Infinity through different life

Chapter 59

After eight consecutive days of rushing, Xu Jing and his party finally entered the Central Plains area, and the city of Anhe was already in sight.

After the ghost encounter on the first night after departure, he never encountered anything unusual during the rest of the journey.

Of course, he didn't mention the fact that he was being targeted by ghosts to anyone.

After about a stick of incense, they came to the outside of Anhe City, and after being interrogated by the city gate guards for a while, they entered the city smoothly.

Compared with Guishui City, Anhe City is not only larger, but also more prosperous.

The streets were full of traffic and noisy crowds. Groups of girls and female relatives who showed their faces were coming and going, and the charming laughter rang out again and again.

In addition to the yelling of hawkers and the applause of busking performances, it seemed extremely noisy.

But the law and order here is not chaotic at all. Walking along the way, from time to time, you can see groups of soldiers in full body armor patrolling the streets to maintain order.

"Don't wander around, we're all waiting here."

Before entering the city, Xu Maozong had already contacted his senior brother through Xinniao, and brought Xu Jing and others to the agreed intersection.

Not long after, a middle-aged man dressed in a white robe, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, who looked younger than Xu Maozong, walked quickly towards their position.

Xu Maozong's face was full of joy, he took a few steps to greet him, and said excitedly: "Senior brother!"

"Junior brother!" The middle-aged man grabbed Xu Maozong's shoulders with both hands, and said with a little sigh: "It's good if you are willing to come back, let's go, I will take you to settle down first, and then we have something to say, let's talk slowly."

Xu Maozong nodded, turned around and waved to everyone, then walked side by side with the middle-aged man in front, chatting along the way.

Xu Jing and others followed behind, walked through the commercial street for about half an hour, and arrived in front of a mansion that was bigger than their home in Guishui City.

"This is a house under my name, and no one takes care of it at ordinary times, so you can live here."

After the middle-aged man said something, he took out the key, opened the big lock on the door, and then stuffed it into Xu Maozong's hand.

Xu Maozong didn't refuse either, and said with a smile: "Thank you, brother, then I will not be polite."

"Our fellow apprentices, what are you being polite about?"

The middle-aged man opened the door and walked in first, introducing the layout of the house along the way. Xu Maozong also took this opportunity to introduce each other to both parties.

Xu Jing finally found out that this middle-aged man's name was Lin Yuanqing.

The guards got their orders and went to arrange the horses and luggage, and Xu Maozhe also had a lot of things to do, so he took Xu Jing's mother and sisters and left first, and finally only Xu Jing was left. Xu Maozong reminded him to follow along. to the lobby.

When he got here, Xu Maozong solemnly introduced again: "Brother, this is my nephew Xu Jing."

Lin Yuan had noticed Xu Jing early in the morning, and also found out the clue, and asked, "Did you teach him the Fiery Saber technique?"

"That's right." Xu Maozong admitted, "I will explain it to the sect later."

"That's not necessary." Lin Yuanqing waved his hand and said: "Since you have chosen to return to the sect, he has learned the Fiery Sword Technique and is naturally your apprentice. Just tell the master and report to the sect."

Xu Maozong had expected it a long time ago, so he was not surprised. He continued to lead the topic and said, "Do you know the reason for my return, Senior Brother?"

"Could it be because of your nephew?" Lin Yuanqing saw it, and then looked at Xu Jing again, and looked at him seriously, and suddenly he was startled, and said with incredulity in his eyes: "His cultivation?"

Xu Jing himself didn't hide anything. Seeing Xu Maozong nod his head as a signal, he immediately got lucky, and the strength of the third level of the Fiery Saber Technique completely exploded.

hiss~!

Lin Yuanqing gasped, and looked at Xu Maozong in disbelief.

"Senior brother, you read it right." Xu Maozong said proudly: "My nephew has indeed reached the realm of fierce flames."

"This……"

Lin Yuanqing still couldn't believe that the Fiery Knife Technique was not a skill that could be accomplished quickly. It had to be done step by step, constantly strengthening the body and adapting the meridians through the secret medicine and internal qi circulation, and then he could break through little by little.

Moreover, practitioners also need corresponding qualifications. Lin Yuanqing is now 39 years old, and he himself only entered the flame level two years ago, so he naturally knows the difficulty of the cultivation process.

But how old is Xu Jingcai? He is still less than 20 years old. Even the most outstanding person recorded in the sect only reached the third level when he was 25 years old.

More importantly, Lin Yuanqing has been communicating with Xu Maozhe by letters, and knows some things about Xu Jing's body, and also knows that Xu Jing has never practiced before.

It is possible that the body can be cured, but the cultivation of these three levels of Fiery Sword Technique is simply a fantasy.

He finally understood why Xu Maozong was willing to come back, and couldn't help asking: "Junior Brother, tell me quickly, how did you do this?"

Xu Maozong and Xu Jing looked at each other. They had already discussed the countermeasures on the way here, and they immediately replied: "My nephew is very lucky. When I was visiting the market, I bought it from a hunter who lived outside the city. A stone with something special."

"But some kind of natural treasure?" Lin Yuanqing's eyes lit up, and he thought of the key point.

Xu Maozong nodded with a smile, and said, "It's a piece of red fire jade covered by fire core rock."

"what?!"

Lin Yuanqing was stunned. The red fire jade, which only existed in the ancient records, is said to be made entirely from the condensation of fire milk from the center of the earth. It can be melted as long as it is soaked in water. After taking it, it can not only heal injuries, but also improve physical fitness To increase one's skill, for those who practice the Raging Fire Saber Technique, it is a treasure that is dreamed of in legends.

Lin Yuanqing looked at Xu Jing with a look of extreme envy, and then he couldn't help saying, grabbed them and walked out, "Junior Brother, let's go see Master now."

……

The sect that Xu Maozong worshiped was called Lieshanzong, and the headquarters of the sect was built in the Luofeng Mountains outside Anhe City.

The Luofeng Mountains cover hundreds of miles, with hundreds of steep peaks, big and small. The most tall and towering sycamore trees on the mountain, it is said that this place was the habitat of a colorful fire phoenix in ancient times.

The headquarters of the Lieshan Sect is built on the highest and largest mountain outside the Luofeng Mountains. This mountain named directly after the sect name is not only extremely high and steep, but also has only one road up the mountain.

Following Lin Yuanqing, Xu Jing passed through dozens of light and dark checkpoints before reaching the top of the mountain.

After arriving here, what you can see is a group of buildings stretching across the entire mountain. There are many large and small palaces and lofts, arranged in a patchwork order. From time to time, you can see a young man wearing a green shirt with a pattern of burning flames sewn on his chest Shuttle back and forth.

Most of these young men carry a long sword on their backs, both men and women. Each of them looks strong and strong, with good kung fu skills.

Walking along the way, the young people I met stopped and saluted Lin Yuanqing respectfully.

Xu Jing could tell that the sect seemed to attach great importance to rules.

"I have been away for more than ten years. I didn't expect that the sect has changed so much now and that it has accepted so many disciples." Xu Maozong looked at the surrounding buildings and was filled with emotion. He remembered that the Lieshan Sect did not have so many people in the past.

Lin Yuanqing explained in a low voice: "Senior Brother Xingcheng is in charge of the sect now. You know what kind of person he is. The changes in the sect today are all after he took over."

"The people who live in this front mountain are all registered disciples who have passed the basic examination and then screened out with clean identities."

"These people need to receive and complete various tasks or donate money to obtain martial contributions. After the contributions are sufficient, they can exchange for the first layer of the Blazing Blade Technique."

"If you succeed in cultivation, you will be able to obtain the status of an official disciple, and if an official disciple wants to obtain secret books, or forge weapons, etc., he also needs to exchange them with contributions from the sect, and the exchanged exercises cannot be passed on privately, otherwise they will be banned. The law enforcement team will pursue it."

"Hmph! Let alone me, even our master and a few other uncles can't avoid these rules."

Xu Jing was listening. He remembered that the prerequisite for practicing the Fiery Sword Technique was to condense the True Yang Seed. To condense the True Yang Seed, you need the help of someone who has practiced the Fiery Sword Technique to at least the second level, and help The person will also lose a certain amount of vitality.

Regarding the contribution system, he thinks it is very reasonable. Otherwise, if he wants to strengthen the sect, who would afford the entry training of so many disciples for no reason.

However, listening to Lin Yuanqing, it seems that he is somewhat dissatisfied with the suzerain named Xingcheng in the sect.

Lin Yuanqing introduced them while walking, and led them to the door of an exquisite two-story building, and said, "Master lives here now, let's go, let's go up."

He said and raised his legs to go in. Xu Maozong looked a little excited, took a deep breath and followed in.

Xu Jing walked at the end and looked at the small building in front of him.

Above the gate of the building is a plaque engraved with the words "Yangxin Building". The characters are elegant and dusty, giving people a wonderful feeling full of vitality.

The entrance is a hall, four windows are opened in the hall, bright sunlight shines in, some simple mahogany furniture is placed around, and there is a wooden step leading to the upper floor at the corner of the room.

After Xu Jing walked around the hall unhurriedly, he climbed up the steps. Before he arrived, he heard a burst of old but hearty laughter from above.

He walked a few steps upstairs and saw a thin old man with gray hair and wrinkles on his face, who was talking to Xu Maozong, his face full of joy.

The little old man was wearing simple cloth clothes. He looked like an old farm man, plain and plain, with no aura on his body.

But Xu Jing didn't dare to underestimate the other party. In his telepathy, this little old man was stronger than Lin Yuanqing. Although he also didn't reach the innate level, he was only one chance away from breaking through.

"Jing'er, come here!"

After finding Xu Jing coming up, Xu Maozong hurriedly greeted him.

And Lin Yuanqing also clung to the little old man's ear at the right time, quickly telling what he knew.

"what!"

When the little old man heard the red fire jade, his eyes flashed, his figure sprang out like a ghost, came to Xu Jing, and stretched out his hand to grab it.

Xu Jing subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but he suppressed it forcefully, allowing the other party to grab his arm, and let a stream of inner energy enter his body to explore.

Soon, the little old man's exclamation kept ringing out.

It seems to have discovered something extraordinary.

He looked at Xu Jing in amazement, as if seeing a piece of uncarved jade, his eyes were full of excitement.
