Chapter 14 Magic Mark
"Since you know I'm busy, don't waste my time talking nonsense, can we go now?"
"You are really out of breath when you say you are fat? Do you really think of yourself as a holy scribe? Let me tell you, even if you get the holy seal of true life, whether you can be promoted to a holy scribe is a matter of the future. Now you It’s just a rookie scribe who doesn’t have a first rank and hasn’t learned any techniques yet. If you really encounter a monster, without us protecting you, you won’t even know how you will die. At that time, you won’t be a scribe of the holy rank, but it’s just a monster in the belly of the monster. A pile of shit." Ma Chunhu snorted angrily.
"Differences do not conspire with each other." Bai Cangdong turned and left.
"Ma Chunhu was just speaking out of anger, brother-in-law, don't worry if you have a lot, it's important for us to hunt monsters." Gong Wanyun hurriedly pulled Bai Cangdong to persuade her, and she was secretly angry: "You people are really short-sighted, Bai Cangdong has already obtained the seal of the Holy Order of True Fate, even if he is just lucky for a while, it is also the Seal of the Holy Order of True Fate, and now he is invited to join Nanli Academy. There is absolutely no problem in being promoted to a real person, and there is a great chance of being a sage, so if you offend him like this now, isn’t it causing trouble for yourself in the future?”
"Yeah, let's hurry up and get on the road. If it is any later, it will be tomorrow night when we arrive at Mingjing Lake, and we will waste another night and can't do anything." Gong Yuhai also came out to smooth things over.
Gong Wanyun dragged Bai Cangdong into the beast cart, and several others got on too. Only Ma Chunhu was driving outside, and the group headed towards Mingjing Lake.
After driving for a day and a night, at dawn, Bai Cangdong, sitting in the beast car, saw a large lake with endless silver scales in the distance. On a black rocky island in the lake, there seemed to be a monster several tens of feet high. His huge black eyes hung in the air, looking very strange.
Bai Cangdong carefully looked at the huge black eyes hanging in mid-air, and felt like a black hole. When his eyes fell on it, it seemed to be sucked in. No matter how he looked, he couldn't tell what was going on there.
This is the first time that Bai Cangdong has seen the magic mark with his own eyes. The so-called magic mark is actually a crack in space. Monsters enter the holy world through the magic mark. There are countless magic marks in the entire holy world, and some magic marks will gradually stabilize due to space. And disappear, and some places without magic marks will also produce magic marks because of the destruction of the space.
The magic scar in Mingjing Lake has existed for more than ten years, and it has been relatively stable since the magic scar is not big. Those who can reach the holy world through this magic scar are some scribe-level monsters.
The Gong family dispatched a vassal family to station at the edge of Mingjing Lake and built a village. While observing the magic marks, they were also responsible for cleaning up the monsters that rushed out of the magic marks.
Bai Cangdong and his party arrived at the residence by Mingjing Lake, and after showing their identity tokens, the head of the Li clan who was stationed here led people to greet them in person.
"Director Song has informed us that several young masters and young ladies are coming. I have already arranged the boat, and several young masters and young ladies can go to the island with the demon squad." There are many scribes waiting in groups of three or five on wooden boats.
Several people from Bai Cangdong boarded a wooden boat. Li Pingzhong gave an order, and a dozen wooden boats rowed towards the lake center island at high speed, getting closer and closer to the lake center island.
After arriving at the island in the middle of the lake, those Li family children who disembarked first gathered on the shore, and as soon as Bai Cangdong and the others landed, a group of people surrounded them.
Bai Cangdong and the others were a little surprised that the scribes of the demon squad from the Li family didn't go to patrol the island to hunt monsters, what did they do around them like visiting animals.
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy with bright black eyes and a shrewd spirit walked up to Bai Cangdong in two steps, and said excitedly, "Are you that young master Bai who speaks so shockingly?"
"I don't dare to say a word that shocks the heavens. If you are talking about the poem that fears the heavens, it is indeed my composition." Bai Cangdong said.
"Ah, it's really you, Young Master Bai. We all like your poem very much. The dangerous building is a hundred feet high, and the stars can be picked by your hands. Don't dare to speak loudly, for fear of frightening the heavenly beings. What kind of artistic conception is that, what kind of Every time we climbed to the top of Yucomb Mountain at night and saw the sky full of stars, we couldn't help but think of your poem, as if our own realm was a little higher..." The young man of the Li family was a little excited Incoherent.
Many scribes beside him also echoed, as if they all liked Bai Cangdong's poems very much.
"Young Master Bai, I like your sentence better: life should be as gorgeous as summer flowers, and death should be as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves. I have never read a poem that can describe life and death so beautifully." Similar girl with somewhat similar looks looked at Bai Cangdong with admiration, and said with a blushing face.
Seeing the scribes of the Li family's demon squad surrounding Bai Cangdong like stars holding the moon, Gong Sujun, Gong Yuhai, Ma Chunhu, and Zhao Mingfeng all changed their expressions slightly.
They didn't expect that Bai Cangdong would have such popularity and prestige among the affiliated families of the Gong family. I'm afraid that even if a real person from the Gong family came here, he might not be so sought after.
"Are we here to chat, or to hunt monsters?" Ma Chunhu snorted coldly.
"Don't worry about hunting monsters. Monsters will emerge from the magic scars here every morning. They don't come out of Jade Comb Mountain so quickly. If you can't wait, you can go over Jade Comb Mountain to find them by yourself .” The former boy raised his eyebrows and said.
"You..." Ma Chunhu was furious at the young man's rebuke, and was about to say something but was interrupted by Bai Cangdong.
"Zhufeng, Xiaoyu, since we have known each other, we will have plenty of time in the future. Let's hunt monsters first. After we go back, it's not too late for us to make a few pots of good tea and then talk about it." Bai Cangdong smiled.
Just now, Bai Cangdong already knew that the boy was called Li Zhufeng, and the girl was called Li Xiaoyu. They were a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses born to the head of the Li family, Li Pingzhong. stand out.
"Okay, Young Master Bai, we will open the way for you." Li Zhufeng responded, and called the members of the Li family's demon squad to open the way for Bai Cangdong.
The island in the center of Mingjing Lake is an island formed by protruding mountains. The winding mountains occupy most of the island, and at the same time divide the island. The monsters that rushed out of the magic marks fell on the other side. To be able to see them, or wait for them to climb over the mountains and come out by themselves.
Bai Cangdong and the others couldn't wait for the monster to come out, so they were about to climb over Yushu Mountain to hunt the monster, but they had just reached the top of the mountain, and the sight in front of them made everyone's eyes widen in surprise, and everyone's expressions changed.
