Chapter 226: A Chance Encounter
After a few days of fermentation, most of the area in the Ancient Heavenly Court had fallen into war and strife.
Although there was still no trace of the Tongming Hall area being attacked by the enemy at this time, from the interruption of communication with the outside world and the increasingly hurried steps of many clan children, I still felt a sense of depression that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.
Maybe this feeling of depression is not obvious to ordinary Heavenly Court people, but it is obvious to Li Lingqi, who has the heart to pay attention to the many clan children on the road.
In fact, even ordinary Heavenly Court people had already been aware of this turmoil that had affected most of the Ancient Heavenly Court, or some of them were the latest to know that something earth-shattering had happened in Heavenly Court.
Most of these people are otaku who don't go out to celebrate even when night comes, but choose to stay at home and surf the Internet.
They have witnessed countless people disappear from the virtual world without warning, and they have also witnessed many people in different places swiping their screens as if they had heard alarms, raids, and ground movements......
Netizens who have posted similar messages have disappeared without exception, and the large area of gray in the list shows that something extraordinary has indeed happened in reality.
They were even one step ahead of the various ancient clans in bringing news from different regions to the ears of the Clan Joint Investigation Team.
It's just that they didn't expect that in the entire moment of day and night, the clan joint investigation team, an organization composed of many clan children, had already received the most concentrated "care" from the Jiuli tribe.
The area that was attacked was 100% lost, which was almost impossible for the clan joint investigation team that spread over 99% of the cities in the entire Ancient Heavenly Court, but it happened dramatically.
Even according to the statistics after the fact, the Jiuli tribe did not take more than an hour to complete all this, which makes people have to sigh that the implementation of thousands of years of planning is so remarkable.
Probably the only thing to be thankful for is that there are a number of buildings in the Ancient Heavenly Court that are "indestructible by manpower".
These Heavenly Palaces, which are in operation all the time, have taken on the responsibility of exchanging information on behalf of the ancient clans that control the authority of these areas, so that although most of the means of communication have been cut off by the Jiuli tribe, in fact, these areas have not been completely lost.
In less than a day, many ancient clans that had not been attacked, including the Youxiong clan, had already sent reinforcements to the surrounding area.
It's just that compared to the Jiuli tribe that had been prepared early, the rest of the ancient clans in the Ancient Heavenly Court were not going well to reinforce the rest of the region.
Either the bewitched masses, or the emerging clans who wanted a piece of the pie, or some ancient clans who were also secretly colluding with them, made the situation of the entire Ancient Heavenly Court stalemate for a while.
And with the passage of time, the problems that arose were not only the disputes between the Jiuli tribe and other ancient clans, but also the plans implemented by the Jiuli tribe in secret were also impacting the ancient heavenly court that was caught in the flames of war.
For example, sudden sequence collapses, such as people who have been displaced from other areas but have been stranded by the fighting, such as ordinary people who are imprisoned and coerced......
All this is just to eliminate the role of gods or absolute power in war, just as the Jade Emperor divided the gods into the first gods and ordinary gods, and the Jiuli tribe divided the Heavenly Court people into certain clans and ordinary people.
Li Lingqi, who was walking in the area of the Tongming Palace, had not yet noticed this situation, but those disciples of the Youxiong Clan who had advanced to the depths of the lost area had gradually felt the strange eyes of ordinary Heavenly Court people around them.
It was a kind of fearful, suspicious, and not friendly gaze in any way, and it was also a kind of gaze that made the people of the Arikuma clan who had a warm smile like spring at all times feel a little embarrassed to smile.
This kind of gaze is both chilling and heart-wrenching, but more of an exclamation.
For thousands of years, it has never been just kindness and justice that have kept pace with the times.
In other words, there has never been a true heaven or heaven.
It's just that some people who believe in light and justice are strong enough, but they are willing to use their lives to radiate light that illuminates the future.
"Hey~You(yes) Ning Qi?!Why are you still here?What is the one who is with you?What's it called...... Oh, yes, Rong Qianhan, why isn't she with you?"
Li Lingqi suddenly heard a series of words behind him, and the voice of the speaker was quite large, causing most of the people on the street to look in the direction of the speaker.
At first, Li Lingqi didn't react, and the other party was shouting about himself, until the other party said Ling Qianhan's pseudonym, Rong Qianhan, that he realized that the clansmen of the Chao clan were an ancient clan with no branches, and usually when close people introduced them to outsiders, they would subconsciously omit the title of their surname.
Turning to look behind him, he saw a girl with a bear at a height who had already walked quickly to the front.
With a warm smile on her face and a hint of hidden tiredness, when she saw Li Lingqi looking at her, she said very intimately and heartily:
"Why? Don't you remember me? We've seen it in the East End, it's the one that 'hey, bang, bang', there's Ji Ting's ...... from the Xiong family."
"I'll tell you, this time you let me catch it, but I can't run away anyway, I have to go back with me to let a few friends in the team entertain you both, and then I will call Brother Xiong back, let's ...... together"
As she spoke, the girl from the Xiong clan made a very vivid gesture a few times when she pushed the two away from the monster that collapsed in the sequence and the subsequent actions that took place, which looked very vivid.
And Li Lingqi naturally recognized Ji Ting, although he had been a little wary of these clan children after being besieged by Ji Harrier and others, he was not indifferent to this familiar Youxiong girl.
First, no one who sees the other party's appearance will feel that they are in the same group as the person in front of them, and second, the other party is a person from the Xiong family, which also saves Li Lingqi a lot of trouble.
After thinking about the language for a while, Li Lingqi glanced at Ji Ting, who was already familiar with him and began to pull it towards the Youxiong clan, and hurriedly said:
"Why don't you remember? At that time, the two of us thought that we would not cause you any trouble, so we would not stay long. I've been shopping around the east side in the past two days, so I'm looking here......"
Seeing that Li Lingqi didn't seem to have the intention of sneaking away, Ji Ting didn't pull and pull anymore, the clansmen of the Chao clan were thin-skinned and introverted, and she still heard of it a little, if it was the people of the Lieshan clan, they might have already hooked up with her and went back, but the Chao clan was afraid that she would throw her face if she pulled it again.
Glancing around where Li Lingqi was, she said a little strangely when she didn't see Ling Qianhan's figure:
"Where's that guy in your family, why wasn't he with you?"
Li Lingqi knew that she was talking about Ling Qianhan, thinking that Ling Qianhan was afraid that he had returned to the earth and didn't know whether it would be smooth or not, but he said with some ambiguity:
"Something happened at her house, so she hurriedly ran back, I don't know what the situation is, and she didn't tell me in detail, just told me to walk around the neighborhood by myself during this time......
Ji Ting listened to Li Lingqi's words and the subconscious worry in them, and naturally thought of what had happened in the past two days, and understood it to mean that Ling Qianhan was concerned about the situation on Rong Cheng's side and was worried that Li Lingqi's strength would be weak and it would be dangerous to travel together, so he tricked him into staying here, and nodded very naturally, but did not mention anything about Ling Qianhan.
And what will make Ji Ting have such a misunderstanding, but I have to say that in the past two days, the situation is very different, there are Chao and Rong Cheng.
If you want to choose an area with the best security and the most firm position in the Ancient Heavenly Court, it must not be the area of the Tongming Hall where the Xiong clan is located, or the area where the Lieshan clan, the Xuanyuan clan, and even the Qingyang clan are located, but the area under the jurisdiction of the Chao clan.
This is a place where you can't even find three or five living people on the street as long as you keep online, and it is also an area where the personal happiness index in the entire Ancient Heavenly Court is generally out of the charts.
Even when the Jiuli tribe launched the attack, they never thought of targeting the Youchao clan or attacking the communication company in the area where the Youchao clan was located.
Because they know very well the horror of an ancient clan that eats, sleeps, has children, and exercises at home to maintain their health.
Perhaps it is not enough to directly reflect the deterrent power of the Youchao clan through the ancestral training alone, and what is even more straightforward is that the area where the Youchao clan is located is the only area where ordinary Heavenly Court people do not exist, and it is also an area where the bloodline of ordinary Heavenly Court people will be forcibly "diluted" into an ancient clan.
Therefore, from ancient times to the present, the Chao clan has an unshakable position in the heavenly court, and has never been disturbed by any form of strife, even this time.
After all, no one will take the initiative to provoke a group of crazy people who can fight with you and entertain themselves with the whole clan with the network cable, right?
And the Rong Cheng clan is one of the few clans that is more chaotic internally than externally in the past two days.
Even at the moment when the alternation of day and night had not fallen, Rong Cheng's clan had already taken the lead in chaos.
This is related to the fact that the Rong Cheng clan has a large number of blood-related clansmen, and it is also related to the fact that there are too many interests and intricate relationships within the Rong Cheng clan, and it is also related to the fact that some people in the Rong Cheng clan are behind this turmoil......
All in all, in just a few days, the Rong Cheng clan was like the situation of the entire Ancient Heavenly Court being torn apart by different forces, organizations, and forces:
Although there is still an authoritative authority on the surface, this person in power does not have complete control over the situation of the entire clan, but operates independently.
Ji Ting deliberately stopped mentioning Ling Qianhan, and Li Lingqi was also happy to breathe a sigh of relief and didn't need to think about too many excuses.
It's just that there are only two or three things that have happened recently, and for a clan disciple like Ji Ting, no matter what, it can't avoid the turmoil that has occurred in the past two days, and Cheng Tian is also concerned about these, so she unconsciously talked about this matter with Li Lingqi.
"Brother Ning Qi, what do you think of what happened in the north recently? I heard that the situation on the Rong Cheng clan's side doesn't seem to be very optimistic, do you have a way to contact you again......
Halfway through the words, Ji Ting suddenly paused as if he had reacted to something, but Li Lingqi glanced at Ji Ting, but he didn't think too much, and he didn't understand what had happened in the Ancient Heavenly Court in the past two days, so he didn't say anything.
At this time, Li Lingqi's eyes still had a trace of concern about whether Ling Qianhan would return safely, which made Ji Ting feel that the other party probably knew some news, but at this moment, the young couple broke off contact, and they could only bear it silently and face it optimistically.
The land of the Youxiong clan is not far from the west area in front of the palace, and Ji Ting has shouted at the many brothers who have been scattered in the area of the Tongming Hall in the past two days, and the two of them have already driven the cloud car to see the outer edge of the Youxiong clan land from a distance.
Because it was a special period, the cloud car did not fly into the clan land as swaggering as before, but it did not undergo any special inspection after landing.
This undoubtedly shows the strong confidence of the Arixiong clan in their own strength, and at the same time, it also shows the unconditional trust in their own people.
So when driving unimpeded in the interior of the clan, Ji Ting glanced at Li Lingqi with some ostentatiousness.
It's just that when she saw Li Lingqi, who didn't look a little surprised, she smiled a little self-deprecatingly, and felt that she seemed to have some axes in the class.
If you want to say that you are full of confidence, I am afraid that the Chao clan is still playing and eating now, and you will not experience this so-called special period or special situation at all, right?
Fortunately, the Youxiong clan is not a thin-skinned clan, and Ji Ting herself belongs to the kind of big grinning character, and she doesn't feel how shy she is if she doesn't show it, but thinks that the Youxiong clan is already very good now, and it is a very strange thing like the Youchao clan.
A beautiful flick of the tail into storage, the cloud car parked steadily in front of a tavern.
Jumping off the cloud car with a "bang", Ji Ting turned to look at Li Lingqi, who was cautiously probing his legs and stepping out of the cloud car, and couldn't help but pout, feeling that the person with the Chao clan was really sorry for his life, even if it was the "outlier" in front of him who was still good, it was difficult to move by nature.
Of course, each clan has its own habits and characteristics, and Ji Ting has no opinion on this, so he still enthusiastically dragged Li Lingqi into this tavern that didn't look big.
This tavern doesn't look big from the outside, but it has a hole inside.
Not to mention the small bridge flowing and changing the scenery step by step, in such a compact space, through visual design and the use of space, people are completely closed in it, which is obviously a lot of effort at the time of construction.
The overall appearance is probably less than 1,000 square meters, but dozens or hundreds of tables are arranged.
Either drinking alone or sitting around several people, most of the seats in the entire tavern have never been empty during this non-meal time, and it is obvious that the people of the Xiong clan are very satisfied with the food and wine of this house, and most of them are regular customers.
Due to environmental restrictions, there is no so-called single room in the tavern, but the children of the Xiong family, who are usually loud, are not noisy on this occasion, so just a simple partition and screen are enough.
When Li Lingqi and Ji Ting arrived, there were already some people sitting at the table.
Most of them were the children of the Xiong clan who had dealt with the monsters formed by the collapse of the sequence that Li Lingqi had seen at that time, and they looked like they were all in the dust, both men and women, and they obviously rushed over as soon as they got the news, without any embellishment.
"Come, eldest sister, you and the brothers of the Chao clan sit here, and see what they want to eat, let's go to Lao Meng and ask for a few jars of good wine from his private collection......"
"This old boy always says that it's not time, it's not time, this little brother with Chao has gone out, I think he plans to wait until when?!"
A group of people said, pushing and shoving and walking to the back kitchen, and after sitting down, Li Lingqi said hello to them and identified who was who in this large group of people, "Ji's children", only to notice that there was a friend with his head bowed in the corner not far away, and he didn't know.
Glanced at Ji Ting with some doubts, Ji Ting followed Li Lingqi's gaze, but he grinned widely, raised his leg and kicked the other party, and laughed:
"Hey, Xiao Yunyun, look up and pick up the customer!"
Hearing Ji Ting's words, the person hiding in the corner raised his head a little embarrassed, it was the "technical streamer" who broadcast live that day: "A small cloud in the sky".
Seeing that the eyes of Li Lingqi and Ji Ting converged on his body, Xiao Yunyun smiled at Li Lingqi with some embarrassment, and introduced himself a little broken:
"Ahem! Ji Yunyun of the Xuanyuan Clan, as for the screen name, you should already know it......"
Ji Yunyun?
Li Lingqi looked at the other party in some surprise, and then looked up and down again.
Maybe it was because he felt Li Lingqi's strange gaze, or because he had experienced too many similar situations, Ji Yunyun said to Li Lingqi very bluntly and helplessly:
"Don't look at it. Ji Yunyun! You heard it right, and you didn't recognize the wrong person......
And when he heard him say this with a helpless and aggrieved look, Ji Ting couldn't help laughing, and then helped him explain:
"This kid's family wanted a girl at the time, his father probably didn't want to open it when he wrote the score, and he wrote a Yunyun on the family tree with a shake of his hand, and the side above can be crossed out, and the words on the ground can be crossed out again to become a circle, you also know that Xuanyuan's old antiques are not allowed to change the score, and he can only be called Yunyun......"
While speaking, Ji Ting seemed to be a little unable to help his smile, and he was afraid that it would affect the people around him, so he used the excuse to go to the back kitchen to see why a few people who were begging for wine had not come back and slipped away, and in an instant, Ji Yunyun and Li Lingqi were left looking at each other.
Finding that Li Lingqi's eyes were still staring at him, Ji Yunyun couldn't help but feel a layer of goosebumps on his body, and said with some caution:
"Don't think my name is a special hobby! I'll tell you...... My aspect is normal!"
But he never thought that Li Lingqi just looked at him and thought of his appearance of pointing out the country and scolding Fang Xuan in front of the other party's live broadcast two days ago, and he had a feeling that things were wrong.
And in the case of such a mess from the other party, Li Lingqi naturally couldn't sigh anymore, shook his head slightly, and said very indifferently:
"That's not wrong, what does the name have to do with that? What's more, you're a minor, I'm afraid that your hair hasn't grown, and you can't talk about orientation......
Ji Yunyun listened to Li Lingqi's words in the first half and felt that the other party was quite understanding, how could he think that the more he listened, the more he didn't feel good?
When he heard the other party say that his hair hadn't grown, he had a feeling that he might as well have a problem in that aspect.
It's just that he wasn't so stupid that he couldn't tell whether he refuted this or not, and it was himself who suffered, so he slapped the table in front of him hard and didn't speak.
Unexpectedly, after a dull sound sounded at the table, an old man with an unattractive appearance suddenly appeared beside Ji Yunyun.
Judging from the figure, the other party is probably a member of the Xiong clan, and there is nothing special about the dress, but this skill is really scary, and when the vibration of the table of unknown material has not stopped, it has quietly smoothed the vibration of the table, and stood behind Ji Yunyun's side.
It can be said that the old man suddenly appeared like a teleportation to Ji Yunyun, but Li Lingqi clearly saw that the other party was running out of the back kitchen more than ten meters away, but he couldn't react to remind the other party that he had already arrived at Ji Yunyun's side.
I only heard the old man point to the slap print on the table that Ji Yunyun angrily slapped and said:
"Three cents and five cents deep, three inches and two cents square, and a benefit of 1.26 million, do you plan to cash or swipe your card?"
When he spoke, the old man's face was filled with a warm smile, but from the appearance of his staring directly at Ji Yunyun's wallet and the sharp way of appearance, it was not difficult to see that the object of the other party's enthusiasm was not Li Lingqi or Ji Yunyun.
After a few seconds of stalemate, the footsteps of Ji Ting and others came from the back kitchen.
It didn't take long for a large group of people to come near the dinner table.
Ji Ting glanced at the old man who suddenly appeared in some surprise, and then hurriedly raised his eyes and looked at the table.
When she saw the palm prints for Ji Yunyun on the table, she couldn't help biting her lip, grinding her teeth and saying:
"Old Meng, how much money are you going to hack this mark?"
From Ji Ting's words, it was not difficult to hear that she was planning to lose money, and Ji Yunyun originally thought that this was the store's plan to make a false payment, but after listening to Ji Ting's words, she calmed down and took a closer look at the desktop where this palm print was worth 10,000 gold.
The top was black, wood-like, with a shallow layer of plaster-like but hard coating.
Ji Yunyun's palm print was slapped on this coating, forming a darker accumulation.
At this time, this palm print was gradually becoming three-dimensional with the passage of time, which made Ji Yunyun finally remember something.
Legend has it that the stele engraved with the heavenly strip was made of a special material of jade.
This kind of jade is extremely rare, and it is one of the raw materials for the construction of the Heavenly Palace and Heavenly Temple, which comes from outside the sky.
The most famous description of this jade is that it is self-evident and unruly, as if his palm prints had become sparkling in the blink of an eye, indestructible and indelible.
