D City Dungeon Opened (Two-in-One)
"Um."
Jiang Miao closed the door and walked to the living room, watching him slowly sit up, rubbing his temples gently with his fingers: "Glad you're back."
She was a little surprised. What nonsense was he talking about?
Feeling the spiritual energy leaking out from the opposite side, Su Heng's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
When she left yesterday, his consciousness had almost recovered and there was no particular pain, so the feeling was not very obvious. However, today, he could clearly feel the pain of his body being torn apart. The vague spiritual energy faded and disappeared with her departure, and the time it took for his body to recover was also significantly extended.
Su Heng suppressed his doubts, straightened his robes and sat on the sofa: "I see you hide during the day and come out at night, do you have time to learn swordsmanship today?"
"Yes!" Jiang Miao subconsciously wanted to pretend to go to the bedroom to get the sword and swordsmanship, but then he thought that it was not like this master had never seen it before, so he simply didn't bother and took out the Huaying Sword and sword manual directly from the space.
"Let's see your sword moves first." Su Heng was young but had a high level of cultivation and was promoted smoothly to become an elder of a sect. He had countless disciples but no one had ever been taught by him personally.
Jiang Miao took a deep breath, clenched the Huaying Sword tightly, and began to practice the results of her practice over the past few days. As expected, she received a frown from the other party.
"My body movements are flawed, my sword moves are sluggish, my meridians are not stretched, and my sword moves are weak."
When it came to the business, the Immortal Lord Su Heng, who was usually indifferent and nonchalant about everything, finally showed the majesty of an elder. With a few words, he refuted Jiang Miao so much that he was speechless and dared not to object.
"Hold the sword." Su Heng stood up and walked to her side. He raised his right hand and swung the sword energy of Ling Jue Sword Technique in the air while enduring the pain in his soul: "Familiarize yourself with the basic sword moves first."
A short-sleeved man in a golden color floating in the air was practicing sword moves with a sword. Jiang Miao was stunned by the high technology that could break through the dimension, and his nostrils were filled with a familiar cold fragrance.
"A holographic projection?"
Su Heng frowned: "What?"
"Isn't it?" This little guy was even very smart. Seeing that Jiang Miao didn't move, he stopped and urged him.
"It's just ordinary puppetry." Su Heng returned to the sofa and closed his eyes to rest: "You practice first."
Although she was shocked, confused, and completely overwhelmed by her cognition, Jiang Miao was still clear-headed. She knew that this kind of thing was rare, so she immediately focused her attention and devoted herself to learning every move that the golden little man taught her.
Su Heng once again endured the pain in his consciousness, closed his eyes and felt the faint spiritual energy around him, becoming more certain that it was coming from the sword-practicing girl not far away.
It's called spiritual energy, but someone as sensitive as Su Heng feels that it's more like a sedative. As long as he's around her, the suppression of the world's rules on his consciousness and body will be reduced, and the pain that reminds him all the time will naturally be relieved.
Is she not bound by the rules of this world? Or is there something else going on?
After pondering to no avail, Su Heng stopped worrying about it and went to recuperate.
The temperature finally began to drop slowly in March and April. While the municipal authorities were breathing a sigh of relief, they stepped up their efforts to restore urban construction and maintain social order as much as possible. Many people who survived this natural disaster cried bitterly and looked forward to returning to their normal lives.
Jiang Miao has been practicing sword with the little golden man in the living room these days. Su Heng is sometimes awake and sometimes sleepy, but he can give some pointers every day when he wakes up and fulfill his teaching duties.
And through the daily casual chats, Jiang Miao finally realized that the strange fragrance assassin who had made him feel like he was facing a formidable enemy at the time was just a misunderstanding.
As far as Su Heng knew, they had met by chance three times, including the time at the museum.
The first time I met her was in a small garden with beautiful scenery. She was putting many furniture and decorations here into storage rings.
When he encountered this kind of magic, he thought that the little girl was the one who fell into this world from the same place as him, so he sent a secret message to recognize her, but he scared the girl away.
With so many things disappearing for no apparent reason, the people in the manor thought the place was haunted and moved away in a hurry. The empty house was requisitioned by the government and many refugees were taken in. He had to build a clean and quiet cave to accommodate them.
The second time was in a building in the South City Commercial District. After the apocalypse, this was probably the place with the least population in the city. He found a quiet place and set up restrictions, but soon after, the immortal magic restrictions were easily broken by her and she killed someone here.
The rotting corpses made the entire space smell fishy and pungent, so Su Heng had to move again and finally found a permanent and stable place - a museum.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long and I ran into her again.
Jiang Miao was shocked when he heard about it: "..."
Because so, although but, okay.
After knowing the whole story, Jiang Miao's fear and vigilance towards him finally eased a little, but the relationship between them was only limited to the scope of strangers and roommates.
However, Jiang Miao saw that he had not washed for several days but still looked fresh, and she had never seen him eat or drink but he did not show any signs of hunger or thirst. And the holographic projection of the little golden man that directly shattered her worldview with one hand showed that his identity was not simple.
The more she interacted with Jiang Miao, the more shocked she was by the things that happened to him, but she still adhered to the principle that curiosity kills the cat and tried not to ask too many questions.
But even so, Jiang Miao still inferred from his words such as "this lord", "our sect", and "disciple" that Su Heng might be a cultivator who accidentally came in from some immortal cultivation world and did not even have the slightest intention of hiding his identity.
To be honest, it's already the end of the world. She has been reborn, so why can't God send a time traveler?
Jiang Miao accepted it very well and his attitude became more respectful than ever before.
It's not for anything else. I heard that immortal cultivators are all immortal monsters who are hundreds or thousands of years old. Su Heng looks like a handsome man, but he may be seven or eight hundred years old. Since he can be her ancestor's teacher, she naturally has to respect him more.
April 28th, it has been exactly one year since Jiang Miao was reborn.
Looking at the temperature recording curve in his hand, the daytime temperature is expected to return to around 50 degrees in early May, and the night temperature can drop below 40 degrees. This temperature is barely acceptable for long-distance driving and will not cause spontaneous combustion or explosion. Jiang Miao began to prepare to go to City D.
City D is about 300 kilometers away from Ancheng. It takes about three hours to drive there by highway. The network is down now, and we don’t know how deep the water is at the film and television city. We have to go and check it out first.
Jiang Miao asked for leave from Teacher Su, saying that he would be going on a long trip and might not be back for two or three days.
"Three days?" Su Heng was a little repulsed. The feeling of not being suppressed by the rules around her was extremely comfortable. As long as he didn't use his spiritual power improperly and didn't overwork the world's rules, the backlash would not increase.
Now she would be gone for three days, and during these three days he would have to lie on the chopping board like a dead fish, motionless, but Su Heng was unwilling to do that.
So, "I'm with you."
"Hmm?" Jiang Miao had never thought of asking him to go with her. This guy just slept all day long. He looked lazy and didn't care about anything. He even had some uncontrollable attributes.
Could it be, "You haven't collected all the supplies yet?"
“I haven’t been there, I want to take a look.”
So willful.
Although Jiang Miao has benefited a lot from his guidance these days, many of his incorrect force postures and sword arcs have been corrected by him one by one, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is his mentor.
But one thing is for sure, going out alone to look for supplies has become a habit for her since her rebirth, so she naturally rejected Su Heng's proposal.
Su Heng frowned, thought for a moment and took out a jade pill bottle from his storage ring: "This is the meridian cleansing pill, which can help you widen your meridians and strengthen your physique. How about I use this in exchange for you to go with me?" "No problem."
Any hesitation for even a second longer would be disrespectful to the elixir.
Aren’t we just going to City D together? Why not travel together and have more people to look after us?
The jade bottle felt cool and moist to the touch, and it was obviously a top-grade elixir. Jiang Miao opened the lid and a refreshing plant fragrance filled the air, which was sweeter and more mellow than any delicacy she had ever tasted!
She was satisfied, and Su Heng was also satisfied. It was a good deal to exchange a bottle of elixir for three days of not being suppressed by the rules.
Jiang Miao hesitated for a moment before taking the medicine, but finally she chose to swallow it.
One is that they had been together for many days. If Su Heng wanted to kill her, he would not bother to use such a difficult method as poisoning.
The second reason is that she really wants to strengthen her physique. Sword skills and gun skills are only auxiliary. Only if she is strong enough can she live longer in this world.
When Jiang Miao put the light green pill with a faint fluorescent glow into his mouth, he felt the refreshing fragrance instantly fill his nose from his mouth, and then his whole body felt like it was soaking in a hot spring pool, revealing a sense of relaxation and tenderness that was beyond words.
"It feels so comfortable." She murmured unconsciously, closing her eyes and feeling her bones getting sore and numb and then gradually becoming solid. This very direct and obvious physical change brought her physical and mental pleasure to the maximum!
She discovered during sword practice that even if she swung her sword at the same precise angle as Su Heng, the lethality and deterrent power were less than one-tenth of his. The gap in physical fitness was a curse that she had always wanted to overcome but could not. Now, there was finally a solution!
Su Heng reminded her that after an outer sect disciple takes this medicine for the first time, the impurities in his body will be forcibly expelled by the pure energy in the body and precipitated out from the skin.
After hearing this, Jiang Miao really felt her wrists and the back of her neck begin to itch, and she hurried back to the bedroom to prepare for a bath. Before leaving, she suddenly paused, turned around and bowed: "Thank you, sir, for the medicine."
In the past, Jiang Miao always called him Mr. Su, politely but with a sense of distance, but now he called him Mr. with sincerity and gratitude.
When she returned to the bedroom and before she could fill up the water, dark brown mud had already appeared on the back of her hand, dripping along her fingertips onto the bathroom floor.
Jiang Miao took out the bathtub and washed three tanks of black water, so that the water inside was not so turbid.
Then she stood in the daily shower and washed herself again with shower gel. She could clearly feel that her skin became more delicate and smooth, and her muscles were unusually refined and firm!
After putting on her pajamas, Jiang Miao wanted to test her current strength, but there was no dynamometer like the one in a boxing gym in the space, so she took out a wooden board and a dagger from the space, stood at the same distance as under the bridge hole and flew over.
The sound of the dagger piercing the air echoed in the bedroom. The sharp tip of the knife penetrated the wooden board directly into the handle, and a crack spread five or six centimeters up and down along the blade!
This isn't just penetrating deeply into the wood, it's piercing right through!
With his body full of strength, Jiang Miao became more and more confident, believing that his road to doomsday in the next few years would go further and more smoothly than in his previous life!
The next day, Jiang Miao went to 1101 first to explain to Li Chongyu and lent him a pager, telling him that he would be out for a few days for something and to notify her if any suspicious person came during those days.
Li Chongyu expressed his understanding and provided Jiang Miao with a batch of sleeve arrows and crossbows with different totems painted on them according to her requirements.
After getting the arrow, Jiang Miao observed it carefully and felt that this boy was really good at using cold weapons. No one could tell that these arrows were made by the same person.
"Sister Miao, why do I feel like you've grown taller?" Li Chongyu stood on tiptoe to take a look, then bent over to take a look: "Are you wearing any insoles today?"
"An illusion." After taking the Cleansing Meridians and Marrow Eliminating Pill, the impurities in her body were removed. At the age of 19, her body, which had not yet passed the bone line closure period, experienced three small growth peaks and grew by five centimeters. Now her height has soared to 1.68 meters.
"Labor fee." Jiang Miao handed over the plastic bag and the dagger whose handle and blade were disconnected because of the excessive force yesterday: "Fix this one too."
Li Chongyu was sweating as he gripped the loose handle, and he had a new understanding of the killing power of the faint smoke.
"Let's go." At the door, Su Heng stood with his hands behind his back. The brilliant glow of dusk fell on his moon-white robe, making him look particularly gentle.
Before Li Chongyu could see the face of the person opposite him, he was already impressed by his courage to wear a long robe with long sleeves in the temperature of 40 or 50 degrees.
"I'm leaving first! Contact me on the pager if you have anything." Jiang Miao hurried out and closed the door, blocking Li Chongyu's eager gaze.
This was one of the reasons why she refused to go out with Su Heng! Who would be so conspicuous with long hair and long robes in the hot summer! Once she went out, she would be the center of attention and the focus of everyone's attention!
The problem is that this old man is still very stubborn and old-fashioned. He said that he doesn't mind and will not interfere with the fact that everyone in the world is scantily clad, but don't restrict his freedom of dress either.
WTF! Where did you learn this new word?
Jiang Miao had nothing to say and could only follow him.
Get the Hummer out of the garage and fill it with gas.
Su Heng's attention was quickly attracted by this big guy.
Last time, he was dying because he used too much spiritual energy, and he didn't pay much attention to the things around him. Now, seeing this modern and technologically advanced means of transportation, he was amazed: "You people here are really smart. It's not a problem to travel a thousand miles a day like this."
Jiang Miao agreed that human beings are inherently keen on inventions and creations, and technology changing lives is more than just a gg word.
The Hummer drove out of the garage, and Su Heng naturally sat in the back seat. Jiang Miao also worked hard as a driver. Along the way, Su Heng closed his eyes to rest, and Jiang Miao also paid full attention to the condition of the car.
After the hail, the municipal departments did not have time to maintain many sections of highways around Ancheng, so the road was bumpy and not very good. It was not until we drove out of the administrative area of Ancheng that the road surface became smooth.
City D is an inland city with many Qiulin Mountains in its urban landscape. In addition to being a nationally renowned film and television base, its traditional Chinese medicine is also well-known throughout the country.
Jiang Miao operated the map with one hand and lamented that without satellite positioning, it was really troublesome to use maps while driving.
There were not many people driving on the highway because of the doomsday, but thanks to Jiang Miao's tough Hummer, which looked tough as nails, he didn't have time to do anything to the several criminal gangs who wanted to rob his car when he encountered them along the way.
The moon was high in the sky, and we finally arrived in City D before midnight.
The temperature dropped to around 40 degrees at night, and most people went out to gather on the street, either walking to get some fresh air or shouting at stalls. Jiang Miao had a clear purpose and drove all the way to the film and television city in the suburbs.
From the map, we can see that the film and television city covers an area of 30 square kilometers, has more than ten scenic spots and attractions, can accommodate more than ten crews shooting at the same time, and there are costume factories and prop factories everywhere.
But Jiang Miao just wanted some special effects props for camouflage, such as a bald head, a beard, silicone clay that can be stuck to the face, etc.
The moonlight tonight is not as bright as when the temperature is fifty or sixty degrees. Jiang Miao turned on the low beam and drove into the film and television city while paying attention to the GG on the wall and the scenic area sign.
Su Heng closed his eyes and lay in the car without saying a word. Jiang Miao was also happy that this old man could spend his retirement in the car: "Wait for me here for a while, I'll be back soon."
"Hmm." Su Heng had no objection, and even specifically reminded her: "Be careful." If she died, she would have to endure the rest of her life.
"Yeah." Jiang Miao parked the car in a secluded place, unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car and asked someone about the situation.
There weren't as many people in the film and television city as in the city, but there were at least four or five stalls selling things on one street. Jiang Miao put on a baseball cap and a mask and walked over. Most of the stalls sold food or daily necessities, but nothing she wanted.
After going around two more streets, they arrived at the Republic of China Scenic Area. There were buildings here similar to those in Shanghai, and everything was full of a sense of the times. Jiang Miao looked at this street, which obviously had more people than on other streets, and he intuitively felt that what he was looking for was definitely here.
"Take a look, all kinds of wigs! Only half a pound of rice!"
She had a lot of wigs in her hands, but she didn't join in the fun.
"Knight costume, cape, wide-brimmed hat! Don't miss it if you pass by!"
This kind of prop that is essential for showing off is not suitable for Jiang Miao, so she did not stop to look at it.
Seeing her walking alone past many stalls without buying anything, a middleman quietly followed her. When Jiang Miao stopped, he quickly approached her and said, "Customer, what do you want to buy? I'll help you find it."
It is true that there is no shortage of such middlemen at any time or place.
Jiang Miao told him what she needed. The young man seemed to know the place well and immediately took her to a store.
There were kerosene lamps lit in this place, and there was a faint smell of oil in the air. It was said to be lamp oil, but to Jiang Miao it felt more like firearms or fuel oil.
A silenced pistol appeared silently at his waist. Jiang Miao remained alert and followed the young man step by step to the counter.
"Brother Ming! Hey, business is coming."
Behind the counter, there is a bearded man lying on a rocking chair, next to him is a semi-automatic fan. When the chair is rocked, the fan starts moving, which is a very good tool for cooling off in doomsday.
The bearded man raised his head slightly, glanced at the plainly dressed customer in front of him, and said impatiently: "Skinny monkey, why do people come to me to get things? I told you, my prices are not cheap."
The skinny monkey was a little speechless. He looked at Jiang Miao and then at the bearded man: "Brother Ming, you don't want to do this business even though they haven't asked the price. Aren't you afraid of offending the God of Wealth?"
"My stuff is unique in the whole film and television city, and I'm the only one who can make it! Lots of people are looking for me to do this business, so what else do I need?"
I don’t know if it’s really that rare or if they are just raising the price in disguise. Jiang Miao has seen all kinds of people in his previous life and he also met such crazy craftsmen, but their endings were not good.
"Tell me what you bought first." Jiang Miao took out a butterfly knife, made a beautiful pattern with it, and then nailed it on the counter with a 'click'.
Seeing her skillful movements, the bearded man finally paid some attention to her: "I make silicone portrait headgear here, one-to-one customization, and the price was not cheap before the end of the world. Now you have to exchange it with rare materials."
This thing is considered the most powerful weapon for robbing and concealing one's appearance. Since the end of the world, various masters, bigwigs and even the military have come from far away to order this thing from him, which shows how important it is.
"What supplies?"
"Salt, sugar, tobacco, alcohol, tea, gold are all fine, in varying quantities. Do you have any of those?"
Jiang Miao recalled his supplies: "I have both salt and sugar."
The bearded man squinted his eyes and calculated: "Ten kilograms of salt plus twenty kilograms of sugar is about right."
What? Are you really taking her for a fool? Ten kilograms of salt can be exchanged for a hunting rifle. How can this thing of his be more valuable than a gun?
"Eight catties of salt and fifteen catties of sugar. Is there any more?"
The bearded man seemed reluctant. Jiang Miao looked around the small shop and added, "I want three sets."
Of course, it would save a lot of materials to make three sets of molds from one mold. The bearded man thought that he could make a lot of money and agreed, "Deal!"
As per the rules, the bearded man gave the skinny monkey half a pound of rice as an introduction fee, and took Jiang Miao out of the store and to the studio on the street behind. As he opened the door, he said, "My daughter is at home. If you have anything to say later, don't tell her at home."
Jiang Miao expressed his understanding: "Yes."
"dad!"
"Hey, baby, what book did you read today?"
The child is about five or six years old, with an innocent and hazy look, and is naive in her appearance. She is also dressed very neatly in the apocalypse. It can be seen that although the bearded father looks rough himself, he is very careful in raising his daughter.
"Baby watched cartoons and read books today!"
"How nice! You play over there first, I'll make you something delicious after I finish my work!"
"Okay!"
The little boy sat obediently holding his rabbit doll and watching his father work. The bearded man asked Jiang Miao to sit in the salon chair and take off his hat and mask.
After the meridian cleansing and marrow cleaning, Jiang Miao's skin condition and spirit are clearer and fuller than before. Although her facial features are exactly the same, she looks much more beautiful, especially in the end of the world when people are starving.
The bearded man was secretly shocked and felt fortunate that he had not said anything too extreme in the shop. To be able to live so well in the doomsday, he was definitely not an ordinary person!
He wrapped Jiang Miao with a hair-cutting cloth, put on a rubber hood to cover his hair, and placed an oxygen valve in his nose. Then the bearded man began to pour silicone mixed with curing agent into Jiang Miao's face.
Pour the white silicone gently from the top of the head, and then use a brush to evenly apply it downwards, including the ears and the front and back of the neck, ensuring that the thickness is consistent in each place to facilitate subsequent demolding.
Jiang Miao gently closed his eyes, feeling the cold liquid slowly wrapping his entire head to his collarbone, and then waited quietly for it to dry and solidify.
Then the bearded man used scissors to cut the silicone headgear from the back and then removed it from the mold.
To be honest, the moment the scissors were close to his scalp, Jiang Miao subconsciously tensed up in his hand under the drape, but when he thought that there was another little daughter in the house besides him, he held back and seriously felt that he was really trying to break free, so he put the pistol back into the space and did not take action.
"What do you want the three to look like?" the bearded man asked her as he was tidying up.
Jiang Miao said without hesitation: "Young male, ordinary appearance, bald head."
She was a bit stubborn, and was still upset about her bald look that was seen through by others last time, so she decided on her first image immediately.
"Okay, a bald head is easy to do! What about the second one?"
"Middle-aged male, ugly-looking, bald with a Mediterranean head."
Bearded man: “…” I don’t know what has stimulated this girl. How can she have such a strong taste when she is so pretty!
"That's fine. The third one won't be a boy too, right?"
I will update at 23:00 tomorrow night, and keep it up to 6:00 in the future. I will set a flag for myself first——
