"I bought it new and it drives pretty well." Zhang Jing said with a smile.

After chatting casually for a few words about cars, the two got in the car. Under the guidance of the old man, the car drove all the way to the east of the city.

About half an hour later, the car drove out of the crowded urban area. From time to time, you can see large areas of farmland covered with greenhouses on both sides of the road. Most of the crops grown here are relatively high-value cash crops such as mulberry trees and fruit trees. The proportion of grain is It's not big, and occasionally you can see some farmers in shabby clothes busy in the fields.

After a while, the car turned onto a branch road, which was somewhat similar to the mechanical plowing road in Zhang Jing's previous life. The road began to become bumpy, but due to the powerful shock absorber system, the two people in the car felt quite stable.

Several farmers with bare feet, dark skin and shabby clothes were sitting and resting by the plastic greenhouse. When they saw this luxury car approaching, they stood up hurriedly and watched the vehicle pass by with respectful expressions.

"The Li family is also a scholarly family. Our ancestors once had the title of earl, but unfortunately they were not world kings. They were demoted to the rank of nobles. In this generation, the title has long been gone. However, it is still a big local family. I heard that there are people in the family. Working as an official in another province." Mr. Zheng Han, who was sitting in the passenger seat, pointed to the farmers already behind the car: "The fields here belong to his family, and those just now should be his tenants."

"That's a really big family fortune." Zhang Jingruo nodded.

"Isn't it? I just heard that the old master left in a hurry and didn't have time to leave a will, so this is a bit troublesome..." The old gentleman lowered his voice and spoke in a rather cryptic way.

However, Zhang Jing understood as soon as he heard that it was probably some bloody plot such as fighting for property. After all, Emperor Chenghe of today has advocated equality since he succeeded to the throne, and promoted legislation to stipulate that legitimate descendants have equal inheritance rights, trying to break the previous aristocratic family. A tradition inherited by the eldest son.

This bill was privately known as the "Family Separation Order."

Although the implementation of the bill has been stumbling, it has still caused some impacts and changes, especially within the wealthy families, where the children who originally had little say are potential supporters.Of course, it is not necessarily said that the effect is significant, because now the gentry and nobles will leave a will to arrange their funeral arrangements before their death, and in a legal sense, the priority of the will is first.

The car drove for a while, and a traditional Jiangnan-style building appeared in front of it, with white walls and black tiles, and black and white flags hanging everywhere. It seemed that they were still in mourning period. Zhang Jing's car finally stopped in front of a high-walled courtyard. The parking space stopped.

As soon as we got off the car, a man dressed in blue as a servant came forward. When he saw Mr. Zheng Han stepping out of the passenger seat, he stepped forward to greet him and asked about his purpose.

"My surname is Zheng, and I have made an appointment with Shopkeeper Jin."

"It turns out that it's Mr. Zheng in person. Mr. Jin has already given instructions in advance. Please come with me..."

The group of people were silent all the way and entered from the side door of the house. Along the way, some servants were sweeping. When they saw a few people coming, they all pulled over.Zhang Jing noticed that the building was huge, and he guessed that it had a layout of four to five entrances, and the layout was also exquisite.

The man took the two people to the living room of the second wing room. An old man wearing a long robe and casual amber crown was already waiting inside. He had a rich face and a mustache. When he saw the two people coming in, He greeted him with a smile.

The two old men exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Zheng Han introduced Zhang Jing, so Zhang Jing met the old man again.

The old man surnamed Jin obviously had a charming personality. After learning that Zhang Jing had always been interested in cultural relics from the Pottery Period, he praised him for his elegance and youthfulness.

After a few people chatted for a while, the old man surnamed Jin led the two people inside and along the corridor to the study room next door. The study room was spacious, with a large mahogany painting table in the middle, and a library shelf behind the painting table. .

The old man surnamed Jin first invited the two of them to sit down on the chairs next to the room, then squatted down and used the key to open the cabinet door under the book shelf, then carefully took out a brocade box from inside, placed it on the painting table, and then He squatted down and held out another one of different colors... After doing this several times, there were seven more brocade boxes of different sizes on the painting desk.

After that, the old man surnamed Jin closed the cabinet door, walked to the painting desk, carefully opened the brocade box one by one, took out the items, and placed them on the painting desk.

Each of these seven brocade boxes contains two jade figures, a jade tablet, a scroll, a crystal ornament, and the last two are small agate carvings.

Chapter 88 Scroll World

After placing these items securely, the old man surnamed Jin took a few steps back, and then made an inviting gesture to Zhang Jing, who was sitting next to him.

Zhang Jing glanced at Mr. Zheng Han standing aside and saw him nodding, so he stood up, walked to the painting desk, and looked at the collections carefully.The old man surnamed Jin also stepped away politely, making way for Zhang Jing to observe.

Since his back was to the two of them and he was not worried about being seen by others, Zhang Jing activated the secret technique of "Refining Pupils with True Fire".Under the secret technique, Zhang Jing quickly swept through several items on the table. What surprised him was that the jade tablet that he thought might be the biggest before was because many of the Fa Zang he had encountered before were like this. This type of shape.

However, this jade tablet is actually just an ordinary jade tablet, and there is no halo on it under the secret technique.And right next to the jade token, the scroll was emitting orange light.

Under Zhang Jing's secret glance, among the seven items, this scroll was also the only one with a halo.

Zhang Jing dispersed his secret skills, reached out and picked up the scroll, and after turning his head to get permission from the old man named Jin, he carefully opened it.The wooden shaft in the center of the scroll was somewhat rotten, and Zhang Jing had to be careful not to break it.

The surface of the scroll should be made of some kind of leather, which looks very ancient. Some vague patterns can still be seen on the scroll. Zhang Jing looked carefully and saw that they were vague pictures of mountains, rivers and trees.Perhaps because they are so old, these patterns are almost impossible to see clearly.However, what is rare is that despite its long history, the leather roll itself has no serious signs of damage, and it is not known what animal skin it was originally made from.

After looking at it, Zhang Jing carefully rolled it up and put it back in place.Then he turned his attention to several other items, pretending to look through them for a while, and finally turned around, cupped his hands towards the old man surnamed Jin and said, "Old Jin, how much does this scroll cost?" As he spoke, he He pointed at the piece of leather.

"Ji Xing (the name given to the old man named Jin), look at my old face, so I can't let you cum!" Mr. Zheng Han on the side suddenly interjected in a joking tone.

The old man surnamed Jin smiled bitterly and pointed at his old friend, thought for a while, and finally said: "Well, I originally bought this scroll for 5000 yuan. The price should have increased somewhat, but... let's do it. I’ll just sell it to Old Man Zheng to save face, so I’ll take it at the original price.”

Zhang Jing glanced at Mr. Zheng Han and saw him nodding slightly, so he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Then it will be as you said, and I would like to thank Mr. Jin for your help."

..............................

Until Zhang Jing transferred the money and completed the transaction, it was all done by the old man named Jin. The real owner of these objects did not appear from the beginning to the end.Zhang Jing can also understand this. After all, according to the moral values ​​of this world, for these big families, things like selling their fields are somewhat disgraceful. This is somewhat different from his way of thinking in his previous life.

After completing the transaction, the two of them did not make any further disturbances. The old man surnamed Jin sent them all the way to the parking lot and watched them leave.

After leaving here, Zhang Jing turned around and returned along the original route. He first sent the old man back to Linzhou Tongbao City, drank a cup of tea in the store, chatted for a while, and then said goodbye and left.

On the way home, Zhang Jing drove by the well-known time-honored "Zhou's Crab Roe Buns" shop in Linzhou. He liked the taste of the soup dumplings very much. Although it was a bit early, Zhang Jing still got out of the car and ordered about three people. I ate a portion of steamed buns with the duck blood tofu soup prepared in the store, and bought some to take away before I left.

***

Returning to his residence, Zhang Jing sat down on the sofa in the main room and summoned the wishing book again, preparing to see the increase in wishing points:

Special event: You released original music on "Shell Music" under the stage name "Yuluo Tianmen"......

You and your songs are currently receiving attention in a certain range, and there is a slight disturbance in the underlying consciousness of the world.

A total of 2232 wishing points were added. (An additional 384 wishing points were added yesterday)

A total of 15738 wishing points were added. (An additional 3845 wishing points were added yesterday)

Special event: An incident involving an earthbound spirit occurred at No. 356 Mijiafang, Nanmen District, Hezhou City... This incident has been solved by you.

The anchor "Master Hua" has attracted attention in a certain range.

You dealt with five wraiths... ...the reward of awareness.

Your behavior has caused some people to have a major change in their understanding of materialism, and a weak disturbance has occurred in the underlying consciousness of the world, which is still expanding.

A total of 11848 wishing points were added. (An additional 6459 wishing points were added yesterday)

Looking at the latest data, Zhang Jing couldn't help but say "Wow" silently. According to the current data, his total wishing points have reached 33089 points, which can be said to be rising like a rocket.This was an experience Zhang Jing had never had before.

The most important source of wishing points is brought about by the topic hype of the "After the Sword" crew and the video released by "Flower Master". From the increase in wishing points, it can be seen whether this increasing trend is currently increasing. Minus, obviously, this topic is still in the diffusion stage.

I hope this topic can spread for a while, Zhang Jing thought optimistically.

After taking back the wishing book, Zhang Jing took the new scroll he bought today, spread it out, laid it flat on the table in the living room, and looked at it carefully.

After unfolding them all, the roll surface was visually estimated to be about 15 to 18 centimeters in width and about 50 centimeters in length. Apart from the faintly visible patterns of mountains, rivers and trees on the roll surface, Zhang Jing did not discover anything new.Because of its age, many spots on the scroll were stained, perhaps because some liquid had been spilled on it, making the images even more blurry and difficult to discern.

Zhang Jing tentatively used the method of controlling the magic weapon, mobilized the energy in his body to enter it, and began to slowly refine the scroll with his spiritual thoughts.As his actions continued, he saw that on the unfolded picture scroll, the originally blurry lines began to show blue light, like an invisible paintbrush, gradually outlining those lines, and gradually Lifelike.

In Zhang Jing's perception, there is some kind of illusory line extending from this scroll, spanning space, exploring the unknown area in the dark. This feeling makes him extremely familiar, that is, he has experienced it many times. The experience felt on the "Lishan Cave Heaven" jade plaque.

Feeling something in his heart, Zhang Jing stopped his training and withdrew his hand.At this time, the scroll unfolded in front of him had become completely different from before.As if the dust imparted by history has been washed away, the entire scroll becomes vividly colored and the lines are clear. Looking at it again, you can clearly see that this seems to be a picture scroll similar to a map.

The painting method of the scroll is very classical, very similar to the map illustrations drawn by the ancients in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" that Zhang Jing had seen in his previous life. Mountains, forests and some irregular thick lines that should be rivers can be identified on the map. In addition, , in multiple locations on the map, there are also special symbols, which seem to be a certain circular emblem.

Looking at this emblem, Zhang Jing instinctively felt that it looked familiar. Suddenly, he patted his head and went to the room to find a bronze round emblem, which he had found in the ghost house in Haozhou City not long ago. .If you look carefully, you will see that the pattern on this round emblem is almost the same as the special symbols on this scroll.

Just a coincidence?Zhang Jing feels that there is a high probability that the two are connected. After all, using various coincidences to change destiny is the consistent rhythm of wishing books.

About 10 minutes later, Zhang Jingsi, wearing an outdoor camouflage uniform, hiking shoes, and a bulging backpack, reappeared in the living room of the main house, fully armed, and stood in front of the open scroll. To be on the safe side, he brought On the round emblem.

With a solemn look on his face, he stretched out his arm and pressed it on the scroll. The next moment, the light flashed and he disappeared from the spot.

..............................

The sky was dim, and the eyes were full of dark vegetation. There were also some particularly huge unknown trees rising from the ground, and the surrounding area showed a sparse forest landscape.

Zhang Jing was carrying a backpack, squinting his eyes and looking at the surrounding situation carefully.

In the dim sky, white ashes, like snow flakes, are falling one after another, silently, unhurriedly, and lifeless. It seems that they intend to bury all the scenery under the ashes, but they always only cover it with a thin layer. After one layer, there is no more increase...

He received a piece of falling ashes blankly and crushed it between his fingers. Gray traces appeared on the fingertips, and then disappeared.

This seemed to be some kind of ash snow that he couldn't understand...

Looking up, there is no change in the hazy sky. It is hard to tell whether it is morning or evening. There is a light mist floating around, making it difficult to see clearly in the distance.

This is obviously not the world he originally lived in!The time-travel experience just now was somewhat similar to the experience he had when he went to Lishan Cave, which also made him more certain about the state he encountered.

However, the communication with the void here is not as direct as in Lishan Cave Heaven, and is somewhat similar to the situation on earth.Zhang Jing raised his hand and took a look. He actually brought the scroll in and held it in his hand.

Zhang Jing was about to open the scroll and see if there were any changes. It was too late, but it was too late. At this moment, his heart suddenly tightened, and an extremely unpleasant feeling came to his heart.

Without thinking too much, Zhang Jing dropped the scroll and jumped forward. After landing, he did not get up on the spot, but rolled out using the momentum of his fall. The speed was so fast that the figure disappeared in a flash.

At the same time, a series of impact sounds were heard, and about four or five "javelins" as thick as a clothes drying fork covered the position where Zhang Jing was just now with a strong impact.Two of them were nailed into a tree, directly penetrating the tree trunk as thick as a hug, while the other one was directly buried in the grass...

It was only then that Zhang Jing heard the sharp sound of a series of objects cutting through the air.

This javelin actually fired at the speed of a large-caliber military firearm!

The javelin shot after Zhang Jing one after another, like a volley of shots, fierce and fast, the surrounding trees, grass blades and branches as thick as a calf were directly exploded, and even some trees as thick as a person were directly pierced.

Zhang Jing did two consecutive rolls and took off the backpack he had been carrying on his back. His whole body shrank into a ball, as if he had become three inches shorter out of thin air. His figure flashed past the fire of more than ten javelins and turned to a tree with several people on the side. Embrace trees side to rear.

Relying on the cover of the tree trunk, Zhang Jing stood up. At this time, there was a green long sword on his right hand, and his left hand was also covered with an arm shield.

Holding the sword in his hand, Zhang Jing squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the javelin. However, where he was looking, there seemed to be a blurry figure shaking. If he looked carefully, it merged with the surrounding background. , unable to identify the specific location of the enemy.

Does the enemy have some hidden ability?Zhang Jing suddenly made a guess.The next moment, golden flames ignited in his eyes. Under the observation of the secret technique of real fire pupil refining, the sneak attacker was finally unable to hide.

This is a monster that is not comparable to any earth creature he knows from ancient times to the present. This monster looks to be a head taller than Zhang Jing. Preliminary visual inspection will definitely not be lighter than an adult rhinoceros. , this kind of monster seems to have no body. A huge head is flanked by two strong kangaroo-like lower limbs, and on this extremely huge head, an impressive bloody mouth takes up most of the space. The mouth was slightly open, and you could even see the sharp teeth and water dripping from the corners of the mouth. Zhang Jing made a visual inspection and found that the mouth was big enough for him to lie in...

On the monster's fur, some colors change like camouflage, making it blend into the surrounding environment.

Zhang Jing stretched out his hand and pulled up a clump of long muddy grass. He took a deep breath and threw it outward. At the same time as he was throwing it, several javelins were already whizzing towards the long grass.

Zhang Jing himself, on the other hand, rushed in the other direction at the moment when the long grass was thrown. With the help of the trees in the forest, Zhang Jing quickly closed the distance with the monster.

Realizing that it had found the wrong target, the monster quickly adjusted its direction. However, this momentary mistake had narrowed the distance between it and Zhang Jing to within 30 meters. For Zhang Jing, this distance is already very close. .

The monster lowered its body and three more javelins shot out from behind it. Zhang Jing did not dodge and allowed the two javelins on the left and right to pass by him. He held the shield of his left arm diagonally in front of him and saw The javelin slipped over the shield, deflected its path, and flew to the other side.

Chapter 89 Soul-sucking

Ten meters!

The monster stared at Zhang Jing with a pair of red eyes. It roared low, the sound was hoarse and sharp, like the noise caused by scraping metal. It exerted force on its legs and rushed towards Zhang Jing.

Zhang Jing did not dodge, and faced him with his sword. At the moment when the two sides were about to collide, Zhang Jing's figure swayed, moved two bodies away, and drew his sword!The long sword swung flatly from the monster's knee joint...

A person and a monster passed by each other in an instant. At the same time, there was a dull sound of bones breaking and a piercing scream. However, the monster was like a car whose tires suddenly flew out while driving at high speed. He rolled violently and hit a big tree...

The monster was also ferocious. It broke a leg and lost its balance at the same time. It rolled over and hit a big tree nearby, but it did not show any weakness at all. It struggled and dragged the broken leg, roaring, and mouthed blood. It kept spewing out a fishy smell.

"Pfft..." Another muffled sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh came from Zhang Jing. The moment the monster tried to get up, he had already ducked behind it, and the sword in his hand was fiercely Stab it behind the eye...

This monster showed the characteristics of rough skin and thick flesh. After being hit hard by the sword, it didn't die. It just looked more angry. With a roar, it took another step forward. It kicked the ground with one leg and stumbled its body. He faced Zhang Jing again, struggling forward crazily, opening his big mouth like a trapped beast trying to bite him...

However, in Zhang Jing's eyes, such speed was not deterrent at all. He took two diagonal steps and swung to his side again, raised his long sword high, and then slashed down with a fierce slash!

After a scream, a terrifying cut appeared on the side of the monster's head, almost cutting off half of its head.Then I saw the monster struggling twice like crazy, and finally fell down weakly, twitching slightly...

With golden flames flashing in his eyes, Zhang Jing looked around vigilantly and found nothing abnormal. Then he vibrated the long sword in his hand, shook off the liquid on it, and put it on the grass beside him. He wiped it and then put away his sword and arm shield.

At this moment, a blurry white shadow suddenly floated up from the monster, vaguely showing the image of the monster, and quickly threw it towards Zhang Jing. This sudden change shocked Zhang Jing, who thought there was another one. Something changed, and he took a step back like an electric shock, trying to avoid the white shadow, but the white shadow turned in the air as if guided, then threw it towards Zhang Jing, and finally disappeared into Zhang Jing's chest.

Shocked, Zhang Jing hurriedly reached out and groped around on his body, but after a few seconds passed, nothing changed.

At this time, Zhang Jing's heart moved slightly. He groped in the inner pocket on his chest and took out a small pot. It was indeed the "Demon Refining Pot". Because of its importance, it was always carried by him. This time too He was brought here together.

What makes Zhang Jing happy is that the amount of spiritual liquid in the "Demon Refining Pot" (the name Zhang Jing gave it) is only about a mouthful. Now, he can confirm that the spiritual liquid inside has increased. Although it was not much, only about half a mouthful, it still made him very happy, which meant that he had found a way to increase the spiritual liquid.

Looking back now, Zhang Jing realized that the white shadow just now seemed to be the soul of the monster.This means that the "Demon Refining Pot" seems to be able to absorb the souls of dead monsters and refine them into spiritual liquid.

After putting away the "Demon Refining Pot", the backpack was abandoned in the grass more than ten meters away. Zhang Jing walked over, picked it up, and put it on his back again.After that, he searched around again and quickly found the scroll.

The time travel just now has proved his suspicion that this scroll has the same function as the "Lishan Cave Heaven" jade medal in his hand.However, when Zhang Jing probed into his spiritual thoughts again, he discovered the difference between the two. This scroll could not help him return directly.

If the "Lishan Cave Tianyu Tablet" is compared to a round-trip ticket, then this scroll now seems to be a one-way ticket, and how to return requires Zhang Jing to find other ways.

Even so, Zhang Jing was not very nervous. He opened the scroll again thoughtfully and looked at it. Everything looked the same as what he had seen before, but with a little more difference.That is, a small blue light spot appeared on the lower right side of the scroll. This light spot is currently stationary on the scroll.

Zhang Jing thought for a while and had a possible guess in his mind. The things drawn on this scroll looked like a map. If this is really the case, then the location of the flashing blue light spot at this time is very likely to be own location.This is like the positioning of a satellite navigation system, and it is not difficult to confirm this. Just travel in a fixed direction and then observe whether the blue dot is making corresponding movements.

Zhang Jing walked to the two "javelins" stuck on the tree trunks nearby. These "javelins" were brown in color and were about the same length as ordinary eyebrow sticks. The texture was somewhat similar to bone, and the sharp heads were integrated with the spear body. Zhang Jing forcefully pulled out one of the "javelins" and weighed it in his hand. He felt that he could use it as a long-range weapon.

He walked back to the monster. At this time, the monster was completely frozen on the ground. This was the first time Zhang Jing faced a monster other than the resentful spirit. He looked up and down, then reached out to push away the monster's "head" or Talking about the soft hair covering the back, I discovered that there were several rows of honeycomb-like holes on the monster's back. It seemed that those "javelins" were shot from this point.

In addition, Zhang Jing also found some ulcer-like wounds on the monster's body. There were several wounds on the monster's body, exuding a rotten smell, which made him frown.

After thinking about it, Zhang Jing summoned the wish book and made a wish:

"I wish that I will have good luck in my next journey in this world."

When the black font appeared, confirming that the wish had been successful, he took back the wishing book. Now that there were enough wishing points, he felt that if he added a layer of protection to himself, he might get a surprise.
