He started chanting the spell, and a layer of magic wind protected him. Then the magic robe on his body flashed, and at the same time, the whole person rushed forward at a very fast speed, and he didn't know when he had already grasped the golden sword tightly in his hand.

The golden light flashed away, and Lu Zhong appeared in front of the ink-faced old man across a distance of tens of feet.

A sword was swung out and struck at the astonished old man.

Unexpectedly, a protective shield suddenly appeared and blocked the sword.

Lu Zhong was not surprised by this. After all, the puppet master was not a fool. How could he not be prepared for his own weaknesses? It was not surprising that he had a protective jade talisman.

Holding back the severe pain caused by the tearing of his body, a blue magic sword condensed in his hand.

"Whoa!" A sword hit the shield.

The protective shield was more fragile than Lu Zhong imagined. It was obviously just an ordinary protective jade talisman. It could block a blow from the Golden Sword, but it could not block a blow from the Chi Yang Magic Sword.

With a "Puff" sound, the feeling of the sword blade penetrating into the flesh came, and the ink-faced old man was pierced through the Dantian with a sword.

Before he could utter a word of begging for mercy, another blue sword shadow passed by in the next moment.

Suddenly, a head flew high into the sky.

Lu Zhong threw away the magic sword in his hand and showed no expression on his face.

Seeing that the mechanical beasts had collapsed due to lack of control, he began to search the ink-faced old man.

Everything was put into the storage bag by the other party.

There are only two magical artifacts inside. Although both of them are low-grade magical artifacts, the degree of wear and tear of the magical artifacts is not high and they can be resold for a good price.

Two spare jade charms for protection.

The talisman contains three golden light talismans and several other cleaning talismans and candlelight talismans.

There are ninety-three spiritual stones.

In addition, there were puppets and machine beasts that Lu Zhong could not recognize. There were more than twenty pieces of them in total, but most of them were auxiliary machine beasts without combat power.

I also found a three-finger thick classic book. The name of the book is not fancy at all. It is called "Introduction to Puppet and Machine Beasts". The content is about how to make puppets and machine beasts.

A cursory reading shows that most of the ink-faced old man’s puppet machine beasts come from this book.

After putting the things away, Lu Zhong couldn't help but laugh.

It turned out to be a boy who gave away money!

…

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

After days of traveling, Lv Zhong, who was tired of traveling, finally saw Yongling City.

Yongling City is built on a plain area with dense river networks. It is a huge and prosperous metropolis. The buildings become taller as you move towards the center of the city. It happens to be night time, and the lights are brightly lit everywhere in the city, which can illuminate half of the sky.

Like daytime.

Walking on the hardened road that extended out from the city like a spider web, with glowing street lights at regular intervals, Lu Zhong suddenly felt a strong sense of unreality about what he saw.

To be honest, compared with the ridiculously prosperous Yongling City, there is Qingliufang City, which is full of Jiangnan water town style, or Yanlingshanfang City, which has ancient and simple architectural styles. The latter two are both built in dangerous places.

In the wilderness, this is more in line with his imagination of the world of cultivation.

But the Yongling City in front of him completely subverted his understanding.

"Is this Yongling City?" Lu Zhong murmured.

"Yes, this is Yongling City."

I don't know when a four-wheeled carriage loaded with talisman stopped next to it. A big man driving it said with a hearty smile: "Brother, I see you are tired from walking. Why don't you come up and sit down?"

"Brother, can you come and sit down?" A little girl holding a doll next to her also extended the invitation with a smile and patted the dust on the seat next to her. She was so enthusiastic that it was hard to refuse.

Lu Zhong did not respond immediately, but looked at the two of them with a smile.

At this moment, in the vision of the Qi Watching Technique, the bodies of both of them were dark.

Are they a mortal father and daughter?

They didn't seem to notice my identity as a monk. Could it be that my outfit was too down-to-earth?

Lu Zhong thought to himself, feeling a little moved by the invitation from the two of them.

Sometimes, experiencing life more can be of great benefit to your mental state.

He pinched it again to detect malice and confirmed that there was really no problem between the two of them.

Then a smile appeared on his face for the first time in a long time, and he said with a smile: "Thank you, brother!"

"Hahaha, why are you so polite!"

"Uu——!"

The big man shouted, and the two old horses pulling the carriage stepped forward. The huge carriage started moving again, speeding on the flat and solid hard ground.

"This car is really good, smooth and stable." Lu Zhong praised.

"Definitely!" The little girl holding the doll next to her looked proud and said like a treasure: "The wheels are made of Haiyue glue, so you don't have to worry about bumps when walking on the road. The axle is made of hundred-forged fine steel.

One of them can hold up to ten ordinary axles, and it is also equipped with good iron spring shock absorbers. Daddy treats it better than me!"

When the little girl said this, she looked very angry, like a jealous little girl.

"Pfft, little brother, don't listen to me." The big man driving the car couldn't stand it any longer. He quickly stopped drinking water and explained: "It's not that I want to spend more money, bro, but it's not possible if I don't reduce my capital. It's like pulling the strings now.

This cart of talisman grass, I heard that the talisman paper made of it is better than the talisman skin, but I am too delicate and can't bear the bumps. You said that if I don't upgrade the wheel shock absorbers, I can pull a cart like this... this

Is it easy to count?"

Seeing the other party making a sign of six, Lu Zhong thought that this should be the meaning of six talisman coins.

Six Talisman money is indeed a lot for a mortal.

"I think so." Lu Zhong agreed.
