"Sister, how long are you going this time?"
Zheng Yu, who had two buns on his head, hugged Zheng Wan's legs to prevent her from leaving.
In the past three years, he has been raised very well, his skin is fair, his cheeks still have baby fat, and he looks at Zheng Wan with a pair of black phoenix eyes—
"Sister?"
Wang smiled at the side:
"Wanwan, let me say that between people, you still have to look at the relationship between people. You see, this mountain doesn't kiss me or you, Aye, but just kisses you."
"Isn't it? As soon as the fairy comes, we will all be in the back."
Zheng Wan leaned over, holding a Qiaolianhuan teaser Shanshan in her hand.
She has never raised children before, and she has no patience to raise them. Every time she came back, teasing Shanshan was like teasing cats and dogs. Gradually, some feelings developed—
After all, I watched him grow up.
From a little doll who was as big as a bean and could only drool and giggle, to this little articulate and clever little doll.
Shan Shan slapped Qiao Lianhuan off, and seeing that Zheng Wan ignored him, he grabbed her clothes and climbed up, and finally managed to stuff himself into Zheng Wan's arms.
"Sister, how long are you going?"
"My sister doesn't know either."
Zheng Wan said, "However, sister will come back as soon as possible."
"Sister is lying!"
Shanshan bulged her cheeks, and stared at her with dark eyes, "The last time my sister said she was going to go out, she went for a long time, a long time, a long time!"
Shan Shan stretched his arms wide, trying to describe the long length.
Zheng Wan remembered what he said last time.
The leader of the Black Iron Order occasionally needs to send out some strong missions. Last time, she took an investigation mission and went to Haoshu City. A village near Haoshu City disappeared out of thin air. She was trapped in the fog for two months. When she returned to Fengwu City, what greeted her were Shanshan's tears, Aye's half-white temples, and Aniang's dark eye sockets.
Since then, Zheng Wan has refused to take on tasks that take too long unless necessary.
The lifespan of a mortal is only a hundred years old, which is too short compared to a monk. The time she can spend with Aye and Niang is only forty or fifty years.
A monk can retreat for ten years or hundreds of years, and this is already the life of a mortal.
Even these three years, Zheng Wan felt that they were as short as a moment.
She was busy and busy. She went to Yuzhen Tower to practice "Moxu Sutra" during the day, and at night she practiced the soul magic formula and magic magic formula, and drew symbols by the way. She didn't feel much, but in the blink of an eye, three years had gone by. .
The Blackwater Secret Realm opened.
Aye's temples have turned gray, but Auntie hasn't changed much—
After returning from the fog in Haoshu City, Zheng Wan mixed the Nourishing Pill that Cui Wang had won in the Lantern City last time into the flower dew that A Niang drank every day, and asked her to drink it.
"Sister will definitely come back as soon as possible, tick?"
Zheng Wan stretched out her little finger.
Shanshan looked at her carefully for a while, and her round face showed an old-fashioned look:
"Sister, did you agree? Don't lie to Shanshan."
"It's agreed, don't lie to Shanshan."
Shanshan looks so cute, Zheng Wan pinched his nose, and in his helpless eyes of "Although my elder sister always likes to pinch my face, but forget it, Mr. Shanshan doesn't remember villain's faults", she made a big deal with him Tick, "Hanging on the hook for a hundred years must not change..."
century…
Zheng Wan shook her head, for some reason, she suddenly thought of Cui Wang who was in retreat.
He was right about one thing.
The difference between monks and ordinary people is too far.
Her three years were like March, sometimes she meditated a little longer without paying attention, and it was seven or eight days after she came out.
But the three years of mortals are actually three years, three hundred and sixty-five days, three springs, summers, autumns and winters, and now even mountains and mountains have begun to be enlightened.
"Aye, Auntie, my daughter... is leaving now."
Zheng Wan leaned over and put the mountain on the ground, and gave a blessing salute to Aye and Auntie.
Zheng Zhai waved his hand:
"Let's go, come back whole, take care... that's it."
Wang Shi stood beside him, and the two of them sent her out of the academy all the way as they did every time before. They watched the figure disappear around the corner from a distance before returning to the academy.
Gatekeepers are also used to:
"Mr. Zheng sent the fairy out."
"Yes." Zheng Zhai nodded, and patted the back of Wang's hand, "When the child grows up, he must go out for a break."
The gatekeeper said enviously:
"This is the first time the old man has seen a monk as filial as a fairy."
Zheng Zhai smiled and didn't say much to him, so he and Wang went back to the back of the academy.
Zheng Wan withdrew her gaze, and the mother who traveled thousands of miles was worried. For her, Aye, Auntie, nothing happened to her.
Going back to the secret realm this time, there is no Cui Wang escort anymore. Although I have made a lot of money in the past three years, but I bought it all at once, and my pockets are starting to be empty.
Fenglong used the moonstone to upgrade two years ago, and she officially refined it into a natal magic weapon. In terms of effectiveness alone, it is comparable to a high-level mysterious weapon, and the consumption is less. The illusion-making formula below became more and more unpredictable.
Because of the Soul Art, her soul consciousness is much stronger than that of monks of the same level. Finally, under the guidance of Xiaoer from the Qibao Pavilion shop, she prepared a set of needle-type profound weapons, a total of thirty-six "broken bee" made of century-old black iron. "Needle", the vine branch of Wuhuiteng has been quenched, once the skin is broken and touched below the Zhiwei Realm, it will be paralyzed within ten breaths, and its unexpected effect will be taken out.
She also prepared auxiliary pills such as Jiedu Pill, Rejuvenation Pill, Yinglu Pill, and Chongchong Pill, as well as Tier 4 defense arrays, Beidou Compass, and Talismans below Tier 3, including Dali King Kong Talismans and Divine Walking Talismans. She can draw them herself. Plus the invisibility talisman I bought last time—
For a Yuchengjing, her net worth is already rich enough.
"Don't you still have a trump card? What are you anxious about?"
Seeing her muttering and chanting over and over in the storage bracelet, Grandma Jin couldn't help saying.
"Mother-in-law said the blue sky flashes?"
"more than."
Grandma Jin slammed her lips, "This blue sky flashes, huh—you can either run away, or flash in front of the enemy. With your mysterious ice flame, you can do a close-range interception. You are invincible at the same level. What are you afraid of?"
She said that she was invincible at the same level, which was well-founded.
The moment Zheng Wanxiu broke through to the middle stage of Jade Realm, she jumped directly from being unknown on the list to the top of the Endless List, and the Canglan News that day was almost slaughtered by her "Jade Beauty".
On the Boundless List, there are many faces of low-level monks, but there are not many who have won the two realms in a row, especially Zheng Wan is still in the middle of the Jade Realm, so he will be a scholar who has stayed in the Jade Realm for many years. The disciples of the League were crushed to the second place—
Because of this, there are crowds of people who come to Yuzhenlou to order a plate of sixth-order snow-covered dragon fish.
Thanks to this, the speed of Zheng Wan's practice is not slower than that of the first and fifteenth day of the first day of the new year, and he even got more opportunities to practice mobile phones.
Zheng Wan turned to Yuzhen Building.
She planned to thank shopkeeper Bai and acting shopkeeper before leaving, and by the way, end the pain of scratching her heart every day and dreaming every night for the past three years.
"Bring me a plate of sixth-order snowy dragon fish."
The acting shopkeeper was taken aback for a moment, and looked at the three upper realm primordial stones that the female cultivator in yellow shirt had slapped on the table with the Dama Golden Knife, blinked, and then blinked again:
"Zhen Zhenren...don't practice kungfu today?"
"I won't practice anymore, I'm going out for a while soon."
Zheng Wan stared sadly at the empty table with a gloomy gaze, and laughed dumbfoundedly at the acting shopkeeper.
In the past three years, they have been facing each other day by day, and let this generation of shopkeepers treat her as if they were their own nieces and daughters.
Zheng Zhenren is highly talented and well-cultivated, so she should be respected by others, but when you get close to her, you will find that she has a savage and charming spirit, and people can't help but follow her and take care of her like a junior.
"Success, but today's Snowy Arowana, I'll invite you."
"Which one do you want to invite?" Shopkeeper Bai pushed the door open and came in, his body trembling on crutches, but he still came in steadily: "Today's meal, let me, Yuzhen Building, practice for Zhenren Zheng. Go, Pengcheng thousands of miles, skyrocketing."
"Xiao Li, go to the kitchen and order a set of 'Yuyuelongmen'."
Yuyue Longmen is an eight-treasure dish in Yuzhenlou. It is said to be eight delicacies, but there are only three dishes, one fish, one vegetable, and one soup.
But these Bazhen recipes have always been at the top of the menu list. In the past three years, no one has ordered them.
The reason is naturally: expensive.
The sixth-order snow-covered dragon fish is a famous dish in Yuzhen Tower. There are three upper-level primordial stones. The fish in the dragon gate is a six-winged crowned mackerel, a seventh-order primordial beast in the deep sea. It is extremely difficult to catch. It costs nearly fifty yuan stones.
And the other dish and soup are also of the sixth rank. This point, most of the net worth of ordinary monks must be taken away——
Even a dude knows the truth of not being too extravagant.
Yuan Shi is food tonic, but eating these vegetables is only worth two or three months of meditation, and two or three months, even with Zheng Wan's current proficiency in drawing symbols like drinking water, he can't earn back these Yuan Shi.
"Treasurer Bai, this is too precious."
No matter how ignorant Zheng Wan is of the world, she also knows that this practical ritual is beyond its weight.
Shopkeeper Bai lowered his hand and pushed Zheng Wan onto the seat: "Don't think too much, I just want to ask you to find a skeleton for the old man in the Black Water Secret Realm."
She is getting older now, both rows of teeth are gone, her mouth is deeply sunken, and she can vaguely see the beautiful eyes of the past, but they have also become muddy fish eyes.
"Skeletons?"
Zheng Wan was taken aback, and subconsciously wanted to refuse. It was the first and only time she killed someone when she was on a mission last year.
The shameless man who intended to rob sex and wealth was burned by her with the black ice flame, leaving not even a trace of ashes. But if that's the case, let her find a skeleton...
But facing Shopkeeper Bai's eyes that hid deep pain and hope, Zheng Wan's refusal could not be uttered.
She opened her mouth:
"Treasurer Bai, tell me."
Shopkeeper Bai glanced at Shopkeeper Li on behalf of the shopkeeper. Knowing the situation on behalf of the shopkeeper, he hastily bid farewell. Watching him close the door again, and the sound of his steps getting farther away, shopkeeper Bai put on a soundproof cover, and said slowly:
"The skeleton is the daughter of the old..."
Tears filled her cloudy eyes, and there were ravines on her face:
"The old daughter is as lively as Zheng Zhenren and loves to laugh, but it's a pity... she is a bit stupid. It took more than two hundred years of cultivation before she could reach the Jade Realm. When the Black Water Secret Realm opened ten years ago, she insisted on entering it, but she was never seen again. return."
Zheng Wan listened silently.
She thought, she must not have any accidents in the secret realm, otherwise, her mother, Aye, would be as miserable as this hopeless shopkeeper Bai.
"I'm sorry, the old man lost his composure."
Shopkeeper Bai wiped away his tears, "I don't ask Zheng Zhenzhen to do it for nothing. Here is the whereabouts of the second volume of "Mo Xu Jing"."
Zheng Wan was startled, and heard her say:
"As long as Zhenren Zheng can bring back his daughter's bones for the old man, the old man will definitely tell Zhenren Zheng the news. The Yuzhen Tower has been opened here for hundreds of years, and the news through the old man's ears is endless. Zhenren Zheng can rest assured that this news is absolutely correct."
"But if..."
The skeleton was swallowed by the Yuan beast in the secret realm.
"Reverend Zheng, don't worry, the old man used the backtracking technique to investigate before, and Rongrong's bones are still in a place of sinking stones, surrounded by an enchantment, and have not been damaged. If you enter the secret realm, wear this bracelet , if there is Rong Rong's skeleton nearby, it will sense it."
"This is… "
Zheng Wan looked at a red thread running through the bracelet, faintly looking at it, it looked like... blood.
"Blood in the bones of old age."
Shopkeeper Bai said, "Only the blood in this old man's bones can echo with the old man's daughter's bones."
Zheng Wan's eyes became hotter. She has always hated seeing the old man suffering, and always suspected that the suffering old man was her own mother... The blood in the bones is the blood of the monks, and if a little is drawn, a little is lost, so much. so fast.
She looked at her gray hair, thin face, and thought, the fuel is burning to the end.
Zheng Wan nodded:
"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Bai, I will do my best."
"You are a good boy." Shopkeeper Bai patted her and pushed a storage bag, "These are some things prepared by the old man. I take it as a share in my heart. I just hope that Zhenren Zheng can bring the old daughter back safely. The old man My daughter is Liuzhi, which is easy to identify."
Zheng Wan is not hypocritical.
She put away the storage bag, ate a "fish leaping over the dragon's gate" meal, and went to the department again. After searching around in the underground library, I found that there are very few records about the Blackwater Secret Realm, and all of them are available on the market.
"Is Zheng Zhenren looking for information about the Black Water Secret Realm?"
When Zheng Wan came up, she bumped into that round-faced monk, who didn't come often, but this time he was holding a parchment in his hand, as if he was about to go out.
"Yes, does the real gentleman know where to sell it?"
The round-faced monk smiled, and handed over the parchment he was holding in his hand:
"The person in charge of the black iron order of our department is naturally a bit particular. You take it and study it, and then burn it. Don't let people see it."
Zheng Wan unfolded it and found that it was a detailed map. Starting from the outermost periphery of the Blackwater Mountains and going inward, the mountains, rivers and rivers were marked along the way. character.
"The terrain in the secret area may change a little bit. You don't have to follow the map completely. However, you must go to the inner circle to gain anything. There are 3,300 people in the twelve sects, including casual cultivators. Individuals have different opportunities. While defending against Yuan beasts, one must also guard against people.
Don't take it lightly. "
Zheng Wan nodded, her brows and eyes were curved, and the smile in her eyes was genuine and touching:
"Thank you, Zhenjun, Zhenjun, you are really a good person."
The round-faced monk glared at her:
"Hurry up, don't sleep too much tomorrow, and gather at the City Lord's Mansion early in the morning."
"yes."
Zheng Wan went out under his urging, not long after leaving the house, she looked back with a strange expression, if everyone has a copy of the parchment, why is it in the underground library, those black iron orders are all frowning looking for information...
That's all.
It is useless to think too much.
Zheng Wan withdrew her thoughts. She didn't go back to the academy, but went straight to Yuqingmen. This time, she will go to the Black Water Secret Realm, and she will set off with the disciples of Yuqingmen.
There are two people from each of the five peaks, she is counted among the Black Iron Orders, and does not occupy the quota of Zixiu Peak, so both the second and third senior sisters have gone.
"Set off."
The monk leading the team is no longer the master, but Jing Liao, the master of Cuiwei Peak, a monk who knows the microscopic realm.
Zhenjun Jing Liao led four servants and eleven disciples of Yuqing sect to the city lord's mansion in a nuclear jujube boat.
Through the teleportation array of the City Lord's Mansion, it was sent directly to the destination of this trip, Haoshu City - the main city of Haoran Zongzong.
Zheng Wan is no stranger to this place. The last time she was trapped in the clouds and mist for two months, she came out of Haoshu City.
And the disappeared village was near Haoshu City, and it was finally confirmed that it fell into the "Heaven and Earth Mirage Mountain Formation". This formation was formed naturally by heaven and earth. .
It's just that this person who broke the formation is a person who does good deeds and does not leave a name. Even if Haoshucheng offered a reward, this person did not show up to receive it.
After a burst of familiar dizziness, I arrived at Haoshu City Square.
The teleportation formation here is not located in the City Lord's Mansion, but in the center of the city, next to the Wu Ya Bang.
Zheng Wan looked up at the Wuya List, firstly she found her name in Yucheng Realm, but her Taoist name had not been taken yet, so it showed her common name: Zheng Wan.
In the second place, a newcomer jumped up, also with a common name: Shu Jin.
Continuing to go up, passing through the Realm of Knowing Wei, and reaching the Realm of Wuxu, the first place is still the True Lord Liwei, but the second place has become the closed-door True Lord Floating Life.
This close is worth closing.
Zheng Wan withdrew her gaze and looked around.
I found that many people came to the square, besides the fresh and light yellow of Kaiyuqingmen, there were also the blue robes of Beimianmen, the white robes of Guixumen, the gray robes of Danxinmen, the white scholar's robes of Haoranzong, and the ones with burnt scars. , those who don’t scald ring scars, those who hold alms bowl, those who don’t, etc. They are clearly distinguished, solemn and quiet, and the monks who lead the team will pay their respects to the boundless list together.
This waited for more than half an hour.
The monks of all factions finished reading the Wuya leaderboard and were bored, so they started to have fun. Seeing that the leader monks are not very restrained, they can do everything.
Chatting, discussing, jumping in the door...
Therefore, Zheng Wan, the jewel among the rubble, the top of the endless list, and the famous "Jade Beauty" in the Xuancang world, has become a rare thing that people look at.
Those who practice "Moxu Sutra", even if they do nothing, a frown and a smile are already touching, regardless of men and women, those with poor concentration can't help blushing and heartbeat; those with good concentration can't help it Take a few more glances.
But she was not annoyed, she seemed to be used to it, and just stood quietly.
"Hey, you are Yumei."
Zheng Wan didn't expect that there would be someone who dared to come to provoke him, but he saw a white-clothed scholar in the uniform of Hao Ranzong's disciples approaching him, holding a scroll in his hand, followed by a dozen or so beautiful maids, like stars and moons.
He was originally a arrogant dandy, but he had a face that was more beautiful than a woman's, with affectionate peach blossom eyes, and a charming look, which compared the group of watery maids behind him to a clear soup with little water.
Zheng Wan is very tolerant towards men who are better looking:
"Then who are you?"
she asked with a smile.
"Who am I, don't you know?"
Who would have thought that this dude was so angry that he jumped, "Shu Jin, Shu Jin, did you see that?!"
He pointed to the boundless list:
"The second child on the list! I, Shu Jin, want to challenge you!"
Zheng Wan doesn't mind, she doesn't mind at all if someone comes to practice her hands now, but the secret realm will be opened at any time, it seems better to save effort.
"Oh, I've seen you."
She suddenly remembered a face crying like her father to death, "In the mist, that crying father and mother..."
"Bah! Old, I'm not!"
Shu Jin's face was stern, his face was as red as a boiled red-skinned shrimp, and Zheng Wan turned around and avoided it with a wave of arrogance.
only-
She shot down Shujin's attacking technique casually, and the leader of Ren Haoranzong took the dude away, and couldn't help but look back:
Just now, she felt a gaze. For some reason, this gaze made her very concerned.
But Zheng Wan only saw a casual cultivator, that person was so skinny that he wore a black cloak like a hemp pole, and when the wind moved, that person also looked up at her.
Thin and dark, very rough and very ordinary looks.
Zheng Wanhun looked away indifferently, there were too many casual cultivators like this.
"What's the matter, Junior Sister?"
The second senior sister asked her.
"No, nothing."
Zheng Wan smiled, "I'm probably nervous."
"Blackwater Secret Realm, Kai!"
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the sky above the city. The man was wearing a white scholar's robe and a scholar's scarf tied up. His face was clean and beardless. The book in his hand fell out of the sky, and a key like an ice crystal appeared in his hand.
He inserted the key into a stone tablet next to the Wu Ya Bang, and a black door revolving with light appeared in front of everyone.
