Section 75: True Identity
The rich man Guo stood sideways, and the Martial Emperor in the cave did not respond for a long time. Guo Fugui didn't say anything more, still standing respectfully outside the cave and waiting.
After a long time of tea, I heard the indifferent voice of the Martial Emperor in the cave, "If you don't leave, you won't be afraid that the emperor will kill you." ”
"The old man is already a dying person, and he doesn't dare to bother His Majesty to do it. Guo Fugui still had respect on his face, but he couldn't see the look of fear.
Emperor Wu's cold voice was sent into Guo Fugui's ears in a way that transmitted into the secret, "The golden lord's lineage has long disappeared in the eyes of the world, and the martial emperors of all dynasties have protected your Guo family for several generations of glory and wealth, aren't you still satisfied?" ”
Guo Fugui's expression was solemn, and he also said, "Ancestor Yu Wei, the old man is grateful to His Majesty. The old man came to the mountain this time, firstly, to worship the ancestors and the Holy Spirit, and secondly, he was entrusted by the families of the Luofeng Domain and Huo Qingyang of the Silver Dragon Academy to meet His Majesty, not for his own selfishness, but also to hope that His Majesty the Martial Emperor would be fulfilled. ”
Guo Fugui bowed and waited, and after more than a dozen breaths, he heard the Martial Emperor sigh and say, "Come in, this is the last time you will be allowed to step into the secret land." ”
The vines that covered the stone cave spread out to both sides, Guo Fugui tidied up his clothes, and walked in with awe on his hand. The world only knows that the Guo family in Anji City paid tribute to Lingxiao Pavilion and got the protection of Emperor Wu. Don't you know that the Guo family is basically the bloodline of the gold lord back then. In this secret place, the remains of the first gold lord are still preserved.
Outside the Lingxiao Pavilion, in the camp of the Silver Dragon Courtyard. An Ruoxi tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so she simply got up and came outside Guo Zizan's tent.
An Ruoxi hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Zhanshan, have you fallen asleep?"
Inside the tent, Gong Zhanshan was annoyed, and when he heard An Ruoxi's question, Gong Zhanshan scratched his head, "Come in." ”
"This~, it's better for you to come out, I have something to say. ”
"Don't worry, Guo Zizan slept like a dead pig and was knocked out by me. If you talk outside, it's easier to get guessed when you're seen. ”
Gong Zhanshan knew what An Ruoxi was worried about, after all, it was a little inconvenient to go to the man's tent late at night. But outside was the ground of Lingxiao Pavilion, and Gong Zhanshan felt that it was safest to talk in the tent.
The curtain was lifted, and An Ruoxi walked in. Seeing Guo Zizan curled up motionless on the animal skin, An Ruoxi asked softly.
"Zhan Shan, do you have something to hide from everyone? I can feel it, you have been worried since you came back, you can tell me if you really want to get into trouble, after all~ We are all elders of the Silver Dragon. ”
Gong Zhanshan looked at An Ruoxi's worried look, and patted the animal skin beside him gratefully, "Ruoxi, sit down and talk." ”
An Ruoxi hesitated for a moment and walked over silently. The tent was originally not big, but now that the two were sitting next to each other, An Ruoxi couldn't help but feel a little nervous. In order to hide the panic in her heart, An Ruoxi asked deliberately.
"Zhan Shan, are you worried that our combat ability is not strong and we will be crushed by the people of the Four Domains of the Phantom Sea?"
Gong Zhanshan didn't notice this, he felt that it was better to talk about some things to An Ruoxi than to be uncomfortable in his heart. Gong Zhanshan raised his hand and laid down a soundproof barrier, and took advantage of the situation to hold An Ruoxi's hand.
"Ruoxi, you said that people live in the world, is family and friendship important, or is it the most important thing to be strong?"
An Ruoxi's hand was held by Gong Zhanshan, and her nervous throat was a little dry, but when she heard Gong Zhanshan say this, she couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
"Zhanshan, I don't understand what you mean, is there a conflict between your own strength and family and friendship?"
Gong Zhanshan thought for a moment, "For example, there are two choices, either find a place to cultivate to become strong on your own, but you will lose your relatives and friends. Either for the safety of your relatives and friends, you will become a waste person in this life, which one will you choose?"
An Ruoxi looked at Gong Zhanshan strangely, "You~ Why do you ask?"
Gong Zhanshan smiled bitterly, "Because~ someone forced me to make this choice." ”
An Ruoxi's heart tightened, "What, is there someone who is forcing you to do bad things with the lives of your clansmen?" Zhanshan, tell me, don't forget that there is the Silver Dragon Courtyard behind you, no one can coerce you." ”
Gong Zhanshan patted the back of An Ruoxi's hand and said bitterly, "Don't be nervous, I'm just guessing." ”
Gong Zhanshan said and looked sideways at An Ruoxi, the two were so close, An Ruoxi suddenly turned her face away in embarrassment.
"Ruoxi, do you remember the Outer Heaven Great Power who trapped you, she said~ After the battle for Nagong is over, she will take me to the Outer Heavens. ”
"What?" An Ruoxi's eyes widened in surprise, "No wonder you look preoccupied, Zhanshan, you must not agree." No, I will inform the master of this matter, and only the master may be able to stop it. ”
An Ruoxi said, and was about to break free and stand up, but Gong Zhanshan reached out and grabbed his shoulders and held it down, "Don't worry, Elder Situ is already here, and my master is going to discuss this matter with her." Ruoxi, don't tell anyone about this, you should not know anything, I just want to talk to you about my heart. Otherwise, I always feel that there is a anger that cannot be suppressed. ”
An Ruoxi was hugged by Gong Zhanshan's shoulders, and her breathing became short, but when she heard that her master Situ Jimin had also come to Fallen Mountain, An Ruoxi was both surprised and a little surprised.
An Ruoxi endured the panic in her heart and said softly, "Zhanshan~Since~ Since my master is here, don't think so much." Baihuazun's lofty status in the outer heavens is second only to Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven, as long as she comes forward, even if she takes you away, she won't dare to do anything to you. Just like the last time I was trapped in the formation, the other party was also threatened by the clan, but after I said Baihuazun, she let me go. There are some things that the other party just says, and you don't need to take them to heart. ”
Gong Zhan Shanxin said You don't know who wants to take me away, even if Baihuazun comes forward, it's useless.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it, let's talk about something else. ”
Looking at Gong Zhanshan's sad appearance, An Ruoxi thought that he was worried that something would happen. An Ruoxi hesitated, took the initiative to lean on Gong Zhanshan's shoulder, and comforted softly.
"Zhan Shan, in fact, as a cultivator, I don't think there is anything to be afraid of life and death. Last time I was trapped for more than a month, I thought I would never see you again in my life. When I put life and death down, I didn't feel how terrible the other party was. It's like Elder Pang Beihan, who has been cultivating all his life but doesn't even know who he died at, so I think it is even more important to let go of these burdens and do what needs to be done well, even if he dies, he will not leave regrets. ”
"No regrets?" Gong Zhanshan said in his heart that if he became a waste, he would have too many regrets in his heart. Not to mention that the revenge of the ancestral land has not been avenged, and it is not easy to bring the Gong family on the right path, Gong Zhanshan does not want to be regarded as waste wood by the clansmen anymore. But he really went away and hid, even if he broke through the Heavenly Realm, I am afraid that he would not be able to forgive his selfishness.
Gong Zhanshan hugged An Ruoxi lightly, and the two of them said silently, although they couldn't solve the actual problem, it made Gong Zhanshan's impetuous mood gradually quiet down. He felt that An Ruoxi was right, he didn't remember the past and didn't ask about the past, he lived in the present, even if he went to the outer heavens, what could he do, it was a big deal to fight to the death to make the queen of heaven fall into the infamy of not keeping her promises.
Early the next morning, Guo Zizan opened his eyes in a daze. When he saw Gong Zhanshan staring at him with slightly reddened eyes, Guo Zizan sat up in fright.
"What did you do to Lao Tzu, you bastard? I warn you, don't try to steal Lao Tzu's things. Guo Zizan said, and couldn't help but touch his hand to the jade plate that never left his neck, and when he touched the jade plate, Guo Zizan breathed a sigh of relief.
Gong Zhanshan patted Guo Zizan on the shoulder, "If you think about it like this next time, I'll really beat you up." Lao Tzu is a man who never steals, and I will rob if I want. By the way, I have to thank you, your teleportation charm saved my life, and I wrote down this favor. ”
"What??Teleportation Charm~You~Did You Use It?" Guo Zizan's eyes were about to pop out.
"Nonsense, isn't that thing for me? ”
"Loser~ Loser, you know that thing is priceless. Gong Zhanshan, if it weren't for the fact that I am about to be your brother-in-law, Lao Tzu would have to scold you to death today. ”
"Give me another one, and I'll let you scold for another day. ”
"Fart, Lao Tzu has one left, and it's still used to save his life. ”
Gong Zhanshan showed a sinister smile on his face, and said in his heart that with your Guo Zizan's character, if there were really two left, you kid would not give me so generously at all.
"Zizan, don't forget that Gong Ling hasn't agreed to marry you yet. Now that I'm in the palace family, believe it or not, I've pushed this family business away. Gong Zhanshan said threateningly.
"You~ Okay, you are a palace and occupy the mountain, Lao Tzu is blind to recognize you as a brother, do you still have a conscience. Guo Zizan bared his teeth and grinned, hating to bite Gong Zhanshan to death.
"I promise to return to the dining hall in the future, and let you do whatever you want. ”
Guo Zizan rolled his eyes, gritted his teeth and pointed at Gong Zhanshan, "This is what you said, the last one, you have to bear whatever Lao Tzu does in the future." ”
"Three, I don't want more, just three, you kid must have it. ”
"Fart, you still have a fucking shame, I still have to stay to save my life. ”
"Look, I'll just guess you have. Three, I'll protect your life, just treat these three teleportation charms as your dowry, it's interesting enough. ”
"Enough for you! Lao Tzu will not marry. ”
Guo Zizan's eight characters trembled, and his grandfather warned him before he came, saying that these things were all treasures left by the gold owner back then. Don't you know, this is all something that Guo Dacai took the initiative to carve with the mysterious blade left by his ancestors. If it is really the treasure of the gold lord, it is enough to teleport a hundred miles away, but in the hands of Old Man Guo, even with the help of extreme crystal energy, the farthest is more than ten miles.
Gong Zhanshan even coaxed and deceived, and even betrayed Gong Ling to allow him to marry Sanfang, which made Guo Zizan 'endure the pain and cut love' and gave three teleportation charms. Gong Zhanshan walked out with the teleportation charm satisfied, and he was going to give An Ruoxi and Helian Mingyue one each. In any case, at least a time of crisis could save their lives.
Guo Zizan lay on the animal skin with his back facing the sky as if he had collapsed, "Master, if you haven't gone to the palace family to give a dowry, then our family will lose a lot of money." Guo Zizan said that it was good that this guy didn't find that the jade plate around his neck was the real treasure, if he was really snatched by Gong Zhanshan, I am afraid that his grandfather could force the entire Gong family to be imprisoned.
In the camp, everyone finally decided on the list of participants after many discussions. Lin Luosheng didn't dare to refuse in the face of righteousness, and now there are only six earth quality powerhouses on the side of the Luofeng Domain, including the Silver Dragon disciples, and the people reported by the four domains of the Phantom Sea are all above the land quality.
Gong Zhanshan also received a message from his master Wei Anping, but he didn't expect that his master would follow Situ Jimin to the outer heavens. However, Wei Anping informed him that he would return to Fallen Mountain before the end of the tribute.
Gu Hefei returned from Lingxiao Pavilion after presenting the roster, and all the children of the Luofeng Domain sat in a circle, and Gu Hefei unfolded a topographic map.
"Let's take a closer look, this is the Shura battlefield where you are fighting for Nagongtu, and the radius is a hundred miles away. Each of you must memorize the hiding place marked with spirit stones, and in the end, the ranking will be determined according to the number of spirit stones obtained, as for which side you can meet, it depends on your luck. ”
Gu Hefei said, looking at An Ruoxi and the other ten participating members. Except for Gong Zhanshan, Chang Zixu and Wu Zhaolin Luosheng, the only person who is not from the Silver Dragon Academy is from Sun Haishan, the son of the city lord of Shihu City. The other four are Helian Mingyue of Mandu City, Guo Zizan of Anji City, and Zhang Guangliang and Jiang Shizhi, disciples of Yinlong. Other people Gu Hefei didn't have any opinions, but Guo Zizan was included in the roster, not only Gu Hefei couldn't figure it out, but others also felt a bit child's play. However, the people of the Silver Dragon Academy insisted again and again, and Gu Hefei couldn't do anything about them.
An Ruoxi and the others were familiar with the terrain of the Shura battlefield in the Fallen Mountain, but Lin Luosheng looked at Gong Zhanshan and said.
"Gong Zhanshan, I haven't congratulated you on your promotion to the elder of the hall. After this tribute, are you interested in talking about it alone?"
"What, there is hatred in your heart?" Gong Zhanshan glanced at him.
"Between you and me, there will be a break after all. ”
Gong Zhanshan said disdainfully, "You are not my opponent, if you dare to fight against the water when you are fighting for the tribute, I will kill you with my own hands." Now that I am the head elder of the Silver Dragon Academy, your father doesn't dare to do anything to me. ”
Lin Luosheng also snorted coldly, "Although Lin is not convinced by you, he will not exchange the honor of the Lin family for a lifetime of infamy." You can rest assured, Lin will never be left behind others in the battle for tribute, even if he dies in battle, Lin will not disgrace the prestige of the Lin family. It's you, who take the interests of the Guo family and ignore the overall situation, are simply unworthy of being with Lin. ”
Gong Zhanshan was stunned, and looked at Lin Luosheng in surprise, "This is still like a man, then let's compete in the battle for Nagong to see who can hold on to the end." If I am seriously injured, I will withdraw before you, and I will be left to you. ”
"Okay! That's what you said, don't regret it!"
"A gentleman's word, there is no child's play. Gong Zhanshan said lightly.
Lin Luosheng gritted his teeth, and said in his heart that a small clan like your palace family doesn't know how deep the background of the top family is. When the time comes, I will let you Gong Zhanshan kneel at the feet of Lao Tzu in humiliation in front of everyone.
After resting for a long time, all the arrangements for the five domains of the Phantom Sea were ready, and under the auspices of Venerable Bahao, the great protector of the Lingxiao Pavilion, the powerhouses of each domain were sent to the battlefield of the Shura of the Fallen Mountain. They will start a ten-day competition, and if all the spirit stones are found in advance, the competition will end. But Bahau believes these people will hold out until the last moment.
Gong Zhanshan and the others stepped on a cloud board, and under the escort of the six golden guards of Lingxiao Pavilion, they slowly entered the Shura battlefield. Gong Zhanshan took a deep breath, at this time he no longer thought about the affairs of the outer heavens, and was ready to face this competition with all his might. Especially seeing the strength displayed on the list of the four domains of the Phantom Sea, Gong Zhanshan knew that this would be a brutal chase battle. Although there are many powerful protectors like Jin Wei and Bahao, no one dares to say whether they can come to the rescue between life and death. What's more, those who are seriously injured under the rules will withdraw from the competition, and Gong Zhanshan doesn't know how many of them will be left in the end.
Seeing that the cloud board was about to enter the mountain range, An Ruoxi couldn't help but remind, "Everyone be careful, after entering the mountain range, you will immediately restrain your breath." ”
Chang Zixu looked at everyone, with a hint of cold calmness on his face, "Friends, the hunt has begun." ”
There was a rare vigilance and nervousness on everyone's faces, because everyone understood that others were the hunters, and they were just regarded as the weakest prey by the four domains of the Phantom Sea.
