Infinity through different life

Chapter 162 Another Use of the Status Jade Card

The morning light dewed slightly, the sky was getting brighter, and people in the Xu Mansion gradually became noisy.

Xu Jing changed his clothes and walked out of the room.

After his strengthening this time, there are still 4150 original points left, and there is no plus sign behind the exercises and flames. Obviously, the original points are not enough to continue to strengthen.

He simply went straight to his parents' residence and told them about his plans to return to the sect.

After having breakfast with his parents, Xu Jing left the house with Xiao Lian's packed things and returned directly to Lie Shanzong.

At this time, there was a lot of people in the sect, and groups of registered disciples on the martial arts training field kept shouting and shouting, and it was very lively with people coming and going.

When he reached the Zangshu Pavilion, Xu Jing was slightly stunned. He saw that it was under construction. Depending on the situation, the Zongmen wanted to build another Zangshu Pavilion on the same site.

After he stopped and watched for a while, he went to Xu Maozong's residence without stopping.

One who has cultivated the Raging Fire Saber Technique to the second level can already be regarded as an elite disciple in the sect. As an elite disciple, Xu Maozong can already own a small courtyard alone.

And the small courtyard that Xu Maozong chose was adjacent to his senior brother Lin Yuanqing, Xu Jing hurried all the way, and soon came to the gate of the small courtyard.

dong dong dong...

He knocked on the door lightly, but after a while, there was no sign of Xu Maozong.

Just when he was puzzled, the door next door opened with a creak, and Lin Yuanqing came out and said, "Your uncle took a mission from the school three days ago and went out, and it will take two or three days at the earliest to come back."

"Mission?" Xu Jing frowned slightly.

"It's the task of escorting a caravan to Yuanshui City. If everything goes well, it will take several days to go back and forth." Lin Yuanqing said with a smile: "He guessed that you would look for him, and specifically asked me to tell you when I see you." .”

Xu Jing's heart tightened. Ever since he learned about the dangers of this world, he has been particularly insecure, and this is not only for himself, but also for his family.

The reason why he decided to snatch Zongmen Zongshu Pavilion a few days ago is mainly due to this reason.

Zongmen's decoctions for improving physical fitness are not free, but need to be exchanged for contribution points.

Xu Jing couldn't tell his uncle about the system, so Xu Maozong would definitely continue to accept tasks in order to help him exchange the liquid medicine. Although the tasks were all ordinary, who could guarantee that he would not encounter any problems.

A few years is too long to wait, and there are too many variables in such a long time.

Xu Jing didn't dare to gamble. For him, if he had to choose between the sect and the safety of his family, the answer was obvious. Besides, he just joined the sect, so he didn't have much sense of belonging.

Now that he heard the news that Xu Maozong had left for two days, he was somewhat anxious, worried about accidents.

"Don't worry." Lin Yuanqing saw Xu Jing's worry, and comforted him: "You are following the official path, so there will be no problems. This is the Central Plains."

Xu Jing has read the incident records of the Black Demon Guards. It is rare for demons and ghosts to appear in the Central Plains, and the official road represents the safe route that has been cleared by the Black Demon Guards. There is still security.

After thinking for a while, he asked Maozong about the specific situation of accepting the task, and then he was a little relieved, and said to Lin Yuanqing: "Thank you, uncle."

Lin Yuanqing nodded, and asked about Xu Jing's body, but Xu Jing dealt with it without changing his face, then took his leave and chose to leave.

He didn't go back to his residence, but went all the way to the place where he received the mission.

This is a four-story loft, the hall downstairs is the most spacious, and the flow of people is the most.

Each of the four floors has tasks that can be accepted by different disciples. From bottom to top, there are four levels: registered, formal, elite, and core disciples.

As Xu Jing's official disciple, he can only go to the second floor.

At this time, there were about a dozen people on the second floor, and their eyes were all fixed on a white wall.

The wall is smooth and flat, and it is densely covered with handwriting with charcoal pencils. Each line is a task.

Most of these tasks are of a hiring nature. For the fledgling disciples, they can not only exercise themselves, but also get familiar with the world through the tasks. Of course, they can also help the sect earn benefits. After all, the development of the sect cannot be separated from financial support.

Xu Jing glanced at ten lines, kept looking, and finally his eyes stopped at the lower right corner of the wall.

"Messaging mission: Destination Yuanshui City, the time limit is three days, and you will get 200 contribution points when you complete it."

The Lieshan Sect does not have such high-level things as the internal network like the Black Shadow Guard. Generally, most of the letters are delivered by Xinniao, but sometimes some are selected to be posted in the mission and handed over to the low-level disciples to complete.

Although the rewards for this type of mission are not high, they are safer than other missions.

Xu Jing made up his mind in an instant and took this task. Originally, he was worried about Xu Maozong and wanted to go to Yuanshui City to have a look.

Now that he has decided to stay in Lie Shanzong to slowly investigate the truth about the liquid medicine, he naturally has to behave like a normal disciple, and just happened to take a mission along the way.

After making the decision, he walked to the counter at the entrance of the hall, reported the mission number and identity information for registration, got the mission specific information and letter 1, quickly went down the stairs, and left Lieshanzong.

Half a day later, Xu Jing rode out of Anhe City on a tall horse with a cloth bag and a long knife on his back, and headed towards Yuanshui City along the official road.

He galloped all the way and arrived at the only station between the two cities before dark. After confirming that Xu Maozong was not there, he fostered the horses at the station, found a place where no one was around, and summoned the zombie armor.

In order to reach Yuanshui City as soon as possible, Xu Jing did not hesitate to spend 1700 origin points to strengthen the outer armor to the strength of Zizhu, then he left the official road and kept a certain distance and started on his way.

This distance will not be discovered by those who walk the official road at night, and it can ensure that he can detect the breath of strangers.

Fortunately, nothing happened. In the middle of the night, he arrived outside Yuanshui City.

Xu Jing put away the zombie armor and waited patiently until the gate of Tianming city opened.

"It's so early." A group of tall city gate guards in full armor, wearing armor and holding spears, looked at Xu Jing vigilantly, and the leading city gate officer asked, "Where did you come from?"

"Anhe City." Xu Jing replied calmly.

The city gate officer nodded and stopped asking any further questions, but warned: "Don't cause trouble after entering the city."

Daliang Kingdom can't help the Jianghu, but the imperial court still has a lot of control over the people in the Jianghu, and those who often hang around in the Jianghu, more or less know about monsters and ghosts, and know how to measure.

Xu Jing responded, turned his palm over, took out a piece of broken silver and handed it over discreetly, and asked, "Is there any caravan from Anhe City these two days?"

The city gate officer skillfully took the silver and hid it, with a smile on his face, he said: "There is one, I just arrived yesterday afternoon, I heard that it is staying at the Laifu Inn, after entering the city, go straight, and you can see it after two streets. .”

Xu Jing breathed a sigh of relief, thanked him, and went straight to the Laifu Inn after passing through the city gate.

It was still early at this time, and there were not many people on the street. It only took him more than ten minutes to find the Laifu Inn located at the corner of the street.

The inn had just opened, and the young man who was sweeping the floor immediately put down his work and came out to greet him: "Come inside, do you want to eat or stay in the inn?"

Xu Jing stepped into the store, and was about to ask a question, but when he looked up, he happened to see Xu Maozong coming down from the upstairs, and immediately waved happily and shouted: "Uncle!"

"Jing'er!" Xu Maozong was surprised, walked down the stairs quickly, grabbed him and said, "Why are you here?"

Xu Jing was completely relieved now, pulled Xu Maozong to the side and sat down, called the waiter for some food, and then said to Xu Maozong: "I went back to the sect, and I heard from my uncle that you came to Yuanshui City. , I took a mission here by the way, come and have a look.”

"You child." Xu Maozong thought for a moment, and realized that Xu Jing was worried about him. He was moved in his heart, patted Xu Jing on the shoulder and said, "Your uncle, I have traveled all over the world for so many years, so I have been careful."

Xu Jing smiled awkwardly, and said, "If I care about it, then it will cause chaos."

Xu Maozong was full of relief, and asked, "By the way, what mission did you take?"

Xu Jing talked about the task, and the others have already arrived at Yuanshui City, and they only need to send the letter to someone and get a reply to complete it, there is no difficulty at all.

Xu Maozong was also relieved after hearing this, and the two began to chat while eating, but at this moment there was a burst of panic-stricken crying from the second floor of the inn.

"It's not good, come quickly, my lady is dead!"

The crying and shouting immediately alarmed the entire inn, and people walked out of the room one after another, causing a commotion.

"It seems to be a family member of one of the caravans I escorted." Xu Maozong's expression changed, and he said, "Go, go up and have a look."

Xu Jing followed Xu Maozong silently and went upstairs.

At this time, the door of a guest room was already surrounded by a crowd of spectators, most of these people were businessmen traveling together, and there were also a few powerful guards from Kong Wu.

There were two people standing in the room, a man and a woman. The man was dressed in expensive clothes, tall and thin, about 50 or [-] years old, while the woman was dressed as a maid and was crying quietly.

In addition, there was a young girl lying on the bed in the room. This girl was tall and beautiful. Unfortunately, she was already dead.

And not only was he dead, he must have been violated before he died. Although he was covered with a thin quilt and could not see the specific situation, the smell in the room had not dissipated.

After seeing the situation inside, Xu Maozong confirmed that the accident was indeed one of the caravan he escorted this time.

However, he sent these people yesterday to Guishui City. He has completed the task and obtained the certificate.

It is better to do less than to do more. After taking a few glances, he pulled Xu Jing and whispered: "Let's go."

Xu Jing nodded, and after taking another deep look at the dead girl, he turned and left without hesitation.

The palm of his right hand, which was tucked in his sleeve, became hot, and then the jade badge of Black Shawei's identity began to tremble slightly.

Although the girl looked like she was killed by a flower picker, Xu Jing knew in her heart that this matter should not be that simple.

However, he wouldn't mind his own business, he and Xu Maozong squeezed out of the crowd and prepared to leave the inn.

Xu Maozong went back to the house to pack his luggage, but he left the inn first and waited outside the door.

There were quite a few people around the inn door, they were discussing softly, and they could hear clearly with Xu Jing's ear.

"How many is this?"

"The sixth one."

"I don't know which flower picker did it. Not to mention harming his daughter, he even killed someone. Sigh..."

"Master Zhao of Yamen is investigating this matter, and I heard that he has found a clue."

“I hope the murderer can be caught as soon as possible.”…

Xu Jing stood aside and listened silently. Not long after, Xu Maozong walked out of the inn with a cloth bag on his back.

The two of them first went to the place where the message was delivered. After completing the task without any trouble, they went straight out of the city gate.

Xu Jing's horse was still left at the post station, so they simply bought a carriage when they returned.

Xu Maozong was not surprised that Xu Jing learned to drive and ride a horse so quickly. He sat in the carriage with peace of mind and let Xu Jing drive back to Anhe City.

Xu Jing was driving the carriage, but his attention was focused on the identity jade badge in his palm, and he had entered the internal network of the Black Shadow Guard.

He didn't care about other things, and directly sent a message to Zhu Lie: "Brother Zhu, I was at the scene of a murder just now, but the identity jade badge became hot and vibrated. What's going on?"

Zhu Lie seemed to be online all the time, and it took only a few seconds for Xu Jing to send the message before he came back: "Are you sure?"

"Definitely!" Although the identity jade badge is silent now, Xu Jing is extremely sure about what happened before.

Zhu Lie quickly replied: "I forgot to tell you that our identity jade badge is also used to detect the aura of monsters and ghosts and their general strength. You click on your information, and there should be a hint in it."

Xu Jing immediately clicked on his personal information, and sure enough, there was a prompt below: "Found the breath of a ghost, and the strength is grade C."

Under this prompt message, there are two options of "report the situation" and "resolve the report".

Xu Jing quit his personal information and told Zhu Lie that he saw the reminder.

Zhu Lie quickly replied: "If this ghost has already harmed someone, you can choose to report the situation in detail, and then the higher-ups will send someone who specializes in dealing with ghosts, and you will be rewarded with merit after the solution is resolved. Of course, if If you are sure, you can also solve it yourself, and then report the details, so that you will have more meritorious service."

"Harmful?" Xu Jing asked, "Then if the ghost detected by the jade card is not harmful, then it can't be dealt with?"

"It can be dealt with, but I advise you not to do it, and you will not get any merit, and it will increase hatred or cause trouble." Zhu Lie was very patient: "Brother, remember my words, there are so many demons and ghosts in the world. , Not all things will harm people, there are good and bad people, and there are naturally good and bad monsters, and it is because of this reason that our Daliang country and even all human beings can survive."

This is not the first time Xu Jing has heard Zhu Lie mention this matter. Human beings are so weak, but Daliang Guoneng has existed and grown to this day, and it is indispensable for it to be protected by powerful aliens.

He is not an extreme person, of course he would not act recklessly, so he immediately agreed with Zhu Lie's statement.
