Rise of Nongmen
Chapter 32
After finding all the strange stones they could find in the open air, Xiao Jinyan left the place immediately without stopping for a moment, and continued to carry out patrol missions with his subordinates.
That night, Xiao Jinyan approached the Marquis of Qing'an again.
"Father, the situation over there is getting more and more serious, and it must be dealt with as soon as possible." Xiao Jinyan said solemnly as he put several jade boxes containing foreign stones, which were actually contaminated jade, on the case table.
"Be specific."
Xiao Jinyan explained the situation in a few words, and finally said: "The source of the jade was not found. I sent people to dig the ground at various points in the abnormal place, but nothing was found."
This matter was too weird, so the Marquis of Qing'an decided to lead a team to investigate it himself tomorrow.
After walking around for a while, Hou Qing'an's face sank like water, he thought for a long time, and immediately sent someone to invite Zen Master Qingyuan.
What Xiao Jinyan said was right, the severity of the matter exceeded Qing'an Hou's estimate.
Yesterday Xiao Jinyan and his subordinates had swept through the anomalous area. Even if there were omissions, there should not be many strange stones, but this is not the case.
Today, the Marquis of Qing'an led a team to go there, and still got back a lot of strange stones, but they couldn't find the source.
Going on like this is not an option, after repeated actions, the jade box is almost exhausted, and if there are more times, I am afraid that there will be no place to put the strange stone.
After Zen Master Qingyuan arrived, the Marquis of Qing'an immediately sent someone to take him to the abnormal area.
Don't bother the two masters with one thing, this task is handed over to Xiao Jinyan.
The destination is not far from Shanyuguan, and they will arrive soon on horseback. As soon as Zen Master Qingyuan stepped into the edge of the abnormal area, his face was no longer peaceful, and he looked a little serious.
Xiao Jinyan tilted her head: "Master..."
Zen Master Qingyuan didn't respond immediately, he rode his horse around the abnormal area, looked up at the mountain beside him, squinted his eyes carefully, pointed to the place where he had inserted a branch before, and said, "Benefactor Xiao, Yin The Qi should come from there, but this can't explain the frequent occurrence of Yishi, go to the mountain and have a look."
Everyone immediately moved their positions.
The mountain is not high, but it is a bit steep. This difficulty is not worth mentioning for well-trained officers and soldiers.The same goes for Zen Master Qingyuan, regardless of his age, his body is well maintained, not much inferior to Xiao Jinyan and the others.
Everyone climbed up all the way, and they didn't feel anything strange. Xiao Jinyan and the others didn't feel anything wrong when they reached the top of the mountain, but Zen Master Qingyuan suddenly changed his face, and walked to the other side of the mountain first, and everyone hurriedly followed.
After a few breaths, some people in the team sensed something was wrong one after another, and after walking forward for a while, everyone noticed something was wrong.The crowd did not stop and continued to follow Zen Master Qingyuan.
It's just that this situation didn't last long, but Zen Master Qingyuan stopped at a few tens of feet deep, and said, "All benefactors, please stop, and I will look forward."
If the cold aura in the valley is just uncomfortable, and a short stay will not cause harm to people, then the aura here is already so solid that it makes people feel cold.
In fact, without Zen Master Qingyuan's reminder, Xiao Jinyan and the others had the urge to go back. When they got here, not to mention the biting coldness, they even started to move slowly.
Xiao Jinyan knew she was weak, so she didn't try to be brave, so she took a few steps back with her men and reminded: "Master, be careful."
"Thank you, Master Xiao, for your kindness. The poor monk will save me." Zen Master Qingyuan clasped his hands together and thanked him. Under the admiring eyes of everyone, he walked forward against the strong Yin energy.
After a while, Zen Master Qingyuan returned the same way, with an apology on his face: "The poor monk's cultivation is not enough, and he has entrusted him with the trust of Lord Marquis."
Xiao Jinyan's heart trembled. Although he didn't see the source, he could imagine the seriousness of the matter from what he saw.
As far as the eye can see, there are piles of different stones all over the mountains and fields, and there is a hole beside each pile, which looks like it was dug by underground creatures such as mountain rabbits and mice.
Strangely, all the holes were abandoned, and Xiao Jinyan led people to dig the holes on the outside, and the cold breath immediately became thicker, and when he saw it, he immediately covered it.
The source was found, and the strange rocks scattered all over the valley still can't be explained. Someone couldn't have thrown them deliberately, right? Who is so full to do such a shameless thing?
Everyone returned the same way, Zen Master Qingyuan reminded: "Yin Qi entering the body is harmful to the body, go back and bask in the sun more, and don't get close to women for the time being."
Everyone: "..." The barracks are all big men, even if they want to, the conditions are not allowed, Zen Master Qingyuan, do you think too much?
Standing on the top of the mountain again, it was still the same as before, and there was no abnormal aura. Xiao Jinyan refused to give up and ordered the team to disperse and check.
After a blanket search, Xiao Jinyan finally found the problem. There was a small spring on another nearby mountain.
The strange thing is that the spring water does not leak out, it seems that there is a dark river to absorb all the spring water, not only that, even the strange aura is covered up.
Xiao Jinyan's eyes lit up, but Zen Master Qingyuan shook his head after inspecting it: "It can only cover up the breath, it cannot dissolve it."
Back at the barracks, Xiao Jinyan reported the truth, and the Marquis of Qing'an personally received Zen Master Qingyuan.
Xiao Jinyan didn't know what the two of them said privately, but only knew that the Marquis of Qing'an sent troops with Yishi to Xijing to send an urgent message that day.
Half a month later, the imperial court sent back an order to recruit capable people and strangers, and then monks and priests entered Zhenbei Mansion one after another.
Jinmin County is on the edge of Zhenbei Mansion. After the imperial court's recruitment order was issued, it spread throughout the county overnight. Naturally, the Ye family also heard about it, but they didn't have that ability and only listened to strange people and strange things.
When Ye Chen found out, it was already more than half a month later, at this time the cold winter was approaching, and autumn was deeply felt.
"Uncle, I'm leaving for a while, and I'll ask you to take care of the family." Ye Chen solemnly entrusted.
Winter is coming, there are not many things going on in Beihuang, the manor has not been completed yet, the conditions are not as good as those in the city, so Ye Ningren was transferred back.
"Where are you going?" Ye Ningren asked subconsciously.
Ye Chen didn't hide anything: "Zhenbei Mansion."
"What are you going there for?" As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Ye Ningren came to his senses, pointing at Ye Chen and shaking the rope, "You don't want to answer the recruiting order, do you?"
"Ah."
Ye Ningren was stunned, and hesitated for a while before saying: "So many experts can't solve the problem, where do you come from?"
Ye Chen's eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a joking tone: "The immortal taught me in the dream. When I fell down the mountain and was injured and had a high fever, the immortal saw that I was destined to be with him, so he taught me everything he had learned. .”
Ye Ningren opened his mouth wide, his face full of disbelief, and he couldn't make a sentence: "Really, really? Didn't you lie to me?"
Ye Chen raised his eyebrows, he just said something casually, but he didn't expect Ye Ningren to be so convinced.It was only then that he remembered that gods and ghosts are very revered here, and whenever there is something that he can't understand, he will rely on it. Fortune tellers are very popular here. Weddings and funerals, as long as there are some conditions, you have to ask for luck first.
Ye Chen immediately followed the trend, and said with a serious face: "Uncle, how could my nephew make fun of this matter, that is disrespectful to the gods, and will be struck by lightning."
Rumbling, there was a muffled sound in the distance.
Ye Chen: "..."
Such a coincidence?Don't tell him that there are gods in this world.Ye Chen still doesn't believe it. He has experienced the last days. He has nothing to be afraid of thunder. The so-called "fairy" is just a higher level of existence than ordinary people. As long as the mysterious veil in the middle is removed, ordinary people will be the same He can pluck the stars with one hand and knock down the gods.
Otherwise, Ye Ningren was taken aback. Hearing the rumble of thunder in the distance, but none of them landed on Ye Chen, his eyes were full of suspicion, and he didn't understand what God meant, whether to make him believe it or not.
In the end, according to his own understanding, Ye Ningren thought that since Ye Chen was fine, he was telling the truth, and the thunder was just a warning from God not to act recklessly, and immediately said with a pale face: "Xiaochen, then you go yourself, I will take care of you at home, Remember to talk less and watch more."
Ye Chen naturally had no answer.
On that day, Ye Chen arranged the household affairs, and the next day, he drove away with two Zhuang Ding.
Zhenbei Mansion is only a few hundred miles away from Jinmin County. Shanyuguan is at the northernmost end of Zhenbei Mansion. There are horses for transportation. Ye Chen and his party will arrive within a few days.
At this time, Zhenbei Mansion, which was originally more prosperous than Jinmin County, was even more lively.Outsiders can be seen everywhere on the street, there are eminent monks and Taoist priests, and more people come to join in the fun, such as fortune tellers that are common in the streets and alleys.
Shanyuguan is an important place on the frontier, where idlers stop, no one recommends it, the reputation is not enough, outsiders can't even get in the door, even if there is an urgent need for capable people and strangers to solve the problem, the gate is very strict, every few days Only a group of people whose identities have been verified are allowed to enter.
Ye Chen came relatively late. Before him, there were three groups of people who came out successively, and everyone tried their best. The effect cannot be said to be non-existent, but the problem has not been completely solved, and it has become more and more serious. If you can solve the problem, you will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold.
This is a pleasant surprise.
Before coming here, Ye Chen only knew that there was a problem with a jade mine outside Shanyuguan, and it seemed to be contaminated by the filthy atmosphere. With the emergence of the jade mine, the filthy aura became visible.After listening to the gossip for a day, he realized that things were reversed. It was not the jade mine that brought out the filthy smell, but the filthy breath that soared to the sky and brought the jade mine out.
This time, Ye Chen also encountered difficulties. The jade mine problem was easy to talk about, and he couldn't solve the dirty smell for a while.But now that we've all arrived here, it's too late to repent. We can't just leave empty-handed without even seeing it.
As the saying goes, hearing is believing, seeing is believing, Ye Chen decided to go for it.
Two days later, it will be the time for the fourth batch of outsiders to enter the abnormal area. Ye Chen finished his registration and handed over a greeting card to the gate of Qing'anhou's mansion. He didn't make any extra moves and waited patiently at the inn.
Ye Chen's identity was fine, and when the time came, he followed a group of outsiders to Shanyuguan.He was dressed in cotton and short brown, and he should have been inconspicuous, but he was very eye-catching among this group of people.
Scholars from other places are naturally different from ordinary people, whether they wear monk robes or Taoist robes, no matter how bad they are, they still have to look like an outsider, but Ye Chen is dressed so ordinary, it is difficult not to be noticed.
Looking at the corners of Ye Chen's mouth when people glanced over from time to time, the corners of Ye Chen's mouth twitched slightly.Well, it's not easy to do this job, next time he has to order a cassock similar to a Taoist robe in advance, so as not to be so out of place.
Shanyuguan is very important, and the guard, Marquis Qing'an, did not open it to outsiders. Therefore, a group of outsiders failed to stay in Shanyuguan, and passed through it as soon as they reached the pass.
A temporary garrison was built outside the pass for outsiders to rest. The first few batches who did not leave on the spot were all placed here, guarded by officers and soldiers, and could not act without authorization.
After leaving the customs, Ye Chen and the others were not taken to inspect the scene immediately, but entered the temporary station to communicate with the previous groups of people, lest they rush in without knowing the situation and waste time in vain.
As soon as he entered, Ye Chen learned the news that the filthy air from outside was actually a kind of negative energy in his cognition. Long-term exposure to this negative energy or being in a negative energy field is harmful to the body. Mine is just incidental, if the source of negative energy is not resolved, the matter will not end.
The goal of Ye Chen's trip is the jade mine. Although the treatment of the jade mine will treat the symptoms rather than the root cause, the negative energy contained in the jade veins should not be underestimated. If this can be solved perfectly, the negative energy field will inevitably weaken and expand outward. When it can be slowed down, the credit is not small.
After listening to the precautions, Ye Chen received an amulet. The effect was weak, but it was better than nothing, and he took it against his will.Others may not be so. Some people who think highly of themselves don't even take a look, and just walk away. They must have better self-defense weapons in their hands.
Seeing that a group of people from outside the area were ready to stop, the leading soldiers didn't even say a word of nonsense, and directly led the large army to the abnormal area.
More than a month has passed, and the scope of the anomalous area has expanded a lot. When Xiao Jinyan discovered it, it was still seven or eight miles away from Shanyuguan, but now he can feel a chilly aura within five miles. At this speed, it won't take long , it will cover Shanyuguan, and things will be troublesome at that time. No wonder the Marquis of Qing'an is in a hurry, and the imperial court issued the recruitment order with such great fanfare.
After arriving at the place, Ye Chen was instructed to move freely within the specified range, and immediately left the large army, let go of his perception, and followed the place where negative energy was dense.
The officially issued amulet took effect very quickly, but unfortunately, it was a little weak, and before reaching the target location, the amulet lost its effect and turned into a pile of powder and scattered.
Rao Ye Chen was well-informed and also found it miraculous.The power system he experienced in the last days is supernatural powers, and spells and so on only exist in legends. He originally thought that there was no magical power in this world, but it turned out that he was generalizing, but he had no chance to touch it.Although the power is very weak so far, the root cause is still there. The big change in the lucky mall may represent the recovery of the original power system.
After the amulet expired, Ye Chen tried to operate his breath according to the operation of the supernatural power, but the positive energy was not attracted, but the negative energy rushed to him.He stopped quickly, but his body still shivered. Ye Chen hurriedly expelled it from his body according to the method of casting the power, and as expected, he succeeded.
After this trial, Ye Chen had a pretty good idea.No matter whether absorbing and operating this kind of negative energy according to the supernatural cultivation method will cause sequelae, it is certain that this cold breath can be used by people, but it is difficult for ordinary people to do it, at least Ye Chen avoids it.
But he is not afraid, as long as the negative energy is not so strong that it hinders his actions, Ye Chen can disperse it outside his body to alleviate the impact.
The edge of the abnormal area is very clean, as if it has been plowed by someone, and not a single foreign stone can be seen. After passing the amulet invalidation boundary, fish that escaped the net gradually began to appear.
Ye Chen picked up all the jade stones he encountered along the way and put them into the jade box. He secretly held a small piece and tried it. After being ingested by the Lucky Mall, it turned into fine powder and scattered into the air, without any other aura escaping. .
The corner of Ye Chen's mouth raised. His guess was indeed correct. The Unowned Jade can be collected by the Lucky Mall, but not in the shop. It doesn't even give an appraisal, and he needs to make his own judgment.
The most important thing is that the chilly aura infecting jade is indeed a kind of energy, and Yuanyu is the benchmark for measuring the energy of jade. As long as it is the energy contained in jade, no matter what kind of energy it is, Lucky Mall will accept it. It is also more valuable than ordinary jade of the same grade, it has an extra energy, doesn't it?
The first piece of jade, Ye Chen, was only concerned with converting Lucky Mall into Yuanyu, and didn't pay attention to anything else. He paid attention to the second piece of jade. Soon, he learned from Lucky Mall that this kind of jade that contains negative energy is called Yin. Lingyu.
The energy contained in it is very pure. It is formed by the gathering of Yin Qi from heaven and earth. After being absorbed and transformed by jade, it no longer hurts people so much, but Yin Qi is Yin Qi after all. It is still a negative energy that is harmful to the human body.
As soon as Ye Chen felt unwell, he expelled the Yin Qi that had invaded his body out of his body. This cycle went on and on, and before he knew it, he was already close to the center of the negative energy field.At this time, there were only a few people around, and the youngest one seemed to be forty or fifty.
Seeing that a young man who was no more than twenty years old was at the same level as them, several people who had attained the Tao had complicated expressions and looked towards Ye Chen one after another.
Being stared at so fiercely, even if Ye Chen was very nervous, he would not fail to notice it, not to mention his keen perception, the moment everyone turned their gazes to him, he noticed it, and naturally looked back.
The outsiders were shocked, their sharp senses really had two brushes, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they didn't show it at all on their faces, and smiled at Ye Chen to show that they didn't have any malicious intentions.
The episode ended peacefully.
There are obvious traces of excavation in the center of the abnormal area, but for some reason, it was buried and compacted with earth and rocks, so I have to ask someone later.
The leading soldiers did not stop here, and let only a few outsiders walk around for a while before continuing to move forward.
Ye Chen was surprised, could it be that there is more than one place like this?
As expected, the area covered by negative energy in the valley is just a pediatric area, and the mountain forest is the real Shura field.
Standing on the top of the mountain, without getting close, Ye Chen could see the almost condensed yin energy on the opposite mountain.
There were a few eminent monks chanting sutras, and the Taoist priests were forming a formation. The negative energy dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye. Unfortunately, more gushed out. This effort was in vain, but no one complained, and they continued to chant sutras , Arranging the array, without wasting a little time, even the fine sweat on the forehead has no time to pay attention.
A trace of respect rose from the bottom of Ye Chen's heart, no matter whether they came here for fame or profit, it was already commendable for them to risk their bodies being damaged.
Seeing such scenes, even though Ye Chen was used to the darkness, a trace of passion surged in his heart. He couldn't do anything else, and he could easily solve Yin Lingyu.
Ye Chen is alone now, and the two Zhuang Ding who came with him have long been unable to withstand the invasion of Yin Qi, and as the large army retreated to the temporary station, he needed manpower to collect the exposed jade mines, so he took the lead The team captain said: "I have a way to deal with the jade mine."
After saying that, Ye Chen took out a piece of Yin Lingyu from the jade box, turned it into Yuanyu and took it into the Lucky Mall in public.With a snap of his fingers, a piece of untreated rough jade, the outer skin became a pile of pieces, and the jade in the middle turned into powder.
Everyone who saw this scene almost stared out of their sockets, and then gasped.The young general who led the team didn't think much of it, and the eyes of a few outsiders with real skills flashed in horror. They had never heard of this move, let alone witnessed it with their own eyes.
After regaining consciousness, someone stepped forward to make a close relationship: "My little friend, can I tell you your name?"
"Ye Chen." There's nothing to hide, he doesn't intend to put himself too high, but he won't give in at will.He doesn't know much about the hidden powers of this world, and making friends with these lowly and well-known people will help him break into the inside, saving him from being unable to find the door like before, "What's the name of the master?"
"Little friend is absurd, just ask me to explain it."
Ye Chen was a good student, and he was called Master Daoyi, and the two quickly became acquainted.
After chatting for a few words, Daoyi hesitated for a while, and asked, "Who is Ye Xiaoyou's teacher?"
"No school, no sect, I accidentally got advice from an immortal master."
"Little friend is really amazing, mastering such a powerful technique at such an age, the poor are willing to bow down."
"Master Daoyi is humble. The qi transformation technique you just performed is called strong. They should send someone to pick you up soon." Ye Chen praised.
The two just ignored the others present and complimented each other, which made the rest of them twitch.
Those who can get here without forcing themselves are all capable people, who have a head and face in their respective territories, and are used to putting on airs. It's not easy to let go. Even if someone looks at Ye Chen with admiration, there are not many who can take the initiative to make friends with him like a Taoist. One, no, actually it was just one person, the others had different expressions, but most of them were listening to their conversation.
What Ye Chen said was correct, Dao Yi's ability was very suitable for this place, and he was quickly asked to leave, and the rest were also arranged in suitable positions. Ye Chen was left alone to deal with Yin Lingyu.
There is no need for Ye Chen to do such an errand as collecting jade. The negative energy on the mountain where he is located does not dissipate much, and ordinary soldiers will not be affected by it.
Lead the young general to give an order, bypass the negative energy field area of the valley, and the officers and soldiers who are on standby here will start to search for jade around Ye Chen's location, and if they find a certain amount, they will gather around Ye Chen. responsible for destruction.
At first the officers and soldiers didn't believe it, they just acted according to the order. When they saw the pieces of jade turned into powder, and the cold atmosphere accumulated due to the large number of jades also dissipated, all of them stared wide-eyed. Now, they Believe it or not.
Seeing such outstanding results, the officers and soldiers worked more vigorously, as if they were only working to complete the task just now.
After receiving a report from the front that someone from outside could dispose of the jade mine contaminated by the filthy atmosphere, the Marquis of Qing'an's eyes lit up, and he immediately sent Xiao Jinyan to the jade disposal place with the jade he had collected earlier.
"Huh, why is it him?" Before reaching the top of the mountain, Xiao Jinyan saw Ye Chen standing on the top of the mountain, his clothes fluttering due to the mountain wind. It was a little darker when I saw it, and nothing else changed, and I still couldn't see people if I didn't pay attention. Once it came into view, it was easy to become the focus.
Ye Chen didn't expect to run into Xiao Yanjin here. Not long after returning to Jinmin County, he received news from Xiao Jinyan that he had left Xijing and entered the Zhenbei Prefecture military camp.
The problem is that the Zhenbei Prefecture is not limited to just one important military area in Shanyuguan. As the guard of the Zhenbei Prefecture, the Marquis of Qing'an is guarding the entire border of Zhenbei Prefecture, not just Shanyuguan.
Ye Chen heard that the Marquis of Qing'an was guarding this place, so Xiao Jinyan should be transferred to other places. He didn't expect that the Marquis of Qing'an would value Xiao Jinyan's eldest son so much, and he would put it under his nose. I'm afraid that when Xiao Jinyan is capable enough, Only the Marquis of Qing'an would send him to another pass. It seems that the Marquis of Qing'an didn't want Xiao Jinyan to make any mistakes.
"Lieutenant Xiao, I'm sorry." Ye Chen didn't show too much, just greeted like an ordinary military officer.
Xiao Jinyan treated him in the same way, except that out of the corner of his eye, he would glance towards Ye Chen intentionally or unintentionally, paying more attention to him than others.
Those who don't know it can't detect it. Ye Chen has a keen sense and quickly catches the line of sight, but he doesn't expose it, so he pretends not to know.
Seeing Ye Chen handle the jade mine with ease, Xiao Jinyan had a whim, and asked in a low voice: "Can you get rid of the Yin Qi that invaded the body?"
Ye Chen raised his head when he heard the words: "There are so many masters here, do you need me?"
"The effect is too slow." Xiao Jinyan's heart moved, and he didn't deny that he really knew how to say that. A strangeness flashed in his heart, and his curiosity gradually arose.He even knows alchemy, what else does this person not know?
"I'll look back, but I don't guarantee it will work." Ye Chen replied a little conservatively.
"Just do your best." Xiao Jinyan didn't push her every step of the way, and immediately led the team back after getting a satisfactory answer.He had to go back and tell the Marquis of Qing'an the news, and then arrange for the soldiers who were seriously invaded by Yin Qi to wait in the temporary station outside the pass, and try to get medical treatment as soon as Ye Chen came back.
As the yin qi continues to permeate, many officers and soldiers performing tasks in this area have been attacked by yin qi to varying degrees. Slight exposure to the sun will allow them to adjust themselves, but heavy ones will not. Fortunately, no one has yet It was so critical that it caused a vicious infection, but the morale of the army was still stable, and no riots were caused.
It's just that seeing those who are in a serious situation are cold all over, their faces are turning blue, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly weakened. From the guards to the pawns at the Shanyu Pass, everyone feels chills from the bottom of their hearts.
Ye Chen destroyed the Yin Lingyu very quickly, no matter how much it was, as long as it was within reach, it would turn into a pile of gravel powder in the blink of an eye, and it would be the same in another place.
This cycle went on and on, until the officers and soldiers put all the jade they could collect in front of Ye Chen and let him destroy it, it only took half a day, and then they needed to use professional miners, nothing happened to them, and the officers and soldiers returned to the team one after another.
Ye Chen also returned, and before he could discuss the matter with Xiao Jinyan, the other party brought a group of officers and soldiers who had been invaded by Yin Qi to wait for him at the temporary station.
Ye Chen glanced at Xiao Jinyan. This person really doesn't know what politeness is. He didn't even have time to drink his saliva, so he was arrested as a young man. If he has a bad temper, wouldn't he cause trouble?
Thinking about it this way, Ye Chen feels very good about himself, it seems that he is also a "kind person".However, just following Xiao Jinyan's wishes, why did he feel something was wrong?
Thinking of this, Ye Chen smiled at Xiao Jinyan: "Lieutenant Xiao, why don't you come first?"
Everyone felt a chill down their spines, and they took a small step back calmly.This master looked at his young age, younger than them, and looked harmless, why did he smile so viciously, making people feel chills in the bottom of his heart?Sure enough, a person cannot be judged by his appearance, sea water cannot be measured, a master is a master, and he should not be easily offended.
"No, I'm fine." Xiao Jinyan refused directly, not giving Ye Chen a chance, but his face seemed a little stiff, obviously his heart was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.
How could Ye Chen let Xiao Jinyan go so easily? He has worked hard for a long time, so he still has to earn some interest, right?
The Marquis of Qing'an governed the army rigorously, and all the soldiers were not ostentatious, full of vigor, but it was a pity that all those in front of them were troubled by the invasion of Yin Qi, and their complexion was not very good. Inside, it was Xiao Jinyan who was the most eye-catching and eye-catching, and his demeanor was really good It cannot be cultivated by ordinary people.
But taking advantage is taking advantage, Ye Chen is really not talking nonsense to fool people, Xiao Jinyan does have a faint yin qi lingering on her body, it is estimated that the party was newly infected in the morning, it is very slight, and can be resolved by herself.
Ye Chen didn't have this ability before, it was because he tried to absorb the vitality between heaven and earth according to the operation method of the supernatural power, but it appeared after sucking in a whole body of Yin Qi, even he himself didn't know what was going on, and this kind of power has never appeared in the last days situation.
Xiao Jinyan: "..." This little rascal is sure of him. If he doesn't agree, the other party will most likely give up.
Ye Chen just stood there idly, Guangming was unscrupulously admiring the young man in his prime.
Xiao Jinyan squinted her eyes, obviously she should be disgusted, but there was only a touch of displeasure in her heart.After he figured out the situation, he could afford to let it go, and decided to cut through the mess quickly and end this embarrassing situation as soon as possible. Didn't the officers and soldiers look at him and Ye Chen a little bit wrong?
"What do I need to do?" Xiao Jinyan said expressionlessly.
"Hand out."
Xiao Jinyan froze for a moment, and after realizing it, he simply stretched out his hand in front of Ye Chen.
Ye Chen put away his joking demeanor, and put his hand on Xiao Jinyan's mouth in a serious manner.
Xiao Jinyan wanted to resist subconsciously, but instead of getting out of Ye Chen's control, she was caught even tighter, and she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.This was the first time he confronted Ye Chen. Although it was not a frontal battle, the opponent took the lead, but it was the first time he fell into such a passive situation.
Xiao Jinyan is not the second-generation ancestor or a dude, not to mention summer training and winter training. At least this can be guaranteed without stopping every day. He was taught by the Marquis of Qing'an himself when he was young, and he has excellent talent. Persevere, the skills are quite good, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even generals, they may not be his opponents, but they can't do a single move under Ye Chen's hands.
Xiao Jinyan will not doubt herself because of this, the problem naturally lies with Ye Chen, and she can't help but re-examine this rural boy who at first glance seems to be doing a sacred and important event, but is actually a lot of care.
After a secret contest, Ye Chen won. He was not complacent, and locked his eyes on the opponent's palm to wrist.
Xiao Jinyan practiced martial arts all the year round, her fingers were long and slender, with well-defined joints, but they didn't feel soft at all. On the contrary, they were covered with calluses in several places, the tiger's mouth was the most conspicuous, and Ye Chen could clearly feel the power contained in these hands.
Ye Chen knew that with the strength of Xiao Jinyan's resistance just now, if he hadn't taken the lead and wanted to take down the opponent head-on, it would really take a lot of effort. The Hong Liu and other local hooligans in front of him can be compared.
It's only a matter of a moment, Ye Chen understands that, except for Xiao Jinyan, the person involved, no one will notice it.For this, Ye Chen had nothing to explain, and he didn't want to explain it. Even if the entrusted person was the one in front of him, he didn't think of perfunctory.
Ye Chen collected his mind and focused all his attention on the business in front of him.To be honest, he didn't have much confidence in his heart, after all, apart from himself, he hadn't applied the operation method of the supernatural power to others.
There are no supernatural powers in this world, and the Yin Qi is the strongest here at Shanyuguan. Not surprisingly, when Ye Chen used his supernatural powers, what he absorbed was Yin Qi. His body instinctively wanted to resist, but he suppressed it.
The temporary station is five miles away from the abnormal area, and the Yin Qi in the air is extremely thin. Only after Ye Chen practiced for a week can the concentration of Yin Qi reach the minimum amount that can be drawn out of the body. It entered Xiao Jinyan's body, turned around and then escaped from the other hand.
The moment the yin qi entered the body, Xiao Jinyan felt a coolness flow from his hands, and then spread into his limbs and bones, before disappearing in an instant.For a moment, he had to think that Ye Chen had a grudge against him and wanted to harm him, but before he had any reaction, everything was as if the rain had passed and the sky cleared without leaving a trace.
Ye Chen withdrew his hand: "How do you feel, does your body warm up?"
Xiao Jinyan responded indifferently: "I didn't feel the warmth, but I was almost frozen into ice."
"Hey, why are you so ignorant? Do you know that in order to help you get rid of the remaining Yin Qi in your body, you have to go through it with me first. It's fine if you're not grateful, but you're disgusted and die." Ye Chen lowered his face, full of Face upset.
Xiao Jinyan was taken aback by the words, but then recalled, Ding is Ding Mao or Mao, and he put on a posture and said, "What do you want?"
This person is quite upright, but Ye Chen would be unhappy if he was so disgusted. If it wasn't for the fact that Xiao Jinyan was so good-looking and had a good time working with him, he would definitely leave without saying a word: "Is there anything?" For the extra war horses, give me a few, the horses are the best."
"No." Xiao Jinyan refused without thinking.This person's thinking is really beautiful, it is not easy to train war horses, how can anyone just ask for it?
"Really not?" Ye Chen squinted his eyes, and just stared at Xiao Jinyan with his arms around his chest.
Xiao Jinyan frowned. Ever since he saw this person in the morning, he had a strange feeling. It seemed that this person was obviously different from what he had seen before, a kind of deep intuition.
Suppressing this weird feeling, Xiao Yanjin carefully considered whether the deal proposed by Ye Chen was a good deal, and the result was self-evident.
If it's just the soldiers with problems in front of them, it's not worth it. Xiao Jinyan can wait for them to recover slowly. The key is that if the source of Yin Qi is not resolved for a day, there will only be a lot of soldiers affected by it.
Weighing the pros and cons, Xiao Jinyan quickly made a decision: "Ten horses, at most ten war horses for you, nine ordinary horses before retirement, and one flaming horse."
"Liuyan?" Surprise flashed in Ye Chen's eyes, this doesn't sound like an ordinary horse, could it be a famous horse?How generous is Xiao Jinyan?Ye Chen has reservations.
Xiao Jinyan said coldly: "The horses in the army are not sent outside."
"Then this horse?" Ye Chen decided to be an ignorant person, breaking the casserole and asking the end.
"Brother Blazing."
Ye Chen also wanted to ask which name tag Chi Yan was on, but was stupefied by the invisible black energy emanating from Xiao Jinyan's body.This person doesn't know how to tease him, so it's better not to tease him too hard, lest the other party lose his temper, and the business will be ruined completely, and that would be no fun.
The soldiers around were stunned. Is this the Captain Xiao they are familiar with?There was a hint of admiration in the eyes looking at Ye Chen.
After the entertainment, Ye Chen turned back to the topic: "This is not suitable, go to the edge of the abnormal area."
Without saying a word, Xiao Jinyan got on the horse and showed it with action.
It was agreed, Ye Chen smacked his lips, took the rein from the soldier, and ran ahead to lead the way.
Five miles away, riding a horse is only half an hour, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is instantaneous.
After dismounting, Xiao Jinyan stood aside, staring at Ye Chen, causing Ye Chen to feel embarrassed even if he wanted to be lazy. This person is really not too qualified to be a supervisor.
Without the process of gathering yin qi, the next step will be fast. Regardless of whether the yin qi invades the body seriously or not, the soldiers will go through it all at once.
Re-experience the warmth of the sun shining on their bodies, and the officers and soldiers feel better than ever, as if the sky is bluer and the water is clearer, and everything they see feels wonderful. Apart from being happy, I don't forget to express my sincere thanks to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen accepted it calmly, and Xiao Jinyan, who was standing quietly by the side, gave Ye Chen a dissatisfied look.That was the benefit he got in exchange for the soldiers with ten war horses, including a famous horse. It was his duty to treat the soldiers, so thank him for what he did.
Ye Chen had a rare good-natured smile, Xiao Jinyan was sulking at someone he was not very familiar with, this was a strange scene, but Xiao Jinyan didn't know it, Ye Chen naturally wouldn't expose it.
Xiao Jinyan is the person Ye Chen has come into contact with the most in line with his aesthetics. There is a huge difference in status between the two of them. It's a pity if they meet again if he doesn't try hard enough to give up.
As for Xiao Jinyan's cold temper and bad temper, Ye Chen didn't care about it, and he himself didn't feel much better.
That night, Xiao Jinyan approached the Marquis of Qing'an again.
"Father, the situation over there is getting more and more serious, and it must be dealt with as soon as possible." Xiao Jinyan said solemnly as he put several jade boxes containing foreign stones, which were actually contaminated jade, on the case table.
"Be specific."
Xiao Jinyan explained the situation in a few words, and finally said: "The source of the jade was not found. I sent people to dig the ground at various points in the abnormal place, but nothing was found."
This matter was too weird, so the Marquis of Qing'an decided to lead a team to investigate it himself tomorrow.
After walking around for a while, Hou Qing'an's face sank like water, he thought for a long time, and immediately sent someone to invite Zen Master Qingyuan.
What Xiao Jinyan said was right, the severity of the matter exceeded Qing'an Hou's estimate.
Yesterday Xiao Jinyan and his subordinates had swept through the anomalous area. Even if there were omissions, there should not be many strange stones, but this is not the case.
Today, the Marquis of Qing'an led a team to go there, and still got back a lot of strange stones, but they couldn't find the source.
Going on like this is not an option, after repeated actions, the jade box is almost exhausted, and if there are more times, I am afraid that there will be no place to put the strange stone.
After Zen Master Qingyuan arrived, the Marquis of Qing'an immediately sent someone to take him to the abnormal area.
Don't bother the two masters with one thing, this task is handed over to Xiao Jinyan.
The destination is not far from Shanyuguan, and they will arrive soon on horseback. As soon as Zen Master Qingyuan stepped into the edge of the abnormal area, his face was no longer peaceful, and he looked a little serious.
Xiao Jinyan tilted her head: "Master..."
Zen Master Qingyuan didn't respond immediately, he rode his horse around the abnormal area, looked up at the mountain beside him, squinted his eyes carefully, pointed to the place where he had inserted a branch before, and said, "Benefactor Xiao, Yin The Qi should come from there, but this can't explain the frequent occurrence of Yishi, go to the mountain and have a look."
Everyone immediately moved their positions.
The mountain is not high, but it is a bit steep. This difficulty is not worth mentioning for well-trained officers and soldiers.The same goes for Zen Master Qingyuan, regardless of his age, his body is well maintained, not much inferior to Xiao Jinyan and the others.
Everyone climbed up all the way, and they didn't feel anything strange. Xiao Jinyan and the others didn't feel anything wrong when they reached the top of the mountain, but Zen Master Qingyuan suddenly changed his face, and walked to the other side of the mountain first, and everyone hurriedly followed.
After a few breaths, some people in the team sensed something was wrong one after another, and after walking forward for a while, everyone noticed something was wrong.The crowd did not stop and continued to follow Zen Master Qingyuan.
It's just that this situation didn't last long, but Zen Master Qingyuan stopped at a few tens of feet deep, and said, "All benefactors, please stop, and I will look forward."
If the cold aura in the valley is just uncomfortable, and a short stay will not cause harm to people, then the aura here is already so solid that it makes people feel cold.
In fact, without Zen Master Qingyuan's reminder, Xiao Jinyan and the others had the urge to go back. When they got here, not to mention the biting coldness, they even started to move slowly.
Xiao Jinyan knew she was weak, so she didn't try to be brave, so she took a few steps back with her men and reminded: "Master, be careful."
"Thank you, Master Xiao, for your kindness. The poor monk will save me." Zen Master Qingyuan clasped his hands together and thanked him. Under the admiring eyes of everyone, he walked forward against the strong Yin energy.
After a while, Zen Master Qingyuan returned the same way, with an apology on his face: "The poor monk's cultivation is not enough, and he has entrusted him with the trust of Lord Marquis."
Xiao Jinyan's heart trembled. Although he didn't see the source, he could imagine the seriousness of the matter from what he saw.
As far as the eye can see, there are piles of different stones all over the mountains and fields, and there is a hole beside each pile, which looks like it was dug by underground creatures such as mountain rabbits and mice.
Strangely, all the holes were abandoned, and Xiao Jinyan led people to dig the holes on the outside, and the cold breath immediately became thicker, and when he saw it, he immediately covered it.
The source was found, and the strange rocks scattered all over the valley still can't be explained. Someone couldn't have thrown them deliberately, right? Who is so full to do such a shameless thing?
Everyone returned the same way, Zen Master Qingyuan reminded: "Yin Qi entering the body is harmful to the body, go back and bask in the sun more, and don't get close to women for the time being."
Everyone: "..." The barracks are all big men, even if they want to, the conditions are not allowed, Zen Master Qingyuan, do you think too much?
Standing on the top of the mountain again, it was still the same as before, and there was no abnormal aura. Xiao Jinyan refused to give up and ordered the team to disperse and check.
After a blanket search, Xiao Jinyan finally found the problem. There was a small spring on another nearby mountain.
The strange thing is that the spring water does not leak out, it seems that there is a dark river to absorb all the spring water, not only that, even the strange aura is covered up.
Xiao Jinyan's eyes lit up, but Zen Master Qingyuan shook his head after inspecting it: "It can only cover up the breath, it cannot dissolve it."
Back at the barracks, Xiao Jinyan reported the truth, and the Marquis of Qing'an personally received Zen Master Qingyuan.
Xiao Jinyan didn't know what the two of them said privately, but only knew that the Marquis of Qing'an sent troops with Yishi to Xijing to send an urgent message that day.
Half a month later, the imperial court sent back an order to recruit capable people and strangers, and then monks and priests entered Zhenbei Mansion one after another.
Jinmin County is on the edge of Zhenbei Mansion. After the imperial court's recruitment order was issued, it spread throughout the county overnight. Naturally, the Ye family also heard about it, but they didn't have that ability and only listened to strange people and strange things.
When Ye Chen found out, it was already more than half a month later, at this time the cold winter was approaching, and autumn was deeply felt.
"Uncle, I'm leaving for a while, and I'll ask you to take care of the family." Ye Chen solemnly entrusted.
Winter is coming, there are not many things going on in Beihuang, the manor has not been completed yet, the conditions are not as good as those in the city, so Ye Ningren was transferred back.
"Where are you going?" Ye Ningren asked subconsciously.
Ye Chen didn't hide anything: "Zhenbei Mansion."
"What are you going there for?" As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Ye Ningren came to his senses, pointing at Ye Chen and shaking the rope, "You don't want to answer the recruiting order, do you?"
"Ah."
Ye Ningren was stunned, and hesitated for a while before saying: "So many experts can't solve the problem, where do you come from?"
Ye Chen's eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a joking tone: "The immortal taught me in the dream. When I fell down the mountain and was injured and had a high fever, the immortal saw that I was destined to be with him, so he taught me everything he had learned. .”
Ye Ningren opened his mouth wide, his face full of disbelief, and he couldn't make a sentence: "Really, really? Didn't you lie to me?"
Ye Chen raised his eyebrows, he just said something casually, but he didn't expect Ye Ningren to be so convinced.It was only then that he remembered that gods and ghosts are very revered here, and whenever there is something that he can't understand, he will rely on it. Fortune tellers are very popular here. Weddings and funerals, as long as there are some conditions, you have to ask for luck first.
Ye Chen immediately followed the trend, and said with a serious face: "Uncle, how could my nephew make fun of this matter, that is disrespectful to the gods, and will be struck by lightning."
Rumbling, there was a muffled sound in the distance.
Ye Chen: "..."
Such a coincidence?Don't tell him that there are gods in this world.Ye Chen still doesn't believe it. He has experienced the last days. He has nothing to be afraid of thunder. The so-called "fairy" is just a higher level of existence than ordinary people. As long as the mysterious veil in the middle is removed, ordinary people will be the same He can pluck the stars with one hand and knock down the gods.
Otherwise, Ye Ningren was taken aback. Hearing the rumble of thunder in the distance, but none of them landed on Ye Chen, his eyes were full of suspicion, and he didn't understand what God meant, whether to make him believe it or not.
In the end, according to his own understanding, Ye Ningren thought that since Ye Chen was fine, he was telling the truth, and the thunder was just a warning from God not to act recklessly, and immediately said with a pale face: "Xiaochen, then you go yourself, I will take care of you at home, Remember to talk less and watch more."
Ye Chen naturally had no answer.
On that day, Ye Chen arranged the household affairs, and the next day, he drove away with two Zhuang Ding.
Zhenbei Mansion is only a few hundred miles away from Jinmin County. Shanyuguan is at the northernmost end of Zhenbei Mansion. There are horses for transportation. Ye Chen and his party will arrive within a few days.
At this time, Zhenbei Mansion, which was originally more prosperous than Jinmin County, was even more lively.Outsiders can be seen everywhere on the street, there are eminent monks and Taoist priests, and more people come to join in the fun, such as fortune tellers that are common in the streets and alleys.
Shanyuguan is an important place on the frontier, where idlers stop, no one recommends it, the reputation is not enough, outsiders can't even get in the door, even if there is an urgent need for capable people and strangers to solve the problem, the gate is very strict, every few days Only a group of people whose identities have been verified are allowed to enter.
Ye Chen came relatively late. Before him, there were three groups of people who came out successively, and everyone tried their best. The effect cannot be said to be non-existent, but the problem has not been completely solved, and it has become more and more serious. If you can solve the problem, you will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold.
This is a pleasant surprise.
Before coming here, Ye Chen only knew that there was a problem with a jade mine outside Shanyuguan, and it seemed to be contaminated by the filthy atmosphere. With the emergence of the jade mine, the filthy aura became visible.After listening to the gossip for a day, he realized that things were reversed. It was not the jade mine that brought out the filthy smell, but the filthy breath that soared to the sky and brought the jade mine out.
This time, Ye Chen also encountered difficulties. The jade mine problem was easy to talk about, and he couldn't solve the dirty smell for a while.But now that we've all arrived here, it's too late to repent. We can't just leave empty-handed without even seeing it.
As the saying goes, hearing is believing, seeing is believing, Ye Chen decided to go for it.
Two days later, it will be the time for the fourth batch of outsiders to enter the abnormal area. Ye Chen finished his registration and handed over a greeting card to the gate of Qing'anhou's mansion. He didn't make any extra moves and waited patiently at the inn.
Ye Chen's identity was fine, and when the time came, he followed a group of outsiders to Shanyuguan.He was dressed in cotton and short brown, and he should have been inconspicuous, but he was very eye-catching among this group of people.
Scholars from other places are naturally different from ordinary people, whether they wear monk robes or Taoist robes, no matter how bad they are, they still have to look like an outsider, but Ye Chen is dressed so ordinary, it is difficult not to be noticed.
Looking at the corners of Ye Chen's mouth when people glanced over from time to time, the corners of Ye Chen's mouth twitched slightly.Well, it's not easy to do this job, next time he has to order a cassock similar to a Taoist robe in advance, so as not to be so out of place.
Shanyuguan is very important, and the guard, Marquis Qing'an, did not open it to outsiders. Therefore, a group of outsiders failed to stay in Shanyuguan, and passed through it as soon as they reached the pass.
A temporary garrison was built outside the pass for outsiders to rest. The first few batches who did not leave on the spot were all placed here, guarded by officers and soldiers, and could not act without authorization.
After leaving the customs, Ye Chen and the others were not taken to inspect the scene immediately, but entered the temporary station to communicate with the previous groups of people, lest they rush in without knowing the situation and waste time in vain.
As soon as he entered, Ye Chen learned the news that the filthy air from outside was actually a kind of negative energy in his cognition. Long-term exposure to this negative energy or being in a negative energy field is harmful to the body. Mine is just incidental, if the source of negative energy is not resolved, the matter will not end.
The goal of Ye Chen's trip is the jade mine. Although the treatment of the jade mine will treat the symptoms rather than the root cause, the negative energy contained in the jade veins should not be underestimated. If this can be solved perfectly, the negative energy field will inevitably weaken and expand outward. When it can be slowed down, the credit is not small.
After listening to the precautions, Ye Chen received an amulet. The effect was weak, but it was better than nothing, and he took it against his will.Others may not be so. Some people who think highly of themselves don't even take a look, and just walk away. They must have better self-defense weapons in their hands.
Seeing that a group of people from outside the area were ready to stop, the leading soldiers didn't even say a word of nonsense, and directly led the large army to the abnormal area.
More than a month has passed, and the scope of the anomalous area has expanded a lot. When Xiao Jinyan discovered it, it was still seven or eight miles away from Shanyuguan, but now he can feel a chilly aura within five miles. At this speed, it won't take long , it will cover Shanyuguan, and things will be troublesome at that time. No wonder the Marquis of Qing'an is in a hurry, and the imperial court issued the recruitment order with such great fanfare.
After arriving at the place, Ye Chen was instructed to move freely within the specified range, and immediately left the large army, let go of his perception, and followed the place where negative energy was dense.
The officially issued amulet took effect very quickly, but unfortunately, it was a little weak, and before reaching the target location, the amulet lost its effect and turned into a pile of powder and scattered.
Rao Ye Chen was well-informed and also found it miraculous.The power system he experienced in the last days is supernatural powers, and spells and so on only exist in legends. He originally thought that there was no magical power in this world, but it turned out that he was generalizing, but he had no chance to touch it.Although the power is very weak so far, the root cause is still there. The big change in the lucky mall may represent the recovery of the original power system.
After the amulet expired, Ye Chen tried to operate his breath according to the operation of the supernatural power, but the positive energy was not attracted, but the negative energy rushed to him.He stopped quickly, but his body still shivered. Ye Chen hurriedly expelled it from his body according to the method of casting the power, and as expected, he succeeded.
After this trial, Ye Chen had a pretty good idea.No matter whether absorbing and operating this kind of negative energy according to the supernatural cultivation method will cause sequelae, it is certain that this cold breath can be used by people, but it is difficult for ordinary people to do it, at least Ye Chen avoids it.
But he is not afraid, as long as the negative energy is not so strong that it hinders his actions, Ye Chen can disperse it outside his body to alleviate the impact.
The edge of the abnormal area is very clean, as if it has been plowed by someone, and not a single foreign stone can be seen. After passing the amulet invalidation boundary, fish that escaped the net gradually began to appear.
Ye Chen picked up all the jade stones he encountered along the way and put them into the jade box. He secretly held a small piece and tried it. After being ingested by the Lucky Mall, it turned into fine powder and scattered into the air, without any other aura escaping. .
The corner of Ye Chen's mouth raised. His guess was indeed correct. The Unowned Jade can be collected by the Lucky Mall, but not in the shop. It doesn't even give an appraisal, and he needs to make his own judgment.
The most important thing is that the chilly aura infecting jade is indeed a kind of energy, and Yuanyu is the benchmark for measuring the energy of jade. As long as it is the energy contained in jade, no matter what kind of energy it is, Lucky Mall will accept it. It is also more valuable than ordinary jade of the same grade, it has an extra energy, doesn't it?
The first piece of jade, Ye Chen, was only concerned with converting Lucky Mall into Yuanyu, and didn't pay attention to anything else. He paid attention to the second piece of jade. Soon, he learned from Lucky Mall that this kind of jade that contains negative energy is called Yin. Lingyu.
The energy contained in it is very pure. It is formed by the gathering of Yin Qi from heaven and earth. After being absorbed and transformed by jade, it no longer hurts people so much, but Yin Qi is Yin Qi after all. It is still a negative energy that is harmful to the human body.
As soon as Ye Chen felt unwell, he expelled the Yin Qi that had invaded his body out of his body. This cycle went on and on, and before he knew it, he was already close to the center of the negative energy field.At this time, there were only a few people around, and the youngest one seemed to be forty or fifty.
Seeing that a young man who was no more than twenty years old was at the same level as them, several people who had attained the Tao had complicated expressions and looked towards Ye Chen one after another.
Being stared at so fiercely, even if Ye Chen was very nervous, he would not fail to notice it, not to mention his keen perception, the moment everyone turned their gazes to him, he noticed it, and naturally looked back.
The outsiders were shocked, their sharp senses really had two brushes, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they didn't show it at all on their faces, and smiled at Ye Chen to show that they didn't have any malicious intentions.
The episode ended peacefully.
There are obvious traces of excavation in the center of the abnormal area, but for some reason, it was buried and compacted with earth and rocks, so I have to ask someone later.
The leading soldiers did not stop here, and let only a few outsiders walk around for a while before continuing to move forward.
Ye Chen was surprised, could it be that there is more than one place like this?
As expected, the area covered by negative energy in the valley is just a pediatric area, and the mountain forest is the real Shura field.
Standing on the top of the mountain, without getting close, Ye Chen could see the almost condensed yin energy on the opposite mountain.
There were a few eminent monks chanting sutras, and the Taoist priests were forming a formation. The negative energy dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye. Unfortunately, more gushed out. This effort was in vain, but no one complained, and they continued to chant sutras , Arranging the array, without wasting a little time, even the fine sweat on the forehead has no time to pay attention.
A trace of respect rose from the bottom of Ye Chen's heart, no matter whether they came here for fame or profit, it was already commendable for them to risk their bodies being damaged.
Seeing such scenes, even though Ye Chen was used to the darkness, a trace of passion surged in his heart. He couldn't do anything else, and he could easily solve Yin Lingyu.
Ye Chen is alone now, and the two Zhuang Ding who came with him have long been unable to withstand the invasion of Yin Qi, and as the large army retreated to the temporary station, he needed manpower to collect the exposed jade mines, so he took the lead The team captain said: "I have a way to deal with the jade mine."
After saying that, Ye Chen took out a piece of Yin Lingyu from the jade box, turned it into Yuanyu and took it into the Lucky Mall in public.With a snap of his fingers, a piece of untreated rough jade, the outer skin became a pile of pieces, and the jade in the middle turned into powder.
Everyone who saw this scene almost stared out of their sockets, and then gasped.The young general who led the team didn't think much of it, and the eyes of a few outsiders with real skills flashed in horror. They had never heard of this move, let alone witnessed it with their own eyes.
After regaining consciousness, someone stepped forward to make a close relationship: "My little friend, can I tell you your name?"
"Ye Chen." There's nothing to hide, he doesn't intend to put himself too high, but he won't give in at will.He doesn't know much about the hidden powers of this world, and making friends with these lowly and well-known people will help him break into the inside, saving him from being unable to find the door like before, "What's the name of the master?"
"Little friend is absurd, just ask me to explain it."
Ye Chen was a good student, and he was called Master Daoyi, and the two quickly became acquainted.
After chatting for a few words, Daoyi hesitated for a while, and asked, "Who is Ye Xiaoyou's teacher?"
"No school, no sect, I accidentally got advice from an immortal master."
"Little friend is really amazing, mastering such a powerful technique at such an age, the poor are willing to bow down."
"Master Daoyi is humble. The qi transformation technique you just performed is called strong. They should send someone to pick you up soon." Ye Chen praised.
The two just ignored the others present and complimented each other, which made the rest of them twitch.
Those who can get here without forcing themselves are all capable people, who have a head and face in their respective territories, and are used to putting on airs. It's not easy to let go. Even if someone looks at Ye Chen with admiration, there are not many who can take the initiative to make friends with him like a Taoist. One, no, actually it was just one person, the others had different expressions, but most of them were listening to their conversation.
What Ye Chen said was correct, Dao Yi's ability was very suitable for this place, and he was quickly asked to leave, and the rest were also arranged in suitable positions. Ye Chen was left alone to deal with Yin Lingyu.
There is no need for Ye Chen to do such an errand as collecting jade. The negative energy on the mountain where he is located does not dissipate much, and ordinary soldiers will not be affected by it.
Lead the young general to give an order, bypass the negative energy field area of the valley, and the officers and soldiers who are on standby here will start to search for jade around Ye Chen's location, and if they find a certain amount, they will gather around Ye Chen. responsible for destruction.
At first the officers and soldiers didn't believe it, they just acted according to the order. When they saw the pieces of jade turned into powder, and the cold atmosphere accumulated due to the large number of jades also dissipated, all of them stared wide-eyed. Now, they Believe it or not.
Seeing such outstanding results, the officers and soldiers worked more vigorously, as if they were only working to complete the task just now.
After receiving a report from the front that someone from outside could dispose of the jade mine contaminated by the filthy atmosphere, the Marquis of Qing'an's eyes lit up, and he immediately sent Xiao Jinyan to the jade disposal place with the jade he had collected earlier.
"Huh, why is it him?" Before reaching the top of the mountain, Xiao Jinyan saw Ye Chen standing on the top of the mountain, his clothes fluttering due to the mountain wind. It was a little darker when I saw it, and nothing else changed, and I still couldn't see people if I didn't pay attention. Once it came into view, it was easy to become the focus.
Ye Chen didn't expect to run into Xiao Yanjin here. Not long after returning to Jinmin County, he received news from Xiao Jinyan that he had left Xijing and entered the Zhenbei Prefecture military camp.
The problem is that the Zhenbei Prefecture is not limited to just one important military area in Shanyuguan. As the guard of the Zhenbei Prefecture, the Marquis of Qing'an is guarding the entire border of Zhenbei Prefecture, not just Shanyuguan.
Ye Chen heard that the Marquis of Qing'an was guarding this place, so Xiao Jinyan should be transferred to other places. He didn't expect that the Marquis of Qing'an would value Xiao Jinyan's eldest son so much, and he would put it under his nose. I'm afraid that when Xiao Jinyan is capable enough, Only the Marquis of Qing'an would send him to another pass. It seems that the Marquis of Qing'an didn't want Xiao Jinyan to make any mistakes.
"Lieutenant Xiao, I'm sorry." Ye Chen didn't show too much, just greeted like an ordinary military officer.
Xiao Jinyan treated him in the same way, except that out of the corner of his eye, he would glance towards Ye Chen intentionally or unintentionally, paying more attention to him than others.
Those who don't know it can't detect it. Ye Chen has a keen sense and quickly catches the line of sight, but he doesn't expose it, so he pretends not to know.
Seeing Ye Chen handle the jade mine with ease, Xiao Jinyan had a whim, and asked in a low voice: "Can you get rid of the Yin Qi that invaded the body?"
Ye Chen raised his head when he heard the words: "There are so many masters here, do you need me?"
"The effect is too slow." Xiao Jinyan's heart moved, and he didn't deny that he really knew how to say that. A strangeness flashed in his heart, and his curiosity gradually arose.He even knows alchemy, what else does this person not know?
"I'll look back, but I don't guarantee it will work." Ye Chen replied a little conservatively.
"Just do your best." Xiao Jinyan didn't push her every step of the way, and immediately led the team back after getting a satisfactory answer.He had to go back and tell the Marquis of Qing'an the news, and then arrange for the soldiers who were seriously invaded by Yin Qi to wait in the temporary station outside the pass, and try to get medical treatment as soon as Ye Chen came back.
As the yin qi continues to permeate, many officers and soldiers performing tasks in this area have been attacked by yin qi to varying degrees. Slight exposure to the sun will allow them to adjust themselves, but heavy ones will not. Fortunately, no one has yet It was so critical that it caused a vicious infection, but the morale of the army was still stable, and no riots were caused.
It's just that seeing those who are in a serious situation are cold all over, their faces are turning blue, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly weakened. From the guards to the pawns at the Shanyu Pass, everyone feels chills from the bottom of their hearts.
Ye Chen destroyed the Yin Lingyu very quickly, no matter how much it was, as long as it was within reach, it would turn into a pile of gravel powder in the blink of an eye, and it would be the same in another place.
This cycle went on and on, until the officers and soldiers put all the jade they could collect in front of Ye Chen and let him destroy it, it only took half a day, and then they needed to use professional miners, nothing happened to them, and the officers and soldiers returned to the team one after another.
Ye Chen also returned, and before he could discuss the matter with Xiao Jinyan, the other party brought a group of officers and soldiers who had been invaded by Yin Qi to wait for him at the temporary station.
Ye Chen glanced at Xiao Jinyan. This person really doesn't know what politeness is. He didn't even have time to drink his saliva, so he was arrested as a young man. If he has a bad temper, wouldn't he cause trouble?
Thinking about it this way, Ye Chen feels very good about himself, it seems that he is also a "kind person".However, just following Xiao Jinyan's wishes, why did he feel something was wrong?
Thinking of this, Ye Chen smiled at Xiao Jinyan: "Lieutenant Xiao, why don't you come first?"
Everyone felt a chill down their spines, and they took a small step back calmly.This master looked at his young age, younger than them, and looked harmless, why did he smile so viciously, making people feel chills in the bottom of his heart?Sure enough, a person cannot be judged by his appearance, sea water cannot be measured, a master is a master, and he should not be easily offended.
"No, I'm fine." Xiao Jinyan refused directly, not giving Ye Chen a chance, but his face seemed a little stiff, obviously his heart was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.
How could Ye Chen let Xiao Jinyan go so easily? He has worked hard for a long time, so he still has to earn some interest, right?
The Marquis of Qing'an governed the army rigorously, and all the soldiers were not ostentatious, full of vigor, but it was a pity that all those in front of them were troubled by the invasion of Yin Qi, and their complexion was not very good. Inside, it was Xiao Jinyan who was the most eye-catching and eye-catching, and his demeanor was really good It cannot be cultivated by ordinary people.
But taking advantage is taking advantage, Ye Chen is really not talking nonsense to fool people, Xiao Jinyan does have a faint yin qi lingering on her body, it is estimated that the party was newly infected in the morning, it is very slight, and can be resolved by herself.
Ye Chen didn't have this ability before, it was because he tried to absorb the vitality between heaven and earth according to the operation method of the supernatural power, but it appeared after sucking in a whole body of Yin Qi, even he himself didn't know what was going on, and this kind of power has never appeared in the last days situation.
Xiao Jinyan: "..." This little rascal is sure of him. If he doesn't agree, the other party will most likely give up.
Ye Chen just stood there idly, Guangming was unscrupulously admiring the young man in his prime.
Xiao Jinyan squinted her eyes, obviously she should be disgusted, but there was only a touch of displeasure in her heart.After he figured out the situation, he could afford to let it go, and decided to cut through the mess quickly and end this embarrassing situation as soon as possible. Didn't the officers and soldiers look at him and Ye Chen a little bit wrong?
"What do I need to do?" Xiao Jinyan said expressionlessly.
"Hand out."
Xiao Jinyan froze for a moment, and after realizing it, he simply stretched out his hand in front of Ye Chen.
Ye Chen put away his joking demeanor, and put his hand on Xiao Jinyan's mouth in a serious manner.
Xiao Jinyan wanted to resist subconsciously, but instead of getting out of Ye Chen's control, she was caught even tighter, and she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.This was the first time he confronted Ye Chen. Although it was not a frontal battle, the opponent took the lead, but it was the first time he fell into such a passive situation.
Xiao Jinyan is not the second-generation ancestor or a dude, not to mention summer training and winter training. At least this can be guaranteed without stopping every day. He was taught by the Marquis of Qing'an himself when he was young, and he has excellent talent. Persevere, the skills are quite good, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even generals, they may not be his opponents, but they can't do a single move under Ye Chen's hands.
Xiao Jinyan will not doubt herself because of this, the problem naturally lies with Ye Chen, and she can't help but re-examine this rural boy who at first glance seems to be doing a sacred and important event, but is actually a lot of care.
After a secret contest, Ye Chen won. He was not complacent, and locked his eyes on the opponent's palm to wrist.
Xiao Jinyan practiced martial arts all the year round, her fingers were long and slender, with well-defined joints, but they didn't feel soft at all. On the contrary, they were covered with calluses in several places, the tiger's mouth was the most conspicuous, and Ye Chen could clearly feel the power contained in these hands.
Ye Chen knew that with the strength of Xiao Jinyan's resistance just now, if he hadn't taken the lead and wanted to take down the opponent head-on, it would really take a lot of effort. The Hong Liu and other local hooligans in front of him can be compared.
It's only a matter of a moment, Ye Chen understands that, except for Xiao Jinyan, the person involved, no one will notice it.For this, Ye Chen had nothing to explain, and he didn't want to explain it. Even if the entrusted person was the one in front of him, he didn't think of perfunctory.
Ye Chen collected his mind and focused all his attention on the business in front of him.To be honest, he didn't have much confidence in his heart, after all, apart from himself, he hadn't applied the operation method of the supernatural power to others.
There are no supernatural powers in this world, and the Yin Qi is the strongest here at Shanyuguan. Not surprisingly, when Ye Chen used his supernatural powers, what he absorbed was Yin Qi. His body instinctively wanted to resist, but he suppressed it.
The temporary station is five miles away from the abnormal area, and the Yin Qi in the air is extremely thin. Only after Ye Chen practiced for a week can the concentration of Yin Qi reach the minimum amount that can be drawn out of the body. It entered Xiao Jinyan's body, turned around and then escaped from the other hand.
The moment the yin qi entered the body, Xiao Jinyan felt a coolness flow from his hands, and then spread into his limbs and bones, before disappearing in an instant.For a moment, he had to think that Ye Chen had a grudge against him and wanted to harm him, but before he had any reaction, everything was as if the rain had passed and the sky cleared without leaving a trace.
Ye Chen withdrew his hand: "How do you feel, does your body warm up?"
Xiao Jinyan responded indifferently: "I didn't feel the warmth, but I was almost frozen into ice."
"Hey, why are you so ignorant? Do you know that in order to help you get rid of the remaining Yin Qi in your body, you have to go through it with me first. It's fine if you're not grateful, but you're disgusted and die." Ye Chen lowered his face, full of Face upset.
Xiao Jinyan was taken aback by the words, but then recalled, Ding is Ding Mao or Mao, and he put on a posture and said, "What do you want?"
This person is quite upright, but Ye Chen would be unhappy if he was so disgusted. If it wasn't for the fact that Xiao Jinyan was so good-looking and had a good time working with him, he would definitely leave without saying a word: "Is there anything?" For the extra war horses, give me a few, the horses are the best."
"No." Xiao Jinyan refused without thinking.This person's thinking is really beautiful, it is not easy to train war horses, how can anyone just ask for it?
"Really not?" Ye Chen squinted his eyes, and just stared at Xiao Jinyan with his arms around his chest.
Xiao Jinyan frowned. Ever since he saw this person in the morning, he had a strange feeling. It seemed that this person was obviously different from what he had seen before, a kind of deep intuition.
Suppressing this weird feeling, Xiao Yanjin carefully considered whether the deal proposed by Ye Chen was a good deal, and the result was self-evident.
If it's just the soldiers with problems in front of them, it's not worth it. Xiao Jinyan can wait for them to recover slowly. The key is that if the source of Yin Qi is not resolved for a day, there will only be a lot of soldiers affected by it.
Weighing the pros and cons, Xiao Jinyan quickly made a decision: "Ten horses, at most ten war horses for you, nine ordinary horses before retirement, and one flaming horse."
"Liuyan?" Surprise flashed in Ye Chen's eyes, this doesn't sound like an ordinary horse, could it be a famous horse?How generous is Xiao Jinyan?Ye Chen has reservations.
Xiao Jinyan said coldly: "The horses in the army are not sent outside."
"Then this horse?" Ye Chen decided to be an ignorant person, breaking the casserole and asking the end.
"Brother Blazing."
Ye Chen also wanted to ask which name tag Chi Yan was on, but was stupefied by the invisible black energy emanating from Xiao Jinyan's body.This person doesn't know how to tease him, so it's better not to tease him too hard, lest the other party lose his temper, and the business will be ruined completely, and that would be no fun.
The soldiers around were stunned. Is this the Captain Xiao they are familiar with?There was a hint of admiration in the eyes looking at Ye Chen.
After the entertainment, Ye Chen turned back to the topic: "This is not suitable, go to the edge of the abnormal area."
Without saying a word, Xiao Jinyan got on the horse and showed it with action.
It was agreed, Ye Chen smacked his lips, took the rein from the soldier, and ran ahead to lead the way.
Five miles away, riding a horse is only half an hour, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is instantaneous.
After dismounting, Xiao Jinyan stood aside, staring at Ye Chen, causing Ye Chen to feel embarrassed even if he wanted to be lazy. This person is really not too qualified to be a supervisor.
Without the process of gathering yin qi, the next step will be fast. Regardless of whether the yin qi invades the body seriously or not, the soldiers will go through it all at once.
Re-experience the warmth of the sun shining on their bodies, and the officers and soldiers feel better than ever, as if the sky is bluer and the water is clearer, and everything they see feels wonderful. Apart from being happy, I don't forget to express my sincere thanks to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen accepted it calmly, and Xiao Jinyan, who was standing quietly by the side, gave Ye Chen a dissatisfied look.That was the benefit he got in exchange for the soldiers with ten war horses, including a famous horse. It was his duty to treat the soldiers, so thank him for what he did.
Ye Chen had a rare good-natured smile, Xiao Jinyan was sulking at someone he was not very familiar with, this was a strange scene, but Xiao Jinyan didn't know it, Ye Chen naturally wouldn't expose it.
Xiao Jinyan is the person Ye Chen has come into contact with the most in line with his aesthetics. There is a huge difference in status between the two of them. It's a pity if they meet again if he doesn't try hard enough to give up.
As for Xiao Jinyan's cold temper and bad temper, Ye Chen didn't care about it, and he himself didn't feel much better.
