Chapter 448 Spirit Boat

Behind the light, there is always darkness.

But beyond the grandeur, there is more darkness hidden.

The same goes for Bai Fengcheng.

There are flourishing flowers and chaotic ruins.

Crude buildings blocked the light.

The streets are dark and decayed.

Accumulation of garbage can be seen everywhere, and turbid sewage will splash up when the wheels run over it.

Several men in tattered clothes squatted in the corner, secretly observing the pedestrians passing by, whispering to each other from time to time.

Soon, they set their sights on a drunk man.

They all stood up from the wall and approached it as if by accident.

The drunkard didn't seem to be aware of this. He was holding the unfinished wine jar in one hand and staggering along the wall.

The two sides are getting closer and closer, and will soon meet at an intersection.

At this moment, three carriages turned into the long street.

There are no signs on the carriage, and it is impossible to tell which company it belongs to.

The coachman waved his whip, and the dark carriage began to trot.

Wei Tao looked at the beggars on the roadside, the idlers gathering to brag, and the rats running by in groups, and finally his eyes fell on the drunken man at the intersection.

He frowned slightly and reached out to close the curtains of the carriage.

The moment when the light is completely blocked.

Senhan's murderous intent broke out without any warning.

The spiritual energy gathered and then exploded.

There were also angry cries mixed in between.

And a shrill, twisted scream.

Something seemed to hit the carriage.

Suddenly there was a dull crashing sound.

Mixed with the sound of wheels pressing against the ground, it actually sounded like a strange rhythm.

A faint smell of blood filled the air.

Then it quickly became thicker and spread into the car through the gaps in the doors and windows.

Wei Tao closed his eyes and sat back on the cushions.

He also put down the tea cup he had just picked up.

"Mr. Wei, don't be nervous."

Yan Ling, who was sitting opposite, had a calm expression without any trace of panic. "They are just unworthy things. They only dare to use dark means to cause trouble. Aunt Feng alone can clean them up."

"I'm not nervous, it's just that it brought back memories that were long gone."

"oh?"

Yan Ling's eyes flashed and she asked with interest, "Has Mr. Wei had such a life experience before?"

Wei Tao rubbed the soft cushion at his hand and spoke slowly and calmly, "Of course I have experienced this kind of environment and this kind of life personally, so it brought back memories. I don't know when I can go back to see it. "

At this point, he suddenly changed the subject, "But what I have experienced before is only fights between some small gangs, and the fights were just for some trivial money.

Compared with what is happening now, that is a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning, something that really cannot be put on the table. "

"Did Mr. Wei see it?"

Yan Ling was startled for a moment, then smiled, "Ordinary people have difficulties as ordinary people, and big families also have difficulties as big families.

Sometimes I often wonder if I could live a quiet and peaceful life if I were not a member of the Yan family in Chishan, but just an ordinary spiritualist.

But unfortunately, reality is reality, and there are no what-ifs. Since I have accepted the benefits brought by this identity, I must face the competition and pressure that comes with it head-on. "

Wei Tao opened his eyes, "So, your family's competition is to take people's lives?"

"In most cases, this is not the case. Family elders and family rules will severely punish this kind of behavior. After all, if it is always like this, even the largest family will not be able to withstand such internal strife."

Yan Ling shook her head at first, then nodded slightly.

"It's just that now it's time for a new generation of young people to participate in the selection process, which will affect the distinction between superior and inferior for at least tens to hundreds of years, and may even lead to the rise and fall of a certain house.

Therefore, even if the methods become more drastic, a few high-ranking family elders will turn a blind eye. As long as there is no big mess, they will not pursue it excessively.

Maybe Mr. Wei will be surprised, but I have heard many related stories since I was a child, and I have long been accustomed to it and am not alarmed. "

"Miss Yan is calm and calm, but for me, she is worried about her life."

Wei Tao picked up the tea and took a sip, "You must know that the battles I have experienced before were just a punch and a kick. There were not many people who even held swords and swords. As a result, you guys came here to fight with spiritual arts. It's really It makes me a little scared.”

"What's more, Miss Yan has a noble status, so those people would be wary of attacking her.

But I’m different, I’m just a spiritual planter with little fighting ability, and I suddenly fell into this mess..."

Having said this, he stopped talking.

He just drank the tea in the cup slowly, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

Yan Ling lowered her eyes and looked at the slightly shaking low table in front of her.

At the same time, the turbulent screams outside gradually subsided.

The carriage resumed its original speed and began to rush out of the city.

"I understand Mr. Wei's concerns."

Yan Ling gently exhaled a breath.

At this moment, he said, "I'll add more money."

Immediately afterwards, an embroidery bag appeared on the low table.

There was a tinkling sound inside, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

"Here are ten pieces of chalcedony. Let's use them first to calm Mr. Wei's shock."

"In addition, the reward is increased to fifty chalcedony, plus the choice of spiritual plant cultivation materials."

"Furthermore, if Mr. Wei can solve the old ancestor's illness, I can even double the reward."

Communicating with smart people is easy and pleasant.

There is no need to say anything, the other party can consciously make the right response.

Silently, the embroidered bag has disappeared.

Wei Tao picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, "Miss Yan, don't think too much. I have always been very reasonable. Since I have promised you, I will naturally help you.

And I also hope that Miss Yan can stand out. This is actually a good thing for both you and me."

The carriage moved forward slowly.

There were incomplete corpses left behind the wheels.

Auntie Feng took a deep breath and wiped the blood on her body.

They quickly walked out of the dilapidated streets.

Once again came to the prosperous and wide avenue.

Then drove towards the south gate.

In the carriage, Wei Tao opened the side curtain and looked at the people coming and going outside, with a look of understanding on his face.

"What happened just now was done deliberately by Miss Yan, wanting to lure the enemy hiding in the dark?"

Yan Ling nodded slowly, "Yes, we are about to return to Chishan, and it is best to clean up these rats in the gutter in advance, so as to prevent them from passing on the news and deceive the sight of a certain brother and sister as much as possible."

Wei Tao asked again, "How far is Baifeng City from Chishan?"

"The distance is very far, but I prepared a floating spirit boat early, and it won't take too long to fly all the way there."

She glanced at the city wall that was already in front of her, and her eyes extended outward through the doorway, "But we can't take the spirit boat all the way. After all, its target is too obvious. It will be easy to be targeted by others after approaching Chishan, so we still have to get off and walk for the last part of the journey."

Half an hour later.

The carriage stopped at an open space on the river beach.

Wei Tao's curiosity was also satisfied at this time.

A shuttle-shaped airship was parked on the ground.

It was about thirty meters long and two stories high.

The surface was engraved with complicated lines of talismans, which intertwined and eventually sank into the protruding cabins at the front and rear of the floating boat, and the whole body exuded a strong spiritual atmosphere.

There were already several people waiting by the river.

When they saw the carriage coming, they all went to greet it.

Yan Ling smiled and naturally included Wei Tao in the team.

Even let him stand beside him.

Immediately, all kinds of eyes were attracted, either openly or secretly on him.

Wei Tao had no reaction to this.

At this moment, all his attention was attracted by the lines of talismans on the surface of the spiritual boat.

While copying the complicated lines of talismans, the whole person soon fell into deep thought.

Aunt Feng and a middle-aged man whispered something, and the two quickly finished their communication, one on the left and one on the right to protect Yan Ling.

They knew the real purpose of this trip, and they knew what kind of danger they were facing.

That was a hidden arrow from the inside of the Yan family in Chishan.

Although the young lady's trip was secretive, it was still inevitable that she would be noticed by people with ulterior motives, so there would definitely be various dangers and obstacles along the way.

Their mission was to protect the young lady and return safely to the core area of ​​the family.

As for the selection and inheritance of the spirit of the sacred tree, it was no longer something that the servants could interfere with.

"Mr. Wei."

"Mr. Wei?"

Wei Tao suddenly came back to his senses and turned to look at Yan Ling.

"We should set off. Mr. Wei, please follow me on board."

As she walked towards the entrance of the spiritual boat, she slowly said, "There are several spiritual plant masters inside. If you are interested, you can also communicate with them about the practice of spiritual plant techniques."

Wei Tao responded casually, his mind still immersed in the talisman lines on the surface of the spiritual boat.

The two walked in the aisle inside the spiritual boat, one in front and one behind.

They met the Yan family spiritualists from time to time on the road.

They saluted respectfully at a distance, and only started to busy themselves after the two passed by.

Yan Ling always smiled and sometimes stopped to chat with people. She didn't show any airs of a Miss Yan.

She sent Wei Tao to the assigned room, and asked him in detail if he had any living requirements, then closed the door and turned to leave.

Click!

Accompanied by a slight vibration.

The spirit boat took off from the ground and slowly floated in the air.

Then it rose higher and higher until it sank into the clouds above.

Wei Tao pushed the door open and stood in front of the corridor window.

Looking at the ground getting farther and farther away outside, he carefully sensed the flow of spiritual energy on the surface of the spirit boat, and soon devoted all his attention to it.

Unconsciously, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed.

It made him have a breakthrough in the construction of the second pattern of Jialan.

"My friend is also a spiritual plant master invited by Miss Yan?"

Suddenly, an old voice sounded slowly.

An old man with white hair and beard and wearing a green robe walked out from the corner, followed by a young man who looked like his disciple.

Wei Tao remained motionless, his hands hidden in his sleeves seemed to be plucking the strings, while at the same time constructing the pattern of the second spiritual pattern in the depths of his consciousness.

After a moment of silence, the old man continued, "I am Duanmu Xun from Xuelian Mountain. The little boy looks a little unfamiliar. I wonder which fellow spiritual plant master you are a disciple of?"

Wei Tao still didn't respond.

At this moment, he was highly concentrated and carefully completed the last few spiritual lines.

Seeing this, the young man behind the old man couldn't help but frown, and his expression instantly turned cold.

He took a step forward and was about to speak.

But the old man pulled him back and signaled not to be impulsive.

At this moment, the window suddenly became dark.

The spirit boat dived into the clouds, cutting off the last ray of light from the sunset.

The next moment, the lights lit up silently.

The suddenly dark corridor was illuminated again.

And between the change of light and dark, there seemed to be a soft clicking sound.

It quietly swayed deep in Wei Tao's consciousness.

The construction of Jialan's second spiritual pattern was completed at this time.

In the status bar, the exercise interface finally has new changes.

Name: Second Spirit Pattern.

Progress: 10 percent.

Status: Beginner.

Description: Use gods to guide spirits and rely on the void.

"Whether to consume a gold coin in the status bar to increase the progress of the second spiritual pattern practice."

Wei Tao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, an expression of joy flashed between his brows.

He closed the status bar, finally turned around, and focused his gaze on the two of them.

"I was thinking about something just now. What did the old gentleman say? I'm sorry I didn't hear it clearly."

"I am Duanmuxun from Snow Lotus Mountain. I wonder which fellow spiritual planter I am a disciple of?"

"I am the disciple of Master Zhou of the Red Line Sect."

Wei Tao did not hesitate this time and responded casually.

Red Line Gate, Master Zhou?

The old man in green robe thought about it and was sure that he had never heard of this name before.

The next moment, a smile appeared on his face, "It turns out that he is a master disciple of the Red Line Sect. I wonder what kind of spiritual planting technique this little friend is proficient in. What thoughts and insights do you have about the situation faced by the sacred tree in the Chishan Spiritual Realm?"

Hearing this, Wei Tao couldn't help but be slightly startled.

It was really because the old gentleman's tone and expression were too serious that he was a little confused, and even a little doubtful, whether there really was a red line gate for cultivating spiritual planters in this world.

After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "I'm proficient in making clouds and rain, and I also have some experience in planting trees. I just haven't seen the sacred tree yet. It's a bit too early to express my thoughts and opinions now. I still have to get close before I can prescribe the right medicine." "

Duanmuxun's eyes flashed with light, and he was about to say something more, but fell silent when he saw Aunt Feng coming quickly.

"Mr. Duanmu and Mr. Wei, the dinner is ready. Miss, please come over to the banquet."

Several tables have been set up in the restaurant.

Seeing Wei Tao and others coming in, Yan Ling immediately stood up and greeted them.

After some polite greetings, everyone sat down as directed and quietly waited for the banquet to begin.

Yan Ling naturally sat at the head of the table.

Next to them were Aunt Feng and the guard leader named Jing Rong.

One on the left and one on the right to protect her in the middle.

Next, in addition to Duanmuxun and his disciples, there was also a serious-looking man in black and a middle-aged woman covered in ornaments who took their seats.

After Yan Ling introduced them one by one, Wei Tao had a general understanding of the other two.

They are also invited spiritual planters.

The man in black is named Xinzhan, and he is good at refining and exorcising poisons.

A middle-aged woman named Dai Yang has unique insights into how to eliminate spiritual insects.

After some small talk, wine and food were quickly placed on the table.

Seeing that the atmosphere was already more lively and the invited spiritual planters were beginning to get familiar with each other, Yan Ling raised her wine glass and looked around with a smile.

"You are all spiritual planters with special skills. I hope that everyone can work together and cooperate sincerely this time. As long as we can find out the cause of the disease of our ancestors, the little girl will definitely not hesitate to repay.

And if the disease can be cured by medicine and the ancestor of the sacred tree can recover, you will be my benefactor, Yan Ling, and you will also be the honored guests of our Yan family, and even gain the friendship of the entire Chishan Spiritual Realm. "

"Come, let's drink this cup together. I wish this trip a smooth success!"

Everyone stood up at the same time and drank the wine in their glasses.

Bang!

At this moment, without any warning, the entire floating spirit boat shook violently.

In an instant, the ship's hull tilted, and the food and wine on the table spilled all over the floor.

The entire small hall was filled with the aroma of wine and food.

Yan Ling's expression changed, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.

The leader of the guard, Jing Rong, ducked and came to the door.

At this moment, his heart was filled with anger.

If anything happens at this time, he, the leader of the guard, may be done for.

Bang!

As soon as Jing Rong's outstretched hand touched the dining room door, he felt a huge force coming in and hitting him hard.

Kick, kick, kick!

He took several steps back.

The severe pain from his palm made his expression change drastically.

At the moment when the huge power suddenly appeared, he had already subconsciously activated his spiritual skills, but he still could not resist the cold force coming from outside the door, and even injured his physical body at the moment of contact.

"Mo Li!?"

Jing Rong gritted his teeth and spoke word by word.
