"I'm in the mood soon." Lu Sheng praised.
"Thank you for your compliment." Duanmu Wan made a slight ladylike courtesy.
"If, I mean, if I leave suddenly, or need to deal with some urgent matters, what will you do?" Lu Sheng asked casually.
Duanmuwan showed a sweet smile. "Is this a test?"
"Forget it." Lu Sheng smiled.
"I... will immediately bring my valuables to seek possible help. If I can't find help, I will hide and observe the situation." Duanmuwan thought for a while and answered.
"Very good. This is what I hope too." Lu Sheng walked through the courtyard and walked out of the gate, just in time to see Elder Zhang Shilong walking towards him.
"The transfer order has come, Lu Sheng." Zhang Shilong raised the silk cloth in his hand, "Leave within seven days."
"Just right..." Lu Sheng took the silk cloth and gently unfolded it.
What was written on it made him slightly taken aback.
'Start within seven days, test the mission - use this silk cloth to locate on the way, you can automatically enter the outside world, find the Purple Snow Garden, get the specified items, set up the projection circle, and establish a complete front station. The deadline for completion is one month. '
"This is?" He never expected that he would have to go through a test mission before going to the Shangzong.
"You can choose not to do it, but in this way, when you arrive at the Mo Ling Mansion over there, you will be the most ordinary disciple. This test task is used to grade everyone." Zhang Shilong explained.
"Is everyone's job the same?"
"Not necessarily. There are many outside worlds. Generally, this kind of task is to find a low-level outside world temporarily, which is a small world that is difficult but not life-threatening to the testers." Zhang Shilong continued to explain.
"Okay, I understand. In a sense, this is the first time I've entered another world to complete a mission." Lu Sheng showed an interested smile on his face.
"Indeed, last time you just projected in, so you need to make more preparations. You need to get some spells for summoning servants and searching for breath." Zhang Shilong frowned.
"I'll solve it myself. If Mr. Zhang is willing, he can lend me some magic gold." Lu Sheng smiled.
"How much?"
"One thousand."
"no problem."
Borrowing a thousand magic gold from Elder Zhang Shilong, Lu Sheng directly followed the direction he remembered, and returned to the branch branch Taoist Palace overnight.
He quickly found the talisman store in the sect, most of which were left here for trading after the elders refined the talismans.
He carefully purchased all the things he needed, and bought a rucksack for carrying things, which he carried on his back and was very inconspicuous. But the capacity is surprisingly much.
A thousand magic golds cost a lot, and most of them were used on a simple magic weapon.
Although it is the most common magic weapon for summoning servants, its value still reaches an exaggerated 800 magic gold. This is because the shop owner bought it at a discount because of Lu Sheng's status as a true disciple. And it is the lowest level summoning magic weapon.
Everything was ready, Lu Sheng returned to Qiuyue County City, went to visit Suzerain Chen Jingzhi, then simply packed up his things, gave Duan Muwan instructions, then got the map, marked the route, and Lu Sheng was ready to set off on the road .
In order to reach Mo Ling City, the prefectural city as soon as possible, he did not hire any horse-drawn carts, but planned to go on the road alone.
Qiuyue County is more than three thousand miles away from Fucheng. Even if Lu Sheng ran at full speed, it would take at least two hours. This is still considered a straight route. If you drive slowly, don't even think about it for a month or two.
And this is not counting the dangers that may be encountered halfway. Although the ground of Dayin is much safer than that of Song Dynasty, it is not absolutely safe after all. With such a long distance, the road is better than the barren mountains and wild mountains, and it is normal to have some symptoms.
However, to Lu Sheng's surprise, Wang Yunlong also specially came to find him. He also wanted to go to Fucheng, and he was also recommended by Zhimai. Moreover, he joined the collective team of the three sects, and all three sects had recommended genius disciples who were sent to Fucheng together, so for the sake of safety, everyone assembled in a team, and an elder from each of the three sects led the team.
Only Lu Sheng directly refused to go with him in order to save time. Because he was that one's disciple, it was difficult for others to say anything, and they all guessed that his teacher might have other arrangements.
Lu Sheng has always felt that Wang Yunlong, a genius sent from Chunyang with him, is a little weird. This time, he can be recommended by the sect just like him. In such a short period of time, he can earn such a high evaluation. It can be seen that Its excellence.
But what Wang Yunlong has always shown is mediocre, ordinary, and inconspicuous.
This gives people some ideas.
Three days later, Lu Sheng brought things, dry food, water bags, etc., and could not shirk it, so he went to the prefectural city, Moling City, under the personal escort of Zhang Shilong.
In fact, the reason why he didn't reject Zhang Shilong in the end was also because, with such a long distance, without the escort of the elders, the strength he showed now was simply not enough to protect himself. And even if he can reach Fucheng quickly, if he doesn't want to show his strength, he can only hide and wait for time to reappear.
So instead of this, it is better to speed up within the reasonable range as much as possible. If only he and the elders are together, the speed is several times faster than the big team, and it is also within the reasonable range, killing two birds with one stone.
And it also avoids wasting time in case of getting lost.
After leaving Qiuyue County, led by Zhang Shilong, Lu Sheng rode a talisman horse each, rushed into the nearby grassland early in the morning, and went straight to the nearest Heiling Mountains. To go to Fucheng, the Heiling Mountains is the first area that must be passed through. There is also a resting place of Qianyangzong, which is specially used for passing disciples to rest and stay.
blah blah...
The crisp sound of horseshoes echoed continuously on the official road.
Lu Sheng and Zhang Shilong both wore gray-green cloaks and galloped forward on the back of the horse. From time to time, a tiny bit of metallic luster flashed on the four hooves of the horse.
Those are special horseshoes that have been modified by array symbols, which can greatly reduce the weight of the horse, increase the hardness of the horseshoe, and prolong the running time.
In the deep and majestic rolling mountains, the white-green official road meanders forward, extending to the depths of the endless forest.
Lu Sheng and his two galloped for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, they slowed down and headed towards the side woods to find an open space to rest.
"It should be here. I built a small house here when I was traveling alone." Elder Zhang Shilong looked around. As an elder, he also went to Fucheng occasionally before. The ability to protect oneself and self-preservation is also much higher. So the break point is also different.
"Is that it?" Lu Sheng pointed forward.
In front of the two to the right, through the forest, several gray stone huts can be seen, quietly nestled among the roots and entwined branches and leaves.
"That's it!" Zhang Shilong raised his voice, "Let's go, go and have a rest, I left some daily necessities in it." After a long day of driving, he was also a little tired, not physically but mentally. Looking at the unchanging grasslands and mountains, you will get sleepy if you look too much.
"Okay." Lu Sheng nodded.
The two rode their horses and approached slowly.
The roof of the hut is light dark yellow, covered with a lot of moss, it seems that the wind and rain have been blowing for some years,
Standing beside the house are several ancient trees that are as thick as one person's arms. The roots of the trees are intertwined, spreading and winding around, like a strange python lying horizontally.
After Zhang Shilong got off his horse, he tied the horse to a thick tree trunk and strode towards the stone house.
Lu Sheng also got off his horse, tied up the reins, and followed.
With a creak, Zhang Shilong pushed open the wooden door and glanced at the furnishings inside. "Fortunately, there are no snakes or other poisonous insects, so I will stay here for one night, no problem?" He turned to look at Lu Sheng.
"No problem." Lu Sheng nodded.
"The time limit for Shangzong in Fucheng is one month. When do you plan to finish the task?" Zhang Shilong pulled out a stone bench and sat down on it. Bald, but his temperament is similar to that of a young man.
"You can do it when you have time, how long does it usually take to complete the task?" Lu Sheng asked back, glanced at him, walked to the stone bed and sat down.
"It stands to reason that the sooner you enter the outside world, the better the foundation will be laid, but you can do whatever you want. It will definitely be completed, it just depends on the degree of completion." Zhang Shilong is very confident in Lu Sheng.
"Okay, I'll go in tonight and try it out. If I don't wake up during the day tomorrow, Mr. Zhang, don't worry about me, just help me protect the law." Lu Sheng thought for a while and warned.
"That's no problem. I'm going to go around and see if I can find some spirits to make soup. The old spirits are almost being caught these days, and the rest are little ones who have become spirits for a century or two. Guy. I haven’t been here for a long time, maybe I can find some good stuff.” Zhang Shilong said casually with a smile.
He did what he said, after eating dry food in the evening, Zhang Shilong ran out in a blink of an eye, and disappeared after a few moments. After Lu Sheng had eaten, he closed the door of the stone house and pasted a simple amulet on the door for warning. Sitting cross-legged on the stone bed, he took out the silk cloth.
At this time, the original content was no longer on the silk cloth, but new handwriting emerged.
'Find Zixueyuan and seize the crimson dragon mark. '
"The Crimson Dragon Logo?" Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, he put the silk cloth flat in front of him, put his right hand in the center, and began to slowly inject true energy.
His current qi has reached the Ju level Qiwen, and once he breaks through the earth element, he will be able to obtain the status of an elder. As for the other disciples of Qiuyue County City, their cultivation bases are generally around three or four lines. If they want to break through to seven lines, at least they have to cross several levels, and it takes many years, and even more, they don't have the qualifications to reach seven lines at all. The blood has stagnated, and the concentration and purity are not enough.
Lu Sheng's Chiyu-level evaluation means that he can at least reach the level above the Earth Element level, which is why he is valued. It's just that no one would have thought that he would reach Qiwen so soon.
True Qi was injected into the silk one by one, and gradually, when he injected about 30% of his own True Qi, the silk cloth suddenly lit up with a layer of white light.
In an instant, white light surrounded Lu Sheng, and he shrank suddenly, condensing into a ball of light the size of a fist.
puff.
The ball of light exploded and turned into countless light spots that slowly faded and disappeared.
