National Expedition: Save the Immortal World

Chapter 311 Zeng Shu’s Ghost

When Wei Cheng was helped up from the ground by Qi Mei, he saw that a settlement stone tablet had fallen.

Has the settlement started?
But that sword light just now - forget it, let's ignore it for now.

Although Wei Cheng had just exhausted his mana, he could clearly see that it was the broken sword that killed the five quasi-demon king-level demon puppets.

I don't know what happened, but it is very likely to be related to the big move of the mountain seal he just made.

Because the terrifying pressure also affected the pair of ghost men and women, and now there is only a broken sword and a tattered piece of clothing left in place, nothing else.

No matter how you look at it, they don't seem to be in much danger.

Looking at the settlement stone tablet again, the information on it really made Wei Cheng feel a little excited.

[Successfully annihilated a 5th-level difficulty puppet army of strange demons, and did not let go of a big-eyed demon who is good at reporting, so your existence is still safe. 】

[Friendly reminder [-]: The world of cultivating immortals is vast and sparsely populated. After destroying the human towns and all the cultivating sects along the way, the alien demon army will not station the alien demon team permanently. Instead, they will crazily create alien demons through curses, pollution and distortion. The puppet army continuously creates new forces in this way.As for the main army of strange demons, they are usually at the forefront, or used to break down the barriers of a certain lower realm. 】

[Friendly reminder [-]: Those responsible for guarding the territory of the alien demons are demon king-level alien demon puppets. Each demon king-level alien demon puppet has strong territorial boundaries, so congratulations, at least in the next six months, you You will get a relatively safe area, please note, it is only relatively safe. 】

[Should the current results be settled immediately? 】

[Explanation: There are currently two results that can be settled. First, annihilate the alien demon puppet army to obtain a bounty reward, and you can obtain 320 four spiritual stones. 】

[Second, sell the current area. Since you have completed the hunting mission ahead of schedule, you can sell this area. The total price given by the trial mechanism is 10 yuan of spiritual stones, but the requirement is that you must be in a Return to the trial level within an hour]

-

"I'm rough, 10 yuan of spirit stones, so what, old Wei, didn't you guess that there might be a shortage of spirit stones in the world of cultivating immortals? Why do I suddenly have a feeling of inflation?"

Zhou Wu asked in a low voice at this time, everyone was shocked, really, 10 yuan of spirit stones, a number that I would never dare to think about in my life.

This is so unreal.

"Old Zhou, shut up!"

Yang Li couldn't stand it anymore. Can this matter be confused?

"Settlement of the first result. I refuse the second one."

As expected, Wei Cheng disagreed, because this so-called safe area is an area with Tianji City as the center and a radius of thousands of miles.

Only a fool would think of packing it up and selling it without exploring it.

As a result, the stone tablet stopped being verbose, settled quickly, and then disappeared.

Wei Cheng was not too polite, without saying a word, the spirit stones he got were 100 yuan per person, and the rest belonged to him.

Ha, my wallet feels so bulging.

For a moment, everyone was in a great mood.

Just what next?

"Old Liu, you stay here and take precautions. Qimei and I will go and have a look."

Wei Cheng said in a deep voice, the bright sword light just now was too sharp and too shocking!

Without knowing whether they are friends or foes, most people on our own side would prefer to keep their distance.

And he and Qi Mei still have some self-preservation power.

The location of the broken sword was about 75 miles away from them, and the piece of worn clothing was about [-] miles away.

Wei Cheng and Qi Mei did not dare to speed up too much. They just walked over as slowly as possible, in case their speed reached a certain limit, which would trigger the snow-white sword light and kill them both off the horse.

because--

"I think these two items are probably strange rules-based objects that require certain conditions. As long as the conditions are met, they will be triggered."

Qi Mei analyzed in a low voice.

"Why do you think so and not me?"

"Does it make a difference?"

"Of course, the former is because you have read too many novels and subconsciously associate it, while the latter tends to be rational and don't think it is easy to draw conclusions."

"Old Wei, something is wrong with you."

Qi Mei raised his eyebrows and glanced at Wei Cheng suspiciously, "You actually still have the heart to quarrel with me under such circumstances. Could it be that you have discovered something?"

"I didn't find anything, I just felt that I seemed to have met an acquaintance."

Wei Cheng's expression was a little emotional and sad.

"What do you think? Humph! We should bring Yang Li with us to prevent us from falling into the rules and being unable to save ourselves."

"Since it is a rule, how can there be hallucinations? Believe me, it is just a word game to fool children who are not smart. It is not much smarter than a little kid squatting on the ground and setting up various obstacles for a nest of ants. , the rules don’t work like this, unless you think that our enemies are all children from a higher plane.”

The two people in Wei Cheng talked and kept approaching the broken sword, but there was no movement until they were 100 meters away from the broken sword.

After looking at each other solemnly, Wei Cheng took out the Thousand Machines Mirror.

The time to verify his guess has come.

The magic power circulated slowly, and Wei Cheng's thoughts automatically formed a series of basic runes. After several structural reorganizations, the calming spell was formed. Then he merged the Thousand Machines Treasure Mirror with the calming spell. In an instant, a colorful ray of light shone. He came out and landed on the broken sword.

At this moment, among the broken swords, a tall, dignified, self-confident man slowly walked up. He looked to be only in his twenties, but his eyes held the look of hundreds of years. Vicissitudes of life.

This is a powerful immortal cultivator.

Even though his physical body was no longer there, just a casual sweep made him so shocked that his eyebrows turned pale and he couldn't stand steadily. She had to hide behind Wei Cheng and hold on to Wei Cheng's arm to hold on. She simply couldn't imagine what this was going to do. Such a presence, just one look could almost kill her.

On the contrary, Wei Cheng could barely hold on. Without him, his mental power would just be stronger.

"You can concentrate spells, and you have this - the treasure mirror of thousands of machines, so, you are my disciple of the Palace of Thousands of Machines?"

The man spoke, his voice was like gold and stone, with endless majesty.

Wei Cheng looked at him, looking at the slightly familiar face and facial features. This was Zeng Shu.

In the real world of immortal cultivation, there is a fierce man of Qianji Palace, a person on the 92nd floor of the Ladder Realm.

And the Zeng Shu he saw in the trial level was just a little kid.

In the blink of an eye, Wei Cheng had already made a decision. He first held his eyebrows, then knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Wei Cheng, the registered disciple of Qianji Palace, pays homage to the Patriarch!"

"Just a registered disciple? Do you have a status jade card!"

Zeng Shu's voice even revealed a bit of murderous aura and invisible pressure. Even the broken sword was trembling slightly, as if cheering and jumping for joy, as if it was about to be unsheathed, and blood was seen when it was unsheathed. Although it no longer has a scabbard, it does not prevent it from killing the two of them with just one thought from Zeng Shu.

Qi Mei was trembling and about to faint. At this moment, she felt that she was not seeing an immortal cultivator or a person, but a low-level being. Suddenly she saw a high-level being. The kind of excitement that came from the depths of her soul. The fear deep within her own genes made her feel that she could be crushed in an instant. All her pride, all her self-confidence, and everything else were worthless in the face of such an existence.

Fairy tales are all lies.

The novels are all lies.

How can grandpa be so easy to talk to?

Just like how can a person on earth think that a little ant has a handsome face and a teachable child, and is willing to give advice to a little ant, work as a slave, or even be willing to warm the bed?

To lay a nest of ant eggs?
Even a person on Earth would think, “Fuck you!”
But Wei Cheng felt something else at this time.This is Zeng Shu, but the existence of the demon king who once slashed the strange demons once led the Qianji Temple and tens of millions of soldiers and civilians in the four states to fight against the army of strange demons for 30 years. As powerful as a god.

If Wei Cheng thought he could tease that little brat Zeng Shu in the trial level, and then dealt with and greeted him with this attitude, then their lives would be at stake with those five quasi-monster king-level alien demon puppets. It's not that different.

What's more, the plot in the trial level recreates the past events in the world of immortality.

The parties are not directly related.

It's like Li Bai in the Tang Dynasty on earth, and a movie about Li Bai released in the spring of 2040.

How dare Wei Cheng, and how could he be so confused as to think that just because he had seen the silly look of young Li Bai, he could speak shamelessly in front of the real Li Bai?

So at this moment, he just said respectfully:

"Reporting to the Patriarch, the disciple does not have an identity jade badge, because when the disciple entered the apprenticeship, the mountain gate of Qianji Palace no longer existed."

"Who did you study under?"

"Reporting to the Patriarch, my disciple learned from Tang Yuanshan."

"Who is Tang Yuanshan?"

"He is my master."

"Nonsense, let me ask you who did he study under?"

"Reporting to the Patriarch, my disciple, Master, learned from Bai Han."

"Who did Bai Han study under?"

"Reporting to Patriarch, he should learn from Mei Renli."

"Who is Mei Renli, and who did he learn from?"

"Reporting to Patriarch, he should learn from Shen Yu."

"Shen Yu? Shen? Who does this Shen Yu study under?"

After hearing this name, Zeng Shu ghost, who was almost out of control and furious, finally calmed down.

"Well, this disciple heard from Master that this Patriarch Shen Yu, her great-grandfather is called Shen Changfeng." Wei Cheng replied cautiously.

Shen Changfeng, is that personable elder who is in charge of imparting basic knowledge to new disciples in the Hall of Thousand Machines, and is also the master of Zeng Shu when he was young.

This was someone Zeng Shu absolutely knew.

But Wei Cheng was not sure whether Shen Changfeng had a son, whether he had a grandson, or whether he was known to Zeng Shu.

So he directly compiled a story about Shen Changfeng's great-granddaughter. I don't believe you, Zeng Shu, even knew about this.

After all, no one can guarantee whether Shen Changfeng has an old friend in the mortal world, nor can Zeng Shu, because Shen Changfeng is indeed very chic. .

What kind of senior sister, junior sister, senior aunt, senior nephew?

Although Wei Cheng did not see it with his own eyes, he expected it to be so.

Therefore, even if Zeng Shu later became the boss of Qianji Palace, he still could not be sure how many illegitimate children Shen Changfeng had.

It is even less certain whether he has a great-granddaughter.

In short, this is a perfect closed loop.

Sure enough, Zeng Shu's ghost fell into deep thought, mainly reminiscing about the past.

After a long time, he let out a long sigh.

"Time has passed so long, and this great river and mountain has turned into such a ghost. But, your name is Wei Cheng, right? How did you survive? Who is she?"

"Reporting to the Patriarch, this is my disciple's wife. The reason why we can survive is because after the battle in Tianji City, there was an old god who called himself Xuanwu, a highly respected, kind-hearted and kind-hearted old god who killed our ancestors. He was rescued and given shelter in a safe place."

"For hundreds of years, the disciples' ancestors have thrived in that safe place, cultivating themselves while cultivating, and occasionally going out to hunt strange demons. I never expected to meet the ancestor today."

"Master, your portrait hangs in the training place of my master's master's master's master, so the disciples will recognize you as soon as they see you."

At this point, Zeng Shu's ghost almost believed it.

However, not only did he look unhappy, he even became murderous again, because Xuanwu was the Earth Demon, and the Earth Demon was Xuanwu, the culprit who caused this strange demon catastrophe.

Can he not be angry?

"Where is your so-called safe place?"

"Disciples don't know, but the ancestor of Xuanwu will use his great supernatural power to take us back in a month. Now we are practicing and hunting strange demons."

Wei Cheng answered tremblingly.

And Zeng Shu's ghost snatched the thousand-machine mirror from Wei Cheng's hand, and with a random touch, there were streaks of divine light floating on it, which belonged to him in the first place.

He took the Thousand Machines Treasure Mirror and took a look at it, and he really found the hiding place of Earth Demon Xuanwu at this moment.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Zeng Shu's ghost laughed angrily.

That is to say, his current strength is not enough to let him leave the Broken Sword, otherwise he would definitely rush up and start killing right now.

After a few breaths, Zeng Shu's ghost calmed down. He had completely believed everything Wei Cheng said.

"Damn it, damn it!"

"Your ancestor Shen Yu is still alive. Find a way to get her to see me."

"Reporting to Grandmaster, Patriarch Shen Yu has passed away a long time ago. She was unfortunately surrounded when she was out hunting strange demons, and she fought fiercely until she died." Wei Cheng's face was full of grief.

"hateful!"

The ghost of Zeng Shu cursed again, he closed his eyes, and thought for a while in pain, "You, go and find a way to trick your Xuanwu patriarch here, he is the spy of the strange demon, and he let the strange demon enter The chief culprit of the world of cultivating immortals, all the suffering you have encountered is caused by it, and the old man will die with it."

"This--"

After hearing this, Wei Cheng looked flustered and completely at a loss. It didn't matter whether he agreed or not.

In the end, he could only kneel down with a bang, bang his head on the ground, and didn't say a word. He just couldn't do it anyway, or you can kill me.

As a result, after a few seconds, Zeng Shu's ghost was heard calmly saying: "Get up, it seems that you are really an outer disciple of my Qianji Palace."

"Although what you said is bizarre, it is basically true."

"Hey, you try to call Xuanwu over. I actually reconciled with it during the battle in Tianji City. It was my order that Xuanwu took some of the disciples of Qianji Palace to evacuate with the people of Tianji City."

Zeng Shu's ghost sighed, with a look of loneliness on his face.

Wei Cheng opened his mouth, and finally mustered up his courage to say: "Master Patriarch, can I bring this broken sword, I'm afraid Patriarch Xuanwu won't believe it."

Hearing this, the ghost of Zeng Shu finally showed a smile, Ma De, let me make so many detours, this fool finally got on the road.

"Yes, but this is the flying sword, a psychic magic weapon refined by me. Although you have good qualifications, you still can't touch this flying sword. In this way, I will teach you a sword control technique to facilitate the collection of this flying sword. You will Hold on to it, and after a month, your Xuanwu ancestor will take you back to that safe place, and it will understand."

"Yes, everything depends on the instructions of the ancestor."
