The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 548 Beppu and Mirror Village

A magical monk who brought with him a dangerous cursed item and several Western wizards... Especially since this monk had a paranoid personality, he was very likely to be used by the sinister King Qin...

No wonder Hongyue took the risk to come find me. This is indeed a big trouble for her!
After all, although Hongyue's identity as a princess can intimidate most of the forces in Daxia, it is not necessarily of any use to a woman who abandoned her family, married far away in Taixi, and now has a dead son.

With the help of the King of Qin who knows her very well, if things go wrong, her life might be in danger...

Zhao Chen picked up the cup that Ming Hongyue had filled with tea for him again and blew on it. After a brief mental consideration, he had an idea of ​​how to deal with it, but he didn't say it out loud for the time being. He just looked at Ming Hongyue, who had concealed his sharp eyes, and asked again:
"What's the third thing? Once we've finished talking about it, we'll try to solve these problems."

At this point, he paused and added, "Of course, the same goes for rewards."

Hearing this, Ming Hongyue took out a jade talisman and said mysteriously, "The last thing I want to tell you is a good thing. You will definitely be happy to hear it."

As she spoke, she handed the jade talisman to Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen raised his eyebrows, took the jade talisman, and carefully observed it with his "Dongxu Eyes". He found that the jade talisman was made of ordinary materials and was a random rectangular shape. There was no spiritual energy attached to it. Except for a few runes drawn on the surface with Dao characters, it was just like a featureless ornament...

"Summon the gods..." Zhao Chen read out the meaning of the runes on the jade talisman in Daxia Mandarin, his eyes narrowed slightly, and after a long while he spoke again, "Is this the 'Summoning Gods' of the ancient Kunlun Tianyong City?
"Where did you get this?"

The so-called "God-summoning Edict" is rumored to be the identity token of the true disciples of the ancient Kunlun Tianyong City.

In addition to being a symbol of status, it also allows Tianyong disciples to summon any earth god canonized by Kunlun to possess their body in times of crisis and borrow their power to fight the enemy.

And Zhao Chen's current main practice, "The Chapter of the Divine Creation of the Sound of Sanskrit without Arrogance", originally came from the lineage of Kunlun Tianyong City. Among the eight prototypes of his innate spells that he automatically obtained when he was promoted to a higher level of magic power, the first-grade magical power corresponding to the pair of Gangsha spells, "Taiwei Huihuangqi" and "Huiyuan Mingji Fu", is called "Summoning the Gods", and its effect is the same as "Summoning the Gods Order", but the range of gods that can be summoned by the magical power is wider - except for Taichu Daojun, other gods can be canonized by the other Daojun, even the angels and patron saints of the West can be summoned.

As the de facto descendant of ancient Kunlun, Zhao Chen had been extremely interested in the intelligence of the Tianyong City lineage since a very early time, and naturally recognized the origin of the jade talisman in his hand.

Even because of the existence of the "Purple Light Ring", he did not think much of the magical power of "Summoning the Gods". He even considered washing away the prototypes of the two spells "Taiwei Huihuangqi" and "Huiyuan Mingji Fu" before being promoted to the sixth rank.

——For the innate magic, it is possible to change it in the embryonic stage, but once it is completely cultivated, there is no room for regret.

Of course, something like the "prototype of one's own magic spell" requires a specific position and supporting skills to be produced, and only the core disciples of the upper sects and aristocratic families can access it. Most cultivators in this world don't have this worry...

"As expected of you, you have cultivated the 'Spiritual Qi of the Five Immortals' and obtained the true meaning of Taichu. You are the true descendant of Kunlun Tianyong City!
"Mr. Chen, you really know the origin of this jade talisman..." Ming Hongyue blinked and said with a smile. I have to say again that her eyes are very beautiful and full of spirit.

"This 'God Summoning Order' was presented to me by my subordinates... You know, there is something polluted in my soul that is difficult to remove, so after hearing the story of how the founder of Tianyong City, Lord Paranimi, used divine sound to cleanse the external evil, I have been sending people to collect related items."

In the past, Ming Hongyue would not talk about her problems so frankly, but now that she has Zhao Chen, her life and property are guaranteed for the short term, so she no longer has the hysteria she used to have when talking about these things.

Zhao Chen nodded slightly. The recipe for the "Qingdi Runwu Pill" that she had refined before should have been collected in this way.

"In this age without gods, the 'Summoning Gods Decree' has lost its main function, but as a symbol of the identity of a true disciple of Tianyong City, it still has a special role..." Ming Hongyue looked at Zhao Chen who was sitting opposite her, and said directly without further ado, "I recently found out the location of a villa for disciples of Tianyong City. In order to open it, in addition to this jade talisman that symbolizes identity, a 'real' disciple of Tianyong City is also required to accompany you."

"Is this the good thing you mentioned? You want to invite me to explore that villa together?" Zhao Chen knew it clearly, or perhaps he had guessed the other party's intention of taking out the jade talisman even before Ming Hongyue said it, but he felt that this matter was a bit too coincidental. Why did the princess in front of him suddenly get the jade talisman and the location of the villa after just knowing him?
"Mr. Chen, do you think this is too coincidental? In fact, I also felt that there was something wrong at the beginning, and even suspected that this was a trap set by Ming Zihao." Ming Hongyue smiled and shook her head, then changed the subject, "But after I learned about the situation of that villa, I overturned my previous thoughts.

"Even if there is someone behind this, it won't be Ming Zihao!"

"Why do you think so?" Zhao Chen raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise.

The princess had obviously done her homework and answered confidently, "Because according to my people's report, that Beppu is located on Yingzhou Island, and it was discovered along with an abandoned village that suddenly appeared a few months ago.

"Although Ming Zihao is the King of Qin, he has many forces loyal to him, and he may even be in collusion with the Four Evils...but his hands cannot reach Yingzhou. After all, of the three immortal islands in the East China Sea, except for Fangzhang Island, which is the frontline hub, Yingzhou and Penglai are both the sphere of influence of Daoxianmen, one of the three holy places. Setting traps there is not only inconvenient, but also increases the risk of Ming Zihao and his conspiracy being exposed."

Hearing this, Zhao Chen frowned and was very concerned about the term "suddenly appeared abandoned village", because it reminded him of the ancient tomb that was also suddenly discovered outside the city of Luntai in Jinzhou.

So he hesitated for a moment, and asked curiously, "A village suddenly appeared? When was it, and what was it called?"

"I'm not sure exactly when it appeared, I just know it was a few months ago... As for the name, every household in that abandoned village has a mirror installed, so many people just call it -

"'Mirror Village'."
