1500 The Penultimate Story (20)
As the most economically developed East Coast in the Eastern District, the Taishu family has its own industry even in the capital of the first district of the Spirit Realm.
As a family with frequent fire-based spiritual roots, Uncle Tai's family is undoubtedly a battle-oriented family.
Even the children of their family who had slightly less cultivation talent ran an industry that was more popular than the other families.
Yes, they have a total of two shops in the most prosperous commercial street in Yunhai City.
One is a shop that mainly sells local products, monsters, and medicinal herbs along the East Coast, and the other is a refining workshop with all-fire attributes.
Because the firepower here is full and the refining technique is unique enough, but it has just opened, and it has gained a firm foothold here.
And Gu Zheng and Uncle Tai's accommodation in Yunhai City these days were basically carried out in the courtyard of Uncle Tai's house behind the shop.
As always.
The little young master of the uncle's family was woken up by the sound of tinkling iron, and after turning over and getting up, he would meet Gu Zheng who was earlier than him at the breakfast table.
After the two of them finished breakfast, according to the previous agreement, under the leadership of Tai Shuhong, they went to the end of the street, the material shop opened by the official of the Eastern District City, to buy the array flag that Gu Zheng had consumed because of the battle a few days ago.
Because the time interval is too short.
The specific array disc that Gu Zheng asked his uncle to help make could not be completed in three days, so they had to find a replacement in the qualifying round.
Let them barely survive the attacks of the players from those key colleges, and then take out Gu Zheng's specific formation plate to use when the national competition is in the country.
As a snake in half of the land, the task of leading people to go shopping, Tai Shuhong is the one who does it.
When the two of them stepped into this Yunhai shop, Tai Shuhong directly led Gu Zheng to the second floor.
"Don't pick what you like, don't save money for the two of us. ”
"The bonus from the previous period was spent, it doesn't matter, mine is yours, use it as you like. ”
Uncle Lingzhu really didn't look at this in his eyes, what he cared about was the attitude of his family towards him after he won the championship of the sub-key league.
That's just great.
His wealthy father directly gave him 500 spirit beads of pocket money.
With this money, the little bonus you earn is nothing.
However, the price in this two-story building is too expensive for a poor and clean boy like Gu Zheng.
He just took a very ordinary compound formation, and the small shopkeeper opposite opened his mouth to sixty.
This kind of cost performance made Gu Zheng want to drop out of school to study the magic circle and sell it.
These people are only a little more elaborate than him, but they are far from conceived.
Thinking of this, Gu Zheng endured the discomfort of the price, so he read it one by one.
When I saw the last space of this row of shelves, I let out a "Huh?" sound.
It's a slightly dated box.
The box was not covered with any lid, but was lined with a red velvet backing, on which lay three very small bones, which seemed to be carved with some unknown patterns.
This is also a formation plate?
Never seen it before?
Gu Zheng, who had an inexplicable desire for new knowledge, put the box in his hand, and when he wanted to pinch the small bone and look at it carefully, a pair of white hands stretched out from the side, and Gu Zheng took this bone in his hand one step earlier.
"What's this? Kind of interesting?"
The voice is crisp and a little grumpy.
Let Gu Zheng, who was facing these hands, raise his eyes and see a figure as fiery as Tai Shuhong.
"Who are you, robbing my brother?"
Tai Shuhong, who was watching the weapon from a distance, heard the sound here, and feared that Gu Zheng would suffer a loss, so he rushed over in two or three steps.
When he squeezed his arm in the direction of the man in red, he pushed the hood of the man in red, whose face was tightly buttoned.
'Smack!'
A strand of black hair slipped from it, the snow-white skin reflected the red fiery lips, and the true face of the angry girl was reflected in Tai Shuhong's eyes.
"me! me! Shangguan Qianru!"
"me!"
Tai Shuhong looked at the past, it was without hesitation, a fist, that was to turn his head and run downstairs.
He was like a lightning bolt wrapped in flames, and he disappeared very quickly in front of the girl's eyes.
It's a pity that his evasion didn't buy him more time, and after the girl saw that Tai Shuhong actually reacted like this, she was stunned at first, and then threw the small bone in her hand into the air, stomped her foot, and chased after her.
Gu Zheng was left alone, hurriedly caught this fluttering little bone, shrugged his shoulders, lowered his head and continued to study the pattern above.
He always felt like he had seen it somewhere.
It was a very old memory, and it had left a lot of deep marks in his memory.
Where is this?
Probably because Gu Zheng was too involved, the little housekeeper on the side felt that this young man was afraid of starting, so he gave a hint that belonged to the merchant very enthusiastically.
"Guest, are you looking at the pattern above? Let me tell you, this circle seems to come from the big world. ”
"Big world?"
"Yes!" the little steward nodded, "We are in the spirit world, but there are several passages leading to the big world above." ”
"I don't know what's going on, millions of years ago, there was a great turmoil in a big world, and I heard that the Heavenly Dao of the big world suffered a very serious blow. ”
"Then a lot of things fell from the cracks in the plane of the Great World. ”
"This set of formations is the most ordinary thing found in the ruins of the Great World. ”
"After the study of the scholars of the spirit world, it seems to be the text of a certain species in the big world. ”
"But because no one understands the meaning of this word, the power of this formation is just that. ”
"It can trap a mid-stage foundation cultivator for a maximum of ten minutes. ”
"If the guest is interested, you can give fifty spirit beads and take it. ”
Hearing this little steward say this, Gu Zheng's mind flashed with inspiration, and he immediately remembered the words related to the Wu Clan that he had seen in a world.
Isn't this the universal language of the desolate world?
Could it be said?
Gu Zheng pursed his mouth and immediately handed over the fifty spirit beads in his pocket.
He was stingy, he never bargained, picked up the formation composed of these three small bones, left the Yunhai shop without looking back, and ran straight in the direction of Uncle Tai's refining workshop.
When he returned to his room, he pronounced the words on the bones in a very old and obscure tone.
After reciting a complete mantra, this seemingly ordinary little array actually buzzed and floated in the air.
"Sure enough!"
"This is a small formation simplified from the evolution of the Great Array of the Flood Desolation Sect, the Three Talents, the Five Plagues, and the Eight Desolation Array. ”
"It's only the effect of deception, and it's still far from killing enemies and spreading death. ”
"But it's okay, if it weren't for that, I wouldn't dare use it. ”
"This is really a mistake and a wrong move, tomorrow's quota battle, with it, it will be nine out of ten. ”
Brushing and pulling, Gu Zheng grabbed into the void, and the three tiny bones were held in his hands.
As a magic weapon to win, Gu Zheng did not put it back in the storage bag, but tied it with a special spider silk and hung it on the bracelet he used as a defense, which was used as a decoration.
When he got up from his seat after all this, he saw a man in a messy robe, running into his room, grabbing the teapot on the table, and pouring the tea that had become a little warm inside into his mouth.
"Oh I'll go, little! ”
It looks like someone has been ravaged by someone.
The misery was so miserable that Gu Zheng was embarrassed to speak.
It's probably because this kind of quietness is too inexplicable, and Tai Shuhong inevitably has to make up for his gaffe.
This young man, who has never had eyes on the top of his head, but never showed any disgust and disdain, said that the girl of the Shangguan family showed a rather repulsive mood for the first time.
"You've heard it all, haven't you?"
Heard about what?
Gu Zheng, the true god of learning, never listened to the gossip and rumors on campus.
It was probably because Gu Zheng's reaction was too real, which made Tai Shuhong feel that this was an object to talk to.
This young man was like pouring dumplings, and he made it clear what he and Shangguan Qianru had to say.
"We hate each other, and that lady of the Shangguan family has never looked at me in his eyes. Always think I'm a piece of shit. ”
"Now, seeing that I have improved, and I can give her face in front of others, I have come up again. ”
"Hey! My uncle Hong is not motivated, and he is not stupid, this kind of girl is arrogant, but if I am inferior to others, she can make a good family restless. ”
"So there's no way to do it. ”
"Why do you say that it will be successful, and you say that it will not be successful?"
"I have already sent a letter to the two old people in the family, and if the Shangguan family comes to bring up the old matter again, our uncle's family will only say a word, it will not work!"
Right!
Gu Zheng agrees with this.
In addition to him, who is not a little public in the family these years?
can't talk about a marriage of true love, but also find a partner who can make your life more comfortable.
As for this Miss Shangguan, it's really not his friend's dish.
So, these two straight male late-stage patients discussed for a night what it means to be a good woman.
When the two of them entered the scene of the quota competition, they were watched by all the teachers and students of all the key colleges.
Why is that?
Because among the teams participating in this selection competition, there is an old acquaintance of Tai Shuhong.
As a positive woman, how can she not study in a key college and call for wind and rain in this college?
What is very awesome is that they are also new students, Shangguan Qianru's partner is a ninth-grade student who is about to graduate, he is not very old, and he is the same genius.
As for Tai Shuhong, he is equipped with a newcomer who practices qi at the eighth level, just by comparing it, it is quite shabby.
Even if these two people won the first place in the sub-focus, in the eyes of these heavenly pride, it is really not enough.
Well, it's like now, no, it's squeezed.
"I'll go, this is the kid from Uncle Tai's family who passed on the scandal with Shangguan Qianru?"
"yes, it looks like it's enough to drag!"
"What's the use of dragging it, embroidered pillows, and a dragger, you look at it, this selection will inevitably be revealed. ”
"Yes, yes, I heard that the youngest son of this uncle's family is a gentleman, recruiting cats and dogs, and when it comes to cultivation, then stop cooking. ”
"But I don't think his realm is low?"
"Hey, what do you know, what's the use of just having a realm now? Is wasteland development customary? Is secret realm exploration effective? Now you have to pay attention to your brain, do you understand it?"
These discussions made Tai Shuhong's face more and more ugly, and just when he was about to go crazy, he was pulled by Gu Zheng from behind.
He shook his head at Tai Shuhong, walked straight to the place where the lottery was grouped, and grabbed a small round ball from a box-like container.
"Red group, number six. ”
This is the rule of the tryout, a total of ten real small secret realms are opened, and ten groups of people explore together.
Each group consists of 10 groups from different schools.
That is, a secret realm for twenty people.
As for the time of exploration, it is all three days.
It is measured by the harvest that each group member brings out of the secret realm.
The highest cumulative value of harvesting, and the first place in each secret realm, will be qualified for a national competition.
This relatively level playing environment takes all issues into account.
Of course, these ten secret realms were all made in batches by the same power.
Same map, same output.
It's all up to the individual performance of these 100 groups.
Fair, just, and full of highlights.
On the premise of not ruling out gangs, it is still a test of students' ability.
At the very least, Gu Zheng and Tai Shuhong knew that as long as they came out of this secret realm, they would no longer have to look at the face of the girl from the Shangguan family.
As fate would have it, this girl also drew the red group of rafts, and the ranking was still behind Gu Zheng and Tai Shuhong, No. 7, which was not auspicious.
Before entering the secret realm, this Shangguan girl glared at Uncle Tai Hong fiercely several times.
"I said, did you let her know what you told your family?"
Tai Shuhong shrank his neck, and went to the secret realm: "Hurry in, hurry in, let's eliminate this girl, and this world will be clean!"
This made Gu Zheng ignore the surroundings, and was brought into the secret realm by Tai Shuhong.
As soon as you see it, it is a foggy scene.
"This is a ruin simulation?"
Although the spiritual realm is large, the development efforts are also quite powerful.
But looking at the structure in this small secret realm, it seems that this ruin has not been developed by the people of the spirit world?
Look at the rudimentary pattern around you, just like a particularly vulgar primitive group tribe, according to the developed cognition of the spiritual world, it shouldn't be.
Abnormality is a demon.
Gu Zheng's spirit immediately tensed.
He didn't say a word, first let Tai Shuhong open the defensive barrier, and then he communicated with his divine sense and laughed and forgot to read.
"Panorama map of the little secret place. ”
"Yes!"
A small panorama of the habitat community was displayed in front of Gu Zheng.
Aside from the strange fluctuations in spiritual power at the entrance of the village, the village looked like a village of mortals with no features.
Odd?
"Be careful! ”
Gu Zheng, who took out the array plate from the storage bag, blessed himself and Tai Shuhong with another protection.
Then, he walked tentatively towards the entrance of the village step by step.
At this time, the other nine members of the same red group had already rushed into the village, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and began to loot one household after another.
Tai Shuhong was a little anxious, out of trust in Gu Zheng, he inexplicably resisted the urge to rush along.
Gu Zheng, who followed the way, stopped at the entrance of the village, in front of two pillars ten meters high and carved with strange totems.
"It is, sure enough. ”
This is the most primitive totem of the Wu clan, worshipping the blood and strength of the flesh of the Wu clan.
Those structures and symbols that others can't understand are actually the worship of ancestors by the Wu people.
As for the figures, some are part of the body, while others are important organ structures in the human body.
It's all relatively abstract, and people who don't understand the culture of the Wu people can't understand it.
As for the strange aura presented on these two pillars.
Gu Zheng, who covered the column with his hand, opened his eyes as soon as he closed them.
"Oh no!
From these two pillars, he saw the resentment of the wild gods who had been entrenched in this village for a long time.
This wild god, who has no godhead and clear thinking, can only be regarded as a passive defensive beast.
It treats anyone who is not a Wiccan as an intruder.
The more contestants who enter the village do and develop, the more anger this wild god will be.
Eventually, there will be its fury and mad revenge.
And Gu Zheng's shout was because he saw the node of the outbreak of this wild god, which is now.
Gu Zheng, who made a decision immediately, grabbed Uncle Tai Hong and swooped back ten meters.
This is an area that the Totem Patronus will not reach.
As for the other members of the group who are still in the depths of the village.
You can only ask for more blessings for yourselves.
No, a panicked scream rang out from it.
A snake-like red vine rose from the center of the village and wound around the place where the people were angry.
"Ahh
"What is this!!"
The technique of cultivating the ninth layer of qi, attacking the bodies of these vines, has an effect, but it can't keep up with the speed at which these vines continue to grow.
Often, when one person breaks one vine, two, three or more vines will spring up towards them.
"Hell, run out!"
But if it's already in the attack range of this kind of thing, how can it be so easy to escape?
These students, who were using their spiritual power to manipulate magic weapons, found that as these vines surged more and more, the spiritual power around them seemed to be drained away, and there was no follow-up replenishment at all.
And the defensive magic weapons they wore were actually corroded and invaded after being entangled by this red vine. Take a look at the latest chapter of "The Correct Posture of the Salted Fish to Turn Over, the Claw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
