Lord of Deception

Yu Ziqing walked along the path outside the village and stood in the heavy snow, holding his head slightly high, watching the precious fireworks blooming in the sky. At this time, he really wanted to smoke a cigarette, just because of the atmosphere.

Lao Yang has said more than once that monks are a high-risk profession, and the mortality rate is much higher than that of mortals. Now he has seen it with his own eyes.

The monks who can use the escape method to travel high and low in today's wasteland are at least third-level Qi-refining monks. The second-level monks can fly with the help of some special magic weapons, but it consumes too much and will not be used when it is not necessary. Use it, and you won't waste a lot of energy flying around when fighting.

The monks who take other paths are not much different.

Oh, in addition to physical training, the specific point is physical training that is pure physical training.

Physical cultivation that also cultivates Qi is similar to that of a Qi-refining monk, but physical cultivation that purely cultivates the body requires at least the fourth level before you can fly with the help of some magic weapons. The speed is not as fast as running wildly on the ground. Seriously, flying through eight meridians When it is comparable to the escape method, it is only possible when you reach the sixth level...

The reason why the road to body refining is not popular with others is that it is somewhat full-blown.

Yu Ziqing doesn't have much obsession with flying. He has always felt that strong people fly because they have confidence, while weak chickens jumping around in the sky are somewhat like moving targets, which makes people feel insecure.

Watching outside for a while, when the fireworks show on the horizon ended, Yu Ziqing silently estimated that up to forty-eight Qi Refining monks of at least the third level might have perished in this confrontation.

Coupled with the heavy snow in the sky, you can still see the fireworks sparkling, and considering that his eyesight has improved a lot since he started training, the distance between the place where those people fought and the mine should be within two hundred miles.

It's very close.

Instead of continuing to be a weakling, I chose to train my body. Now it seems that it is somewhat wise.

We can't bet that when those people fight, it won't affect the village, let alone bet. In the increasingly chaotic situation, no one will make excuses to target the village.

Turning around and walking through the abyss of despair, it was just as a new cycle began. When Yu Ziqing passed by the bait woman and those cannibals, he felt an inexplicable feeling of irritation in his heart.

Following the movement of his heart, he punched out, and the qi and blood in his body automatically began to surge. The strong yang energy, mixed with a ray of restlessness that emerged in Yu Ziqing's heart, pierced one of the cannibals with one punch.

In the past, they were all illusory phantoms that could not be touched, only looked at.

But today, Yu Ziqing clearly felt that when he punched out, he did touch something.

The body of the cannibal hit by him began to twist, as if it had not been loaded. It was frozen there and flickering, and the entire operation of the Abyss of Despair stopped at this moment.

All the phantoms stopped in place, motionless.

Yu Ziqing was slightly startled, and tried to punch another cannibal again, but this time he felt nothing. His body passed through the phantom and had no impact on the phantom.

Yu Ziqing looked down at his hands and recalled the feeling of the casual punch just now. He tried several times again, but there was still no response, and he could no longer feel the punch.

Looking back at Xianqing on the hillside, she stood there, but did not catch a glance at the phantoms. She bowed to Yu Ziqing, wanting to say something, but she couldn't.

"You're welcome. To be honest, I don't know how I did it."

Yu Ziqing was in a good mood and waved his hand far away.

"Since there was a first time that could affect the operation of this place, there must be a next time with a bigger and stronger impact. Maybe when I become stronger, I can punch through this place and rescue you. ”

After saying a few words, the stuck phantoms continued to move, everything returned to its original state, and Xianxuan was dragged in again.

Yu Ziqing walked out of the abyss of despair, but his mood improved inexplicably.

Even though he knew in his heart that it could affect the Abyss of Despair, it probably had little to do with his body training, Yu Ziqing comforted himself.

Other monks at the second level would definitely not be able to do this.

…

Three days later, a hundred miles east of the village, Da Li's Flame War Rider stopped in a leeward place to rest.

The leading strong man took large gulps of the flaming liquor and glanced to the west.

"If I remember correctly, it seems that this place is not far from the Jinlan Mine, right?"

A young soldier on the side took out a scroll from his sleeve, waved his hand gently, and the scroll spread out and floated in the air. On the map above, there was a light spot flashing, which was their current location.

"Sir, one hundred miles to the west and south is the Jinlan Mine. Do we need to stop by?"

The strong man glanced sideways at the entourage.

"Have you people from the Shadow Department found out what Daqian needs the Jinlan ore for now?"

The young soldier's identity was exposed, his expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly.

"No, we secretly obtained some newly made magic weapons, talismans, formation disks, formation flags, and even some elixirs.

However, the people from Lihuoyuan only found a small amount of Jinlan ore in some low-level magic weapons. They did not find any Jinlan ore in higher-level items.

They have already concluded that although Jinlan ore is rare, its properties can only be used as third-level metal materials, and only some flying sword-type magic weapons can receive a small amount of blessing. "

The Shadow Division, as you can tell by its name, is an organization set up by Dali to compete with Daqian's Jinyiwei. Lihuoyuan is also the Langya Academy that competes with Daqian.

This spy from the Shadow Division was placed next to the strong man. Everyone knew it well. When asked now, the spy also directly blamed Lihuo Yuan. They, the people from the Shadow Division, have no responsibility to research things. .

The strong man understood clearly and curled his lips with disdain.

Everyone knows that Lihuoyuan is not as good as Daqian's Langya Academy, and everyone admits it, but most of the time the Shadow Division is on par with Daqian's Jinyiwei.

What he asked was whether the Shadow Division had tracked down anything in Daqian. If it hadn't been found, then it wasn't found. As for showing off its achievements and passing the blame here.

There is more than one place like Jinlan Mine, but this place has a special geographical location.

Daqian has a lot of money. Any material or anything he finds must be taken back and studied. If he can't find the use for a while, or there is a better, cheaper and large-scale substitute, he should keep it as a backup. Maybe there will be one in the future. What a new discovery.

But Dali does not have such financial resources. It is already quite uncomfortable to be caught between the Great Earthquake and Daqian. Under the influence of various internal and external factors in recent years, the national treasury has been getting thinner and thinner, and it has long been unable to afford to spend money casually.

The argument of not following Daqian and being led by the nose has almost become the mainstream in Dali.

The strong man generally agrees with these arguments, but he does not agree with adding Jinlan Mine to this argument. The location of Jinlan Mine is a relatively rare semi-blessed land, with part of it connected to the wasteland and part of it existing alone. .

There are also supernatural powers growing in it, so it is considered an abandoned blessed land that is not suitable for monks to develop. Although such a place cannot be used, the materials it can produce are generally relatively rare.

Even if the price is higher now, the output is scarce, and it can only be used on some low-level magic weapons, who knows whether there will be new discoveries in the future.

Just giving up like that, the person who makes such a decision is really a loser.

The strong man was convinced, but he also knew that he had no say in this kind of thing. If he was asked to lead the troops to fight, the people above would trust him, but in other matters, he would have no say in it, and it would make people laugh if he said it. He can't kill anyone who laughs at him.

Glancing at the Shadow Division detective next to him, the strong man pointed in the direction of the Jinlan Mine.

"I happened to be passing by. Calculate the time. People from Daqian might also be around there. Go explore the road and see what you find."

It was just to explore the way, and the spies couldn't refuse. Everyone knew that he was inserted, but his apparent identity was just an ordinary personal follower. The general who led the army gave orders, but he did not obey and was beaten to death. Well deserved.

The spy had no choice but to accept the order, shrunk his body, and slowly turned into a phantom, sinking into the ground and disappearing.

The strong man frowned slightly. He really didn't like these guys walking in the shadows.

"Let's keep walking and see if there is any chance to accumulate some military merit for everyone."

After a while, the team walked away, and wisps of phantoms emerged from the spot, forming the human form of the spy. He got out of the ground, took out a pen, and wrote in the booklet he carried with him.

"General Miyazawa is particularly concerned about the Wasteland Jinlan Mine, and as the rumors say, he has great opinions on our Shadow Division..."

After the spy finished writing, he marked the time and place, put away the booklet, turned into a phantom again, and headed towards the Jinlan Mine.

Remember him once and for all, military orders must still be carried out...

All the way to the Jinlan Mine, the spy suddenly stopped far away. He revealed a pair of eyes in the shadow and looked to the southeast.

A lifeless team is walking on the snow, like ghosts, silently. Everyone in it is wearing white robes with hoods covering their faces. The leader is holding a white lantern. , floating three inches above the ground, leading the team forward.

Suddenly, the team suddenly stopped. The white lantern in the leader's hand suddenly lit up with a ball of white light. The lantern rotated slowly, with a big word "Dian" on it, pointing in the direction of the spies. .

The originally lifeless team seemed to come alive at this moment, and their fanatical roars exploded in the cold wind.

"The red sun is over, and the white sun will rise."

The sound of howling wind and snow seemed to be suppressed, and the white light blooming in the white lantern quickly illuminated everything around it, making the gloomy world suddenly brighten.

At the same time, the shadow hidden by the spy was also illuminated, revealing his body.

The group of ghostly figures quickly surrounded him through the wind and snow.
