Chapter 14 Departure
After hearing Jinchun's words, the village chief looked at Jiang Yuan carefully, then nodded with satisfaction and said, "He does look much stronger than when he first arrived here."
Jinchun held his chin up, a smile flashed in his eyes, and said, "That's right, don't you see how much effort I put in?"
At this point, she suddenly had an idea. She looked at the village chief with some ill intentions and asked, "Village chief, how about you try out the results of her practice? If the results are good, let her set out to find the seven tribes tomorrow!"
The village chief suddenly became interested, stroked his beard and asked, "How do we try it?"
"It's very simple." Jinchun said, taking out a dagger and placing it on the stone table. Seeing that the village chief and Jiang Yuan were stunned, he explained: "This large repair technique is a technique recorded by Qing Si based on the inheritance of divine consciousness. Only humans can practice it. No matter how big the wound or how wide the gap is, it can be repaired. However, the time and range of the repair are determined by the physical strength of the practitioner."
After that, she looked at Jiang Yuan and asked, "Do you still remember how to perform that spell?"
Jiang Yuan nodded.
During this month, she practiced this technique almost every day. While practicing, she also had to listen to her talk about the precautions of living in the demon tribe. In addition to these, she also had to learn some basic enemy moves after running five kilometers every day.
And Big Cat has suffered a lot during this month following her.
She learned from Elder Jinchun that the big cat now possessed magical powers and was no longer an ordinary cat. This might be the reason for its current huge size. Therefore, as long as it was trained a little, it would definitely be a powerful helper in the future.
After seeking Big Cat's opinion, Elder Jinchun developed a series of training plans for it.
But she later asked Elder Jinchun: If only people chosen by divine consciousness can come to this world, then why did Big Cat follow her through time and space?
But this question has not been answered yet.
The village chief thought about it for a moment, then picked up the dagger and slashed it heavily across the palm of his right hand. The next second, drops of blood fell from his hand to the ground.
Normally, if he had this kind of wound, he would use his own demonic power to heal it in a few breaths, and there would be no trace of the wound at all.
But this time, he did not use his magic power to treat it. Instead, he stretched out his hand in the direction of Jinchun and Guiyuan and said, "Then let me see it for myself. I hope I won't be disappointed."
Jiang Yuan glanced at Jinchun and saw her nod, then she stood up from the stone table and walked to the village chief.
She looked carefully at the wound on his hand. It was still bleeding. The wound was about three inches long and had a strong smell of sheep.
She frowned slightly, trying to calm herself down, then formed seals with her hands, placed them in front of her, and closed her eyes.
First, she had to sense the spiritual consciousness in her body, because this was her only source of power now.
When she found a faint green light above her heart, she immediately changed several hand seals and murmured, "Concentrate your thoughts and focus your mind, and think of the truth. Heaven will grant you spirit, and earth will give you beauty. Cleanse the dust, repair the gaps, and return to the original nature."
After she finished reciting the incantation, green spots of light gradually appeared between her hands. As Jiang Yuan's mind moved, those green spots of light floated towards the wound on the village chief's palm.
After a minute, the green light spots gradually stopped appearing. At this time, there was no scar left on the village chief's palm. Only the clear mark between the hairs on his palm proved that the wound had existed... The moment Jiang Yuan opened his eyes, he looked at the village chief's hand. After seeing it healed, he looked at Jinchun excitedly and said, "Master Jinchun, I succeeded!"
Jinchun nodded with satisfaction, smiled, and praised him: "Not bad, since you have learned it once, you can learn it countless times in the future."
The village chief paused for a moment while stroking his beard, as if he had suddenly realized something. He said to Jiang Yuan, "So that means you were using it for the first time, too!"
He looked at Jinchun, snorted at first, then blew his beard and glared, saying: "You are so good, Jinchun, you actually used me to test this magic."
Jinchun looked at him calmly and said, "This can only be regarded as my revenge for you saying bad things about me everywhere."
The village chief blushed and decided not to bother with her.
Even if I try to argue, I still can’t win!
After resolving the matter, she sent Jiang Yuan and Da Miao back to the village. How to arrange things next was no longer her business.
Thinking of this, Jinchun stood up and said, "I'm going back to Longquan Forest first. Jiang Yuan, be careful."
Jiang Yuan nodded seriously to show that he understood.
Looking at the direction where Jinchun left, Jiang Yuan suddenly remembered the wooden house in Longquan Forest. It should be where Elder Jinchun had been living. But what she found strange was that the village was not too big for her to live in. Why did she...
Thinking of this, she asked the village chief.
The village chief looked disappointed and replied, "To enter our village, you must first cross two barriers, one is the Longquan Forest, and the other is the Qingshi Archway."
Having said that, he turned around and sat back at the stone table, and continued, "This Longquan Forest is densely covered with maple trees. There are countless traps in the forest. Occasionally, it is covered with fog, making it difficult for outsiders to enter. Elder Jinchun has been practicing for thousands of years. Since the establishment of the Monster Village, he has been guarding the Longquan Forest outside the village."
He sighed, his eyes full of respect, and continued, "As for the second line of defense, that is the bluestone archway, it stands on the lawn behind Longquan Forest, and only Jinchun can open it."
Now that things have come to this, the village chief had to say a few more words: "After you leave the village, if you come back here one day, you must remember one thing. The bluestone archway is the entrance, you can only enter, and Grandpa Cangshu is the exit, you can only leave."
Jiang Yuan kept every word they said in mind.
Remembering what Cheng Ju had said before he left, he took out the token and sighed: If Cheng Ju had left half an hour later, he would have been able to take Jiang Yuan and the cat away.
He handed the token to Jiang Yuan, and when she took it, he explained, "With this token, you can travel freely in the Imperial City of Cat Country. If you run into trouble, you can also take it to the Minister's Mansion to visit a Minister named Cheng Ju."
The token was engraved with the word "emperor" in demonic script, and there was a small hole at the tip, through which a thin red string was passed. Fortunately, the token was not big or heavy, so she thought about it and tied it around her neck.
After giving all the instructions he could, the village chief stood up and walked towards the house, while Jiang Yuan and Da Mao watched his back.
Just as the village chief walked to the threshold and was about to push the door open, he seemed to remember something and reminded, "By the way, before you leave the village, don't forget to say goodbye to everyone..."
