Starting from the Valkyrie, pushing across the ages

Chapter 57 Ask the Heart Stone

"it is good."

Glancing at Wen Lingyu who was full of anticipation, Shen Qing didn't react much, and took off the mask directly by raising her hand.

Such a straightforward reaction caught Wen Lingyu a little off guard. Subconsciously, a beautiful face appeared in her eyes.

Under the silver mask, the eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, and the skin is fair and flawless, like the dewdrops in the morning sun, which can almost be described as translucent, and the expression in the eyes is flat and crystal clear.

Shen Qing did not change her appearance. In this world, there are not many people who have seen her true face, especially in the land of Lingzhou.

Looking at the eyebrows and eyes under the mask, which were completely different from what she had imagined, Wen Lingyu lost her mind for a moment.

"It turned out to be a heroine..."

After regaining her senses, Wen Lingyu twitched the corners of her mouth and forced a smile, her melancholy eyes contained a trace of imperceptible disappointment, the young girl's heart that had just sprouted was smashed into pieces.

Some stories are over before they begin.

She picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea, concealing the embarrassment in her heart, and her breathing rate was a little uncontrollable.

She never thought that the person who kills people like mowing grass and strikes so fiercely will be a woman, and she is also such a beauty.

Such a reaction fell into Shen Qing's eyes, but it changed a bit. For a while, her eyes changed slightly, and she began to search whether Wen Lingyu's face appeared in Shen Qing's memory.

If this person had met Shen Qing before and knew her true identity, it would undoubtedly be a hidden danger.

Thinking of this, Shen Qing drank tea with her head down, her eyelids drooped, covering up the beating murderous intent in her eyes.

Wen Lingyu suddenly felt a little chilly in her body, subconsciously hugged her arms, and said slowly:

"At the end of the month, there will be a cargo ship going out to sea to deliver some supplementary medicinal materials to Longquan Xiandao. You can go with me at that time, and I will go with you to help you get some supplies."

Hearing this, Shen Qing looked at Wen Lingyu calmly, unable to confirm whether her guess just now was accurate.

After pondering for a moment, Shen Qing temporarily suppressed her murderous intention. Wen Lingyu is her only clue now, and she cannot be bypassed if she is going to Longquan Immortal Island.

"I will arrange a guest room for you, and stay here first. If you have other needs, you can contact the shopkeeper at any time, and he will try his best to help you."

After saying that, Wen Lingyu got up and left the private room. After closing the door, she sighed faintly and stood outside the door for a long time before slowly leaving.

The next morning.

A sound of footsteps startled Shen Qing who was practicing. She sensed for a moment, but she didn't notice the danger. She got up and got out of bed, and opened the door.

Wen Lingyu, who was about to knock on the door, looked at the silver mask on Shen Qing's face, and withdrew her hand with a slightly unnatural expression.

Beside her, there was a middle-aged man, near his age, wearing a purple robe with a silver placket, his figure was slightly fatter, and his face was quite soft. Somewhat similar to Wen Lingyu, with a small package in his hand.

"Under Wen Yunfeng."

Before she could open her mouth, the man clasped his fists in a salute and announced his family name:

"Thank you for your action the day before yesterday, so that the little girl escaped a catastrophe. I was busy with business yesterday, so I didn't come to call on the same day. I was a little rude. I came here to express my thanks."

Shen Qing stepped aside to let the father and daughter enter the house.

Wen Yunfeng looked very cheerful. After entering the door, he directly put the package in his hand on the table and opened it, revealing a brocade box and a stack of shining golden tickets.

"This is a small gift, not a respect."

Shen Qing glanced at it casually, and couldn't help but move his eyes slightly. There are ten gold tickets in one bundle, no more, no less, exactly three bundles.

The price is 3000 taels of gold and 3 taels of silver. For a smaller city, the annual tax revenue is no more than this amount.

As expected of a large trading family, this move is not inappropriate.

despair--

With a soft sound, Wen Yunfeng opened the brocade box on the side, and in the box lay a white lotus plant nearly a foot high, the roots were still stained with soil, the petals were crystal clear, and the stamens like ice capes could be vaguely seen.

A faint fragrance immediately permeated the whole room, and Shen Qing felt that his body was much lighter after just taking a few sips.

Judging from the veins of the lotus leaves, this snow lotus, at least 800 years old, may even be a thousand-year-old medicine, whose value far exceeds the 3000 taels of gold.

"I heard what Lao Han said, your Excellency is a hidden master who is enough to be listed on the earth list. This snow lotus should be useful to you." Wen Yunfeng smiled lightly and closed the brocade box.

"This gift is a bit heavy."

Shen Qing frowned slightly, such a generous attitude made her a little suspicious.

This kind of old medicine from last year is effective for great masters, and it has a price but no market.

"My Wen Yunfeng's daughter is not comparable to these vulgar things."

Wen Yunfeng shook his head, didn't say much, and changed the topic: "I heard from Lingyu that you want to borrow a cargo ship from our chamber of commerce to go to Longquan Xiandao to find someone?"

"Not bad." Shen Qing nodded.

"The hero doesn't ask where he came from. Since your Excellency shows you with a mask, you don't want to reveal your identity. I won't ask too much, but Longquan Xiandao is different from Daxia. It's a place outside the world. In order to avoid trouble, I want to remind you one or two first."

Wen Yunfeng restrained his smile, and his expression became a little more serious.

"Appreciate further details."

Shen Qing raised her spirits. There are too many rumors about Longquan Immortal Island in the world. It is rumored that there are still immortals in the world, but they do not appear in the world. There is no big mistake in being careful.

"Longquan Immortal Island has the rules of Longquan Immortal Isle. There are three clan powers on it. Wen's family monopolizes half of the country, and the remaining half is shared by the King Qin's family. The relationship is still harmonious."

Wen Yunfeng nodded and said bluntly: "However, none of the overseas islands will welcome outsiders. I hope your Excellency will be mentally prepared for this."

For this point, Shen Qing could vaguely guess some reasons.

An island is an island after all, with limited resources and only so many people it can carry. Outsiders, especially those who are not weak in cultivation, may have to share part of the resources. Based on this situation, the attitude of these overseas Chinese Naturally one can imagine.

"People from the outside world want to enter Longquan Immortal Island. There are two tests to pass. One is to be introduced by someone, and the other is to ask Xinshi."

Speaking of this, Wen Yunfeng pointed to the Lingyu beside him: "The first point is that there is Lingyu, you don't have to worry, the main thing is this questioning stone."

"What is the questioning heart stone?" Shen Qing's eyebrows were slightly raised.

"The Asking Heart Stone is a rare treasure handed down from ancient times. It has the ability to distinguish between the true and the false. It points directly at the heart and can break the truth in words."

When it comes to the questioning heart stone, Wen Yunfeng looked more serious, and said in a deep voice:

"When entering the island, the guards of the island will ask three questions, and you can answer according to your true thoughts. Generally speaking, as long as you are not a person with ulterior motives, you will not be embarrassed. Remember not to lie at will."

Shen Qing's eyes flickered slightly: "If the question has not passed, is there any other way to enter the island?"

"Naturally."

Wen Yunfeng nodded slightly, half-jokingly said:
"If you enter the Tianbang in the name of December, even if you enter the island directly, no one will stop you, and even a great master will come to welcome you."

"The last time a certain great master entered Longquan Xiandao, this was the result, but that was 15 years ago."
