Chapter 142: The Strange Heart Refining River
To say that the gang with the largest number of people in the world is by no means the Corpse Refining Gate, not the Demon Gate, nor the Eight Major Forces, but the Beggar Gang. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In this world, the beggars are not a first-class force. After all, people with strong martial arts will either live in seclusion, or set up their own sects, or go to other sects to enjoy high salaries.
How many capable people are willing to wear torn clothes every day, sleep in broken temples, and wear a few broken bags around their waists to show their identity?
However, it is undeniable that the beggar gang is not a first-class force. However, due to its large number of people and its ability to inquire about news, it is definitely the top in the world.
Tang Fengyue couldn't help but wonder, with the help of the beggars' strength, could he get the whereabouts of the heart refining stones? He was a doer, and he quickly found the two beggars.
Fortunately, these two people happened to be disciples of the Beggar Gang.
"Shaoxia, the news is a business, do you know the rules?"
A beggar of a slightly older grade prompted.
Tang Fengyue smiled, took out a silver ticket with a face value of one hundred taels, handed it to the beggar who asked him, and immediately looked at the two beggars straight.
The money banks in Sanssouci Valley are all over the Great Zhou Kingdom. And the disciples of Sanssouci Valley who roam the rivers and lakes, each of them has an independent account and can receive money from various banks. Tang Fengyue never worries about money.
"Shaoxia, I'll take you to meet the helmsman of our Xuzhou rudder. ”
Tang Fengyue followed the two beggars to a dilapidated courtyard. Entering the door, the two beggars said to the beggar in the courtyard, and entered the central hall.
After a while, Tang Fengyue was led into the lobby.
"Shaoxia is so generous, I don't know what news you want to ask?"
Zhao Youde, the helmsman of Xuzhou, smiled politely. As soon as he made a move, it was a hundred taels, and this rich man was a big customer.
Tang Fengyue said: "Please help me find something called Heart Refining Stone, this thing is in Xuzhou City, and the price is not a problem after finding it." ”
Although Zhao Youde is dressed in rags and has a sloppy image, his eyes are clear. For such a person, it is better to get straight to the point.
"Although I don't know what the heart refining stone is, but just Chong Gongzi's happy words, even if I, Zhao Youde, turn over the ground of Xuzhou City, I will definitely help Gongzi find it. ”
Tang Fengyue took out five hundred taels of silver and put it on the table: "This is a deposit." ”
Zhao Youde's eyes lit up. Five hundred taels of silver, more than the sum of his earnings in the last six months.
If Zhao Youde still had reservations at the beginning, he had already made up his mind at this moment and tried all means to find the heart refining stone.
That night, all the rudders of the Xuzhou City Beggars Gang went out and began to quietly investigate and search.
Tang Fengyue didn't know all this. When he returned to the inn, he began to sit cross-legged and cultivate, forgetting about things and me.
In a blink of an eye, two days passed.
At this time, Tang Fengyue felt that a bottleneck in his body had loosened a little. This is the bottleneck of the middle stage of the Zhou Tian Realm, as long as you break through it, you can smoothly enter the late stage of the Zhou Tian Realm.
However, it is said to be loose, and it is not so easy to break through.
To break through as a martial artist, it is necessary to improve the spirit and spirit in an all-round way, and cooperate with the internal force to break the bottleneck in one fell swoop. If you fail once, you will hurt yourself and even leave hidden dangers for the future.
Tang Fengyue estimated that with his current state, if he wanted to successfully break through to the late stage of Zhou Tian Realm, he was afraid that it would take half a year.
"Half a year, I can't wait that long. ”
In the third-level pill area of the beauty system, there is a Breaking Yuan Pill that can accelerate the circulation of internal force and greatly increase the probability of breaking through the bottleneck.
However, if you want to exchange for Broken Yuan Dan, you need two hundred and twelve points.
Tang Fengyue currently only has one hundred and seventy-two points, which is not enough at all. But if Su Qiaoqiao can be cured and the system task can be completed, then the bonus points alone will be enough.
"Heart Refining Stone, where the hell are you?"
While I was thinking, there was a knock on the door.
Tang Fengyue opened the door, and it turned out to be the older beggar who led him to Xuzhou three days ago.
Seeing Tang Fengyue, Zhao Quan smiled and said, "Xiao Shaoxia, the heart refining stone is a bit eyebrow-raising. ”
The beggars helped Xuzhou to divide the rudder.
Zhao was ashamed that he had launched the beggar gang in the past few days, and he had not heard the specific whereabouts of the heart refining stone. ”
Hearing Zhao Youde's words, Tang Fengyue was disappointed. Even the beggars can't help it, and it's even more embarrassing to catch the blind alone.
Zhao Youde changed his words and said, "But it's not all without gains. According to the disciples in the east of the city, there is a river outside the city of Xuzhou. According to a local old man who is the only surviving fruit, this river was called Lianxin River hundreds of years ago. ”
Tang Fengyue's eyes lit up.
Could it be related to the Heart Refining Stone?
"Lord Zhao, this is a thousand taels, you have worked hard for the past few days. Tang Fengyue put down a thousand taels of silver tickets.
Zhao Youde patted his chest: "Xiao Shaoxia is too polite! Zhao will order the disciples in the gang to continue to investigate and search." As soon as there is news, you will be notified immediately. ”
Tang Fengyue, under the leadership of the disciples in the east of the city, came to a small river in the suburbs with a green mountain at its back.
"Xiao Shaoxia, this place is the Heart Refining River. But the old man couldn't speak clearly, and he was talking some nonsense, and I didn't know if what he said was true or not. ”
Tang Fengyue asked casually, "Why are you talking nonsense?"
The old man said that this river was formed hundreds of years ago by an extraterrestrial meteorite falling on this place. He also said that by following this river, you can discover a big secret that shocks the sky. ”
The disciple in the east of the city looked bizarre: "What's even more outrageous is that the old man also said that at the end of this river, there is a withered old man. He sat there when he was a child, and when he was seventy or eighty years old, he sat like that, just as he did then. ”
The Chengdong disciple sneered and said, "Xiao Shaoxia, you say it's outrageous?"
Tang Fengyue smiled.
As a martial artist cultivates, the essence in his body will continue to increase, and his lifespan will also be extended. Generally speaking, as long as the innate master is not killed, he can live to be ninety years old.
And when he arrived at the Sanhua Realm, the essence of life was improved again, and it was easy to live to be one hundred and ten years old.
But no matter what, judging from the nearly 100-year history of martial arts, it seems that there are very few people who live past one hundred and fifty years old.
But not necessarily, the corpse king and the chairman of the Holy Water Palace, Tianyi, was still in the prime of life at the age of 100, but because they killed each other, they fell into the martial arts.
Among the four great families, the Nan'an Wei family heard that there was also a master of the king list a hundred years ago, but I don't know if he is dead now.
It's no wonder that this Chengdong disciple of the beggar gang laughed at the old man. According to what the old man said, isn't the old man who has been sitting close to the limit of the human lifespan of nearly a hundred years in martial arts?
The two went to find the old man. But surprisingly, the old man was gone.
"How can this be? Yesterday there was a thatched house here, how could it be gone?"
The disciple in the east of the city looked confused, and suddenly said in horror: "Xiao Shaoxia, I'm afraid I've met a ghost." At this moment, I can't even remember the old man's appearance!"
Tang Fengyue didn't look like he was lying, and a trace of abnormality rose in his heart.
According to what this disciple said, he asked all the nearby villagers, but no one had ever said anything about the existence of the Heart Refining River. It stands to reason that these villagers have lived here for generations, even if it was hundreds of years ago, and it should have been passed down to the public.
It seems that from the very beginning, the old man had a strangeness on his body, as if hidden in a layer of fog.
"Xiao Shaoxia, I'm afraid I've encountered something bad. Let's go. ”
Chengdong's disciple's tone trembled.
Tang Fengyue thought for a while and said, "You leave first." I'll stay a little longer. ”
After some persuasion, the disciples in the east of the city saw that Tang Fengyue had made up his mind, and he had no choice, so he had to persuade him to leave quickly after a while, and left first.
On the edge of the bright meadow, a narrow river flowed slowly, and Tang Fengyue stood here, but she did not panic.
"This is the only clue at the moment, and I can't give up easily, no matter what. ”
The system only gives him a month. If he couldn't find the heart refining stone within a month, Tang Fengyue would become a eunuch, which was something he couldn't accept.
Tang Fengyue thought about it, and simply walked up the Heart Refining River.
Didn't the old man say that at the end of the river sat a withered old man who had been like a day for seventy or eighty years?
The Heart Refining River is only a few meters wide, but it is surprisingly long.
The river meanders down from the valley, through the stone wall, and along the ditch wall where the two mountains meet, sometimes left and sometimes right. Whenever Tang Fengyue thought that he was about to reach the end, a new section would always emerge at the next turn.
Unconsciously, it was getting late, and Tang Fengyue had already walked into the mountains.
However, there is still no end in sight to the Heart Refining River.
Tang Fengyue was unwilling to admit defeat, he wanted to see how long this heart refining river was, and no matter how big the difficulty was, it couldn't stop him.
He simply carried the Sky Wind Resistant, and the whole person swept along the Heart Refining River like a violent wind. After a while, he stopped to adjust and continued to run.
In the middle of the night, Tang Fengyue sat alone and practiced, continuing this unknown journey during the day.
In this way, I have been running for five days with the Sky Wind Technique, but I still haven't reached the end of the Heart Refining River.
Tang Fengyue was a little confused.
With the speed at which he is running the Sky Wind Trick with all his might, counting the rest time, he has walked a distance of 10,000 or 20,000 miles in the past three days, how can there be such a long river?!
Tang Fengyue felt a little uneasy in her heart, and after walking for another day, she still didn't see the end of the legend.
"Is it a trap?"
Tang Fengyue looked at the surrounding mountains, he vaguely saw it a few days ago, and he seemed to have come around?!
That's a little weird. Even though the Lianxin River is a circular river, the grassland that was used as a starting point before has never been seen again.
Tang Fengyue walked back along the road she had come. But what was even stranger was that he walked back to the meadow.
"Xiao Shaoxia, where did these **** go?" The Chengdong disciple ran over.
Tang Fengyue settled down and said with a smile: "Little brother, how about you accompany me for a while?"
The two walked back along the river.
The Chengdong disciple smiled: "Xiao Shaoxia, don't you really want to go to the so-called end to see?"
Soon, Tang Fengyue froze.
Because the two of them had only walked for less than half an hour, a stone wall dozens of feet high in front of them blocked the way to the river, which should be the end.
It can be seen that Tang Fengyue walked alone just now, obviously there is no such stone wall!
