded me at this moment that it seemed that my whole body was warm and full of energy.

It was the Taoist just now! ?
The old man raised his head, but he didn't know that he had met an expert.A jump jumped up from the ground, his body was very flexible, better than before he was raped.Regardless of experience and joy, he hurried out of the alley with the child in his arms, looked around, but couldn't find the young Taoist priest again.

pat!

An object fell at the foot, and the child in his arms pulled Aye, and the other party looked along his fingers—a bulging bag lying quietly on the ground.

There is no one on the left or right, as if appearing out of thin air.

The old man swallowed, and tremblingly lifted the package in his hand, and the touch inside made his face move.

Untie it, it is the property that was robbed from my own family!
"The Immortal Family Appears! Dao Lord Appears!"

Leaving aside the tears of the old man who recovered from the street crossing, and the soldiers who were stripped to the ground and fainted, Chen Yu, who had put away his illusion technique, had already arrived at the original grain store, but after Uncle Liu left, It has only been in operation for more than a month, and the relatives of the other party obviously have no intention of continuing for a long time.

"Back then, I used some methods of top masters, so I thought it wouldn't make things difficult for Uncle Liu."

With the existence of a top expert, he believed that the junior who accompanied his uncle at that time would pass the corresponding situation to the family.

Besides, there have been correspondences since then. From the letters, it can be seen that the uncle's life is much more leisurely than his.

Retirement with peace of mind is all it takes.

Once again, I went to a bookstore in the city, where there is often a letter delivery business. There is a post station in Daliang, but unfortunately it has been abandoned for many years.But this time, listening to the owner of the bookstore, it seems that this shop will also close down, because the noise has been too loud recently.

"Song Butcher has come to Xizhou, and he is in Guangyong Mansion!"

After several times of understanding, he suddenly understood why the city was so cold, with groups of armored soldiers patrolling back and forth.

"It turns out that the mountain has been changed to yuan?"

Not only that, the White Lotus Sect, which had caused a sensation in Xizhou earlier, was also suppressed, and Wudou Dao even lost its troops and died at the beginning of the year.The Emperor Daliang saw that the Jiedu envoys in various places were increasingly refusing to listen to the call, so he spread the word in all directions in Jiankang, and named several Jiedu envoys, only to tear his face in the end.

Yanming, Luosong, Pingyuan, Anfeng, Surabaya...

In the southeast and northwest, in the north and south of the Yangtze River, and in the east and west of the river, the ten Jiedu of Daliang have now expanded their power to the point where even the imperial court finds it difficult to ride a tiger.

Just when the local military town was in turmoil with the imperial court, Song Butcher, who had won the title of General Zhenxi in the previous suppression of the Taoyang bandits, turned out to be a dragon meeting the water and riding the wind.Being reused by the imperial court with no soldiers available, it not only recognized the self-retention of Xizhou, but also encouraged the other party to go to Tuofang and Liqu to suppress the rebellion.

Being promoted to rank and rank, and making steady progress in the sky, it seems that he has the posture of being a marquis.

The imperial court's calculations were loud, and the Ming Festival was next to that area, as well as the rebellious natives and tribes. When several parties gather together, there will always be consumption, and whoever kills them will be worthwhile.

How can a shrewd person like Butcher Song not understand, so it took more than a month to dispatch troops, and this is still in Xizhou, his headquarters.He called for illness on the way, or claimed that there was not enough money and food, and repeated it several times. From the beginning of the year to the present, tens of thousands of troops are stationed at the border of Xizhou. Step, as steady as Mount Tai.

"Tuo Fang and Li Qu turned against each other?"

"Not only that, Fengqing, the most important place in the south of the Yangtze River, was taken down early, and now it calls itself the Salvation Army, sweeping the land of three prefectures and seven prefectures. For food supplies, it may not be effective even if a few strong troops from the north who are fighting against the barbarians of the Qi State go south. Otherwise, how dare the local Jiedu be so presumptuous."

Chen Yu was stunned, and suddenly felt that he had only stayed on the mountain for a few more months, but he had an inexplicable feeling that the situation was changing rapidly.

Shaking his head, it was useless to think too much, he would never fly to the general's mansion and slap the butcher general to death.

In that case, the southwestern land will only become more chaotic.

After receiving this letter, which was probably the last letter in a while, Chen Yu opened it to read it.Master Liu's words were mostly greetings and chatting about Yunhe's affairs.

Put away the letter paper, no return post this time.He knew where Uncle Liu lived, and with the Riding the Weathering Rainbow Art in hand, he would be able to arrive there in two to three quarters of an hour.

"It's just right, I will go to visit my senior uncle along the way, and send the drinks taken out of Jiuguo."

He kept some of the wine in the Lingzhi wine fruit, and occasionally used it in cooking, but most of it was packaged into a small clay jar, and he planned to bring it to the uncle to taste.
