The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 832: Relic Pagoda

"For example, there are five 'Enlightened Beasts' in this city, standing in front of the four gates in the east, south, west and north, and the gate of the imperial palace. If you want their bodies and flesh, you have to find a way to kill them.

“However, even the ‘Enlightened Beasts’ at the four gates of East, West, South and North have top-notch magical powers, and the one in front of the palace gate is even at the ‘Dongxuan’ level.

"Almost all important buildings in the city have treasures, but the forces guarding the treasures are not weak. If you want to get them, you will have to spend some effort. If you are 'seen' and reported to the police, you will have to face the pursuit of the 'officials' of this city, as well as the robbery of other people who enter this 'secret realm'."

Zhong Ying briefly recounted the information he had heard.

This actually didn't take her much effort, because almost everyone in the city knew about it, as if they were deliberately telling these outsiders.

"Is the enlightened beast...alive?" Zhao Chen asked subconsciously.

"It may be that it was revived from the flesh and blood of the enlightened beast at the 'Shengxuan' level. I am not sure about the specific situation." Zhong Ying said hesitantly, "But I guess it should also be related to the great magical power of 'Night Light'."

Zhao Chen nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask: "Then where are our targets, 'Puzzle of Yaochi' and the great magical power 'Light of the Dark Night'?"

“Such an important treasure is naturally in the palace, and the palace is guarded most strictly.

"Not only are there enlightened beasts at the level of Dongxuan guarding the palace gates, but there is also a magical army of 300 people inside... and each palace is guarded by masters... It is said that there are even real people who have opened the 'Dharma Domain'." Zhong Ying said seriously, "In addition, there is no relevant information about where the two items are in the palace."

The Liang Palace is not small. If you rush in rashly, you might fight with the "Dongxuan" for no reason and get nothing.

"According to the normal cracking 'process', the 'King of Liang', who has the fate of the King of Liang, must arrive and enter the palace based on his identity... This is also one of the reasons why those magical worshippers and Dongxuan Zhenren have been waiting for King Liang to take action." Zhong Ying added a few more sentences and asked, "Should we also wait for King Liang to pass the first level before blending into his team and taking action?"

Zhao Chen did not respond immediately. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked at the pedestrians on the street outside the window and suddenly said, "Although the people in this city are all flesh and blood, they do not have spirits. The reason why they have wisdom and can communicate is actually similar to Guan Si Niang, who has only been instilled with 'data'."

"What you mean is that even if 'Light in the Dark Night' wants to give birth to a 'spirit', it is not that simple. These created mythical beasts or treasure keepers actually have flaws?" Zhong Ying said thoughtfully.

"Yes, without a spirit, even if a 'Dongxuan' is created, it won't have a very strong spiritual consciousness, and the range it can monitor is limited." Zhao Chen got to the heart of the matter, but he quickly changed the subject, "However, we have to verify it first... Let's start with an important building in the city."

"You have really learned to be 'cautious'... Well, anyway, the only people who have come here now should be a few real people from the dark, and they probably don't think highly of the magical things in the city." Zhong Ying glanced at him and said with a smile, "I just happen to have a suitable target here for you to verify."

"Where?" Zhao Chen asked curiously.

"At the original site of Daxiangyun Temple, there is a stupa with flowing light. According to rumors, the relics of the ancient 'Dragon-Subduing Arhat' are enshrined inside." Zhong Ying said with a smile.

The capital of Liang State is actually the capital of Daxia today, and some of the landforms and architectures of the two sides are similar.

"Why did you choose it?" Zhao Chen asked in confusion at first, but then he realized, "Because it's tall?"

Zhong Ying nodded slightly: "Yes, other treasure-hiding buildings are closed, and the space inside is small. This may also be to allow intruders to ignore the problem of insufficient spiritual awareness of these treasure guardians..." Only this stupa is also closed, but the relics of 'Dragon-Subduing Arhat' are enshrined on the top of the stupa, so the keeper is most likely stationed on the top of the stupa.

"This gives you the possibility to kill him with your sword at the bottom of the tower.

"After all, if there is no 'spirit', even if it is imitating spirit with Qi, it can only cover a few hundred steps at most, while that flowing light stupa is a hundred feet high."

Both of them are very active people. Now that the plan has been made, Zhao Chen rushed to the location of the Liuguang Relic Pagoda under the identity of "Danqing Sword" Hu Cheng.

On the way, Zhao Chen wanted to quietly "wake up" the white-eyed witch, but before he could take action, he learned through the "Star Chariot" that she and Yu Chao had both "awoke". He immediately guessed that the "holy lady" of the "Witch's House" must have passed the first level and came to this city.

He told this to Zhong Ying, who said indifferently: "The real people at the 'Dongxuan' level can already see through some of the essence of this world, so the reality and illusion problems at this level are naturally not difficult for them.

“Also, the real people who have entered here probably don’t want to expose their existence so early. There’s no need to worry about them before the final battle breaks out.

"Anyway, they don't dare to use their spiritual senses recklessly in this city, otherwise they will definitely be targeted by this sealed secret realm."

Hearing this, Zhao Chen nodded, chose to believe Zhong Ying's judgment, continued to move forward, and arrived in front of the Liuguang Relic Pagoda.

This tower is really tall. You can’t even see the top if you look up from close up. Fortunately, it is still within the range of Zhao Chen’s “spiritual awareness” which has been enhanced by the temporary talisman.

"I'm going in..." Zhao Chen said in his heart.

The voice of Zhong Ying, who was hiding in the shadow, soon came: "Be careful not to damage the tower. Otherwise, if you are 'seen', you will be wanted by the official forces in the city."

"I know...and this tower itself should be able to withstand attacks from magical powers..." Zhao Chen took a deep breath and stepped into the gate of Liuguang Tower.

The next moment, a scroll unfolded above his head, with blood-red ink splattered on it, revealing a broken chessboard, with a rusty sword with a wooden handle stuck in the middle of the chessboard.

When the scroll was fully presented, the long sword on the chessboard suddenly made a strange cry, then flew out of the painting, turning into a sword force and rushing straight to the top floor of the tower.

This is Hu Cheng’s “Sword of Painting and Painting” and also Yu Cheng’s “Yao Ke’s Life-Destroying Sword”!
It was not sent by Zhao Chen himself, and it was impossible for him to learn such advanced sword skills in just one afternoon. He could not even learn the prerequisite spells. But who can blame him for having the "Golden Box Five Keys"? He could buy the sword skills that Yu Cheng used himself.

At the same time, after feeling the power of the sword energy, a big monk stationed on the top of the tower immediately opened his eyes. His eyes were empty, without any mercy, but instead full of indifference.

If you look closely, you can see that he actually has some resemblance to "Zen Master Tianming".
