Tenth on the man list!
So this little girl who's afraid of needles and loves sugar is so strong!
Zhou Heng was also somewhat surprised in his heart.
Originally, in his mind, with Cheng Jiangjian's age and cultivation realm, he supposed that she should have a place on the people list, but it was mostly in the 30 or 40th percentile.
After all, the top sixty on the human list were basically seventh-ranked martial artists.
But I didn't expect that she would actually go straight to the tenth on the people list.
This was a solid achievement!
Truly amazing.
The top 10 people on the list are all legends of the younger generation, and they may even be written into novels based on their experiences, with a chance of being passed down for hundreds of years.
It was an achievement that countless young martial artists dreamed of.
Not to process the title of Jiangjian is too arbitrary.
It's unlucky that Qiongfeng is poor and mad!
When Zhou Heng thought of a poor crazy fairy living in his house, he panicked a bit, he wouldn't be unable to make money in the future, would he?
He's a bit of a superstitious metaphysician.
Right now, he had the urge to run home and invite Cheng Jiangjian out of the house, or have her change her name.
"Hey, what are you looking at?" Yu He found Zhou Heng in a daze, so he waved his hand in front of his eyes and laughed: "Why did you get dumb just now when you heard about Cheng Jiangjian? You want to compare yourself to others, right?"
"No." Zhou Heng shook his head, "I'm just a little curious to hear the tenth on the eighteen year old list, I've never even heard of it before."
"That's why you're so lonely and uneducated." Yu He laughed and said, "Cheng Jiangjian is a disciple of the Pure Yang Palace of the Three Palaces of the Dao Sect, and was personally passed down by the Master of Yu Qiong Peak, Qingxu Reality Qi Rui.
"She cultivates a mastery of the Pure Yang Palace that goes straight to the realm of heavenly beings, and it's rumored that she is extremely talented in the art of swordsmanship, and after observing the Zhen Sect's divine weapons, she immediately comprehended a great sword move from it.
"A month ago, just after she descended from the mountain, she killed a seventh-grade expert of the evil Nine Deaths Sect, and half a month ago, she defeated the original three swords in Lingshou County The tenth 'Three Steps to Kill' Shen Chong of the People's List has since gained fame and is known as the Qiongfeng Fairy."
"Awesome awesome!" Zhou Heng nodded his head in praise.
"So ah, we're not at all comparable to others." I'm not sure if I'll be able to do that, but I'm not sure if I can. Not even a chance to get a face to face, and my little brother treats you to a hand job tonight?"
"No, I have some food to cook at home." Zhou Heng shook his head.
After all, Cheng Jiangjian was still waiting at home, so she couldn't just jerk herself off outside and let her starve at home.
That's his own little golden master, four taels of silver a day!
"You ah are just too frugal." Yu He knew that Zhou Heng had always been in the habit of saving as much as he could and never wasting it, so he smiled and said, "Then tomorrow please, in two days' time Aren't you about to go as a temporary escort for that Miss Wang, just in time to give you a farewell."
"Then I'll be eating the big one." Zhou Heng smiled.
"By the way, speaking of that Miss Wang, her hometown is Yu Yang County, right." Yu He seemed to have thought of something and said to Zhou Heng, "There's a Red Flower Palace True Evil Maiden named Chen Hanyu in the thirty-fourth place on the Human List, and it seems to be in the Yu Yang County has been infested, so be careful."
"That mysterious, unpredictable Saffron Palace that kills men for fun?" Zhou Heng was astonished: "The thirty-fourth ranked person is at least a seventh grade, if she really met me, she would have to die. ?"
"Six months ago, ah, it's long gone now, haha!" Yu He was instantly amused, pointing at Zhou Heng and laughing, "Scared, it's hard to bluff you for once, hehe!!!"
"There's a price to pay for bluffing me!" The corner of Zhou Heng's mouth twitched slightly, waving at Yu He and saying, "Come, come, we haven't practiced against each other for a long time, what you and I have learned are all The Twelve Road Splitting Mountain Saber Technique is perfect for practicing!"
"Sorry, I'm taking the day off!" Yu He saw that it was bad and ran straight out of the martial arts school, his voice coming with the wind, "You can practice by yourself, my inn is full of business today, I'm going back to help ahhhhh."
"Hey, this guy... "Zhou Heng jolted the knife in his hand and turned to walk towards the practice area, not sighing lightly, "He's at ease, though."
Envy the rich.
All of them are lactose intolerant.
.....
The golden crow sinks in the west and the jade hare rises in the east.
It was dusk.
Zhou Heng was on his way home considering whether or not to make a sweet dish tonight.
After all, this little girl Cheng Jiangjian was quite fond of sweet food.
Then he would talk to her about the title.
But when he returned home, he found that the familiar silhouette on the bed was no longer there.
There was only the empty room.
It was quiet and cold.
Zhou Heng was slightly stunned.
He then turned his gaze and saw a left letter left on the table, along with a few pieces of silver.
Zhou Heng walked over and saw that it read.
"Thank you for taking me in these two days, Jiang Jian is extremely grateful.
"Thanks to Your Excellency's convalescence, my health has recovered today, so it is inconvenient for me to be disturbed any further and I should leave.
"The rest of the one-day lease payment as well as the money for the rock candy was also placed on the table, so please check, Your Excellency.
"The river is a long way away, and all hopes are cherished, and the green hills will not change.
"It is fate to see you again."
The handwriting is elegant, but without losing its stern edge, just as Cheng Jiangjian Jane is.
"Just don't forget to pay the money."
Zhou Heng laughed lightly, grabbing the silver and jolting it.
Well, it wasn't bad, there were about six taels, and the extra two taels should be icing sugar money.
Then, he neatly folded the letter and stored it away.
Casually made some dinner and ate it.
Zhou Heng picked up another chopstick, but unfortunately, there was no longer anyone to accompany him to practice against.
He could only practice one move at a time by himself.
"You are trying to practice the martial art "Thirteen Swords of Autumn Rain" [Ninth Grade], proficiency +3."
.....
"You are trying to practice the martial art "Thirteen Swords of Autumn Rain" [Ninth Grade], proficiency +5."
"Congratulations! Continuous practice triggers 'Heaven's Reward', the comprehension of the martial art "Thirteen Swords of Autumn Rain" [Nine-Prizes] is greatly deepened, proficiency +50."
"Congratulations! Martial Art "Thirteen Swords of Autumn Rain" [Ninth Grade] proficiency to perfection! Lucky Bag [Copper] +1."
.....
"Congratulations! As your proficiency in the martial art "Thirteen Swords of the Autumn Rain" [Nine-Pin] has reached perfection, your understanding of sword theory has further deepened, and the martial art The proficiency of the 'Solitary Nine Swords of the Broken Sword Style' [Eight Pieces] automatically reaches Intermediate."
"Congratulations! As the proficiency of the martial art "Solitary Nine Swords of the Broken Sword Style" [Eight Pieces] reaches the intermediate level, it automatically increases the proficiency of the low grade sword art, and the martial art The Thirteen Swords of Autumn Rain [Nine Pieces]'s proficiency +5000."
.....
[Ninth Item] Thirteen Swords of Autumn Rain: Complete (5000/5000)
Zhou Heng looked at this series of hints in his own mind stunned, this damn is really one sword skilled ten thousand swords rising to heaven ah, the solitary nine swords is really a good thing ah!
It actually advanced the Thirteen Swords of Autumn Rain directly to the level of great perfection, even the two brothers of the Sun family didn't reach this level, at least Sun Zhengping didn't.
Speaking of these two, I don't know how exactly Cheng Jiangjian and that House Master dealt with it at that time, and Sun Zhengfeng actually didn't come over to look for trouble afterwards.
Well, it seems that Yu He only vaguely remembers the events of that day.
The methods of a superior are really unpredictable.
Afterwards, Zhou Heng carefully washed his hands ten times and prepared to open the lucky bag.
As a matter of fact, if one was lucky enough, a copper lucky bag could open something as good as the Nine Solitary Swords, and if one was unlucky enough, even a silver lucky bag could open something as chicken-hearted as the Ninth Grade Martial Skill Proficiency.
Thus, it was still important to use mysticism to add luck.
"Congratulations! Obtain the state of 'clear mind'."
"Clear Heart and Little Desire: This is a state that can keep the mind pure and less lustful. Requires active activation, once a day, and can last for fifteen minutes."
What is this?
Zhou Heng looked confused, was it the legendary Sage Mode?
As long as there is no wording of "luck explodes" when you open a lucky bag, the things you open are either chicken ribs or completely useless.
This made him think of the three ninth-grade martial arts proficiency that opened the silver good fortune bag earlier, but it was a silver good fortune bag!
It's like Gen doesn't save anyone!
Zhou Heng sighed and wondered if he wanted to try this "pure heart and little desire".
It's all open, we have to try, right?
So, his thoughts moved, and his entire body shivered with a rush of excitement on the spot.
Only a cold stream of fresh water instantly rushed from the soles of his feet to his heavenly lid, causing him to lose interest in all sorts of things.
What proficiency ah, what lucky bag ah, what reward ah, what martial skill ah, what girl ah... they all seemed to be so tastelessly unappetizing.
Only the silver seemed to still smell good.
"This... really is the Sage Mode!"
Zhou Heng himself rolled his eyes and fell headlong onto the bed that still had some of Cheng Jiangjian's delicate fragrance, but he had no inner turmoil and soon fell asleep.
.....
The quality of Zhou Heng's sleep these days is very good.
The spirit is very well nourished.
Because he found that this "Pure Mind and Restless Desire" had no other effect, but definitely a first-rate sleeping effect.
Today was the day he, as Wang Qingqing's temporary escort, along with the rest of the guards and servants, escorted Wang Qingqing back to his hometown.
There was no welcoming ceremony.
There were even less pleasantries.
After all, Zhou Heng was just a temporary escort who was paid to do his job.
He had already gotten acquainted with the six guards fixed by Miss Wang yesterday, and when he arrived at the Wang residence this morning, he set off directly after a little preparation.
.....
Huang Tong government office.
Study Room.
Cheng Jiangjian, wearing a Star Ambassador mask and a brand new white strong suit, is looking over the information here.
She had not actually left Huang Tong Fu Cheng.
After she had completely dispelled the demonic energy, she came to the Huangtong Fu Nga, found the house master Wu Zongshan again, and explained that the ghost still had a helper.
Although the ghost creature was dead, that helper could not be spared.
It was unusual for a human to work with a ghost, either this person had a special life form, or there was some terrible plot that had to be found as soon as possible.
Cheng Jiangjian and House Master Wu Zongshan split their troops into two groups.
She was in the study looking over the details of various people in Huang Tong Mansion over the past year, while Wu Zongshan sent people to secretly track down and see if they could find any ghost-related people or places in the city.
After a few days of searching, Cheng Jiangjian roughly locked down three families, all of which had moved into Huang Tongfu in the last half year.
The most suspicious among them should belong to the Wang family.
It was the Wang family that Wang Qingqing was in.
The head of that Wang family, Wang Tong, often sent people to buy medicinal herbs that nourished a woman's qi and blood.
However, his wife died early and he had never had a concubine, and there was only one yellow-flowered maiden in the family who had not yet left the court, so it was reasonable to say that there was no need for these herbs.
But these herbs can nourish the woman as well as the Yin energy, which can be used to enhance the power of ghosts and even help them improve their nature.
It was just that the other two also had similar doubts, making it difficult for her to confirm.
Just at this time, House Master Wu Zongshan hurriedly returned, he saluted respectfully and looked somewhat anxious, "Lord Star Messenger, things may be Something is not good, we found this in the Wang family's mansion."
Immediately, he waved his hand, and three or five magistrates carried in a pot of bright red flowers, their colors so delicate that water droplets stained the petals as if they were teardrops.
"This is!?"
Cheng Jiangjian immediately stood up and stared at the pot of red flowers without turning her eyes away, saying in shock, "Tear Red Flowers!?"
"That's right, it's the Tear Saffron!" Wu Zongshan nodded and said in a deep voice, "This is the Tear Red Flower that only true disciples of the Red Flower Palace will plant, it can charm the heart and soul.
"It's actually planted directly in the city mansions like this, no wonder the Wang family doesn't see visitors, so it's to hide this Tear Red Flower, damn it!"
"Wang family, Wang family!?"
Cheng Jiangjian was a little anxious, her mind spinning rapidly, saying, "Tear Red Flower is the sign of a true disciple of the Red Flower Palace, Wang Qingqing will charm people As crazy as she is, as crazy as she is... She, I'm afraid she's a disciple of the Saffron Palace!"
With that in mind, she directly copied the long sword at her side and flew out of the courthouse study, disappearing in the blink of an eye!
Cheng Jiangjian remembered that Zhou Heng was escorting Wang Qingqing's departure yesterday.
Now a whole day had passed!
You have to make it!
.....
Although Da Qi was a society similar to ancient China, the road conditions were very good.
In Zhou Heng's opinion, the smoothness of this road was even comparable to the modern tarmac of Earth.
This was somewhat magical.
Therefore, their group was not slow, having completed almost half of the journey after only one day.
Victory was just ahead.
The only thing that made Zhou feel a little more uncomfortable was that this Miss Wang seemed a little too enthusiastic.
When the team stopped for a break, or when it was time to eat.
She always liked to take the initiative to come over by herself, either sitting next to Zhou Heng and slowly closing the distance, or pretending to inadvertently fall over and just happen to fall back to Zhou Heng's side.
If Sun Zhengping were here, he would probably go crazy with joy.
Unfortunately, Zhou Heng only wanted to have a purely monetary deal with Wang Qingqing, and was completely woodenly interested in anything else.
Night fell and the wind whistled.
This was a roadside wilderness, with the mountain forest ahead, and the howling of wolves could be faintly heard.
As a protected eldest miss, Wang Qingqing was undoubtedly sleeping in the carriage, with a servant girl waiting by her side.
Guards like Zhou Heng, on the other hand, could only guard the carriage outside and occasionally take a nap.
As the moon approached mid-day, the midnight hour.
Zhou Heng was planning to close his eyes and squint for a while, when he suddenly felt as if his consciousness was being pulled by something, as if he was trying to hook himself out of some kind of emotion.
In just a short while, he felt an inexplicable fire rising in his chest and abdomen, and his face suddenly became hot as he looked towards Wang Qingqing's sleeping carriage.
"Chen Hongyu is using the martial art, "Mind Regaining and Refining Desire Great Law" [Seventh Item] to spiritually attack you, your mental toughness counteracts some of the effects on the The proficiency of "The Great Law of Taking in the Heart and Refining Desires" +0.0001."
The system prompt suddenly rang out.
Zhou Heng regained consciousness with a jolt, and he fiercely thought of what Yu He had casually said earlier to scare him.
Chen Hanyu!
The 34th best on the list of people!
Seven Pints!
A true disciple of the Saffron Palace!
Just at this time, a soft and feminine voice suddenly came from the carriage, and with a few grudges and a few expectations, it sounded like it was making one's heart go numb.
"Duke, it's late at night and dewy, prone to wind chill, won't you come in and warm up for a while?"
