Chapter 858: The Secret Realm
After three rounds of drinking, the sky was already completely dark. The fat shopkeeper of the Windward Restaurant finally came to this box, not alone, and followed by a graceful beauty, whose figure was extremely beautiful, even a few points taller than a large fat shopkeeper.
"Boss, why don't you follow me? Look at the fat man's appearance, he is not worthy of you at all. "Ace is babbling.
Nangong Fan only knew at this time why Ai Si had been thinking about the proprietress here since before she came to this restaurant, this is indeed a peerless beauty, but obviously a few people are also joking.
"It seems that their relationship is much more intimate than I expected. Nangong Fan was already a little drunk, just glanced at the moment when the shopkeeper and the proprietress came in, and then put more eyes out the window.
In the previous solitude with Ace, perhaps it was the red-lipped and white-toothed boy who realized that the little friend he had just made in front of him was a newcomer to the WTO, which was called a man who knew everything and said everything, and almost told everything he could explain. This made Nangong Fan finally have a one-sided understanding of Wuzhou, and he had a rough outline of this Wutian Academy.
The three universities of the Wu Dynasty, although there are rankings, but each of them is a real gathering place of Tianjiao, whether it is a kid from a remote mountainous area, or a noble son from a wealthy family, he will basically join a school. Of course, it was originally a lower-level college, and only those who were truly outstanding could gather in these three universities.
Comprehending the law before the age of 100 is the threshold for joining the three universities, and it can only be said that the school in the middle of the capital pays a little more attention to birth. But not all eldest princes like the atmosphere of an aristocratic school.
And the prince Wusheng is said to be in the Wutian Academy now.
The battle for the throne has been going on for a long time, and each prince has a complicated faction because of his mother's family. In addition to the prince Wu Sheng, it is said that there is also a little prince who is just 100 years old in this generation. It just so happens that the two belong to different factions.
Except for a small number of self-contained princes, the entire generation of Tianjiao of the Wu Dynasty basically stood on their own sides. However, now that the Wu Dynasty has brought together too many foreign Tianjiao, and even people from the main continent, the two major factions have not completely intensified the contradictions, and the open and secret battles behind them are not enough to deal with outsiders.
Wu Sheng is now third on the list of ten states, and the younger brother is still young, so he naturally wants to use this to show off his prestige, and in the past hundred years, it is estimated that Wutian Academy will not be peaceful.
The fat shopkeeper and the proprietress glanced at each other, looking at Nangong Fan with an indifferent face, they couldn't help but flash a hint of praise, few people would be so calm in front of the proprietress, just a glance, not too much attention.
With such determination, it's no wonder that Ace treats him so kindly.
The two of them didn't see Ace at all, and sat generously at the wine table.
"Ace, if you really want to take me away, but every time you talk about it, it won't be interesting. The proprietress poured everyone a drink and said with a joke.
Ai Si touched the tip of his nose and smiled, a boy like him had to fall into disadvantage to deal with this beautiful woman who had been in the world for many years.
He immediately changed the subject, "Fatty, is there anything interesting in the Wutian Academy recently? I heard that a descendant from the Earth Dragon Sect was born and also came here. ”
"Has there already been a descendant of the Earth Dragon Division?" the fat shopkeeper's pupils condensed slightly, "It seems that there is really going to be a big reshuffle on the rankings in recent days." ”
"Hey, what about the big shuffle, it has nothing to do with us anyway. What's more, some false names are just mundane in the final analysis, and a group of people are really boring to fight for this. Ace took a sip of wine and said indifferently.
The fat shopkeeper glanced at Ace and shook his head, "Sooner or later, they'll notice you." ”
"The last time you left the Martial Heaven Academy, you shouldn't have come back. The proprietress interjected abruptly.
Nangong Fan raised his eyebrows, it seems that this Aisi, who likes to make friends, also has a story to tell. However, he just listened silently, his eyes still looking out the window, looking at the Wutian Academy that was brightly lit in the night.
"Sooner or later, you'll have to come back and face it. A trace of blood red appeared in Aisi's pupils, and quickly disappeared, "Anyway, he also has a marriage contract with me!"
"This is the helplessness of our business families, even if they are rich and rival countries, they are even more united, but under the coercion, they have become a plate of scattered sand in an instant. The fat shopkeeper sighed faintly.
"In other words, the woman in the Danqi Pavilion has the courage to make changes, and now that her strength has not been revealed, it is said that she and her best friend have not fallen behind at all. The proprietress spoke abruptly.
Nangong Fan raised his eyebrows, and for some reason, he suddenly remembered a woman who had a life-saving grace for him... Fu Xuexi!
"It's late. The fat shopkeeper and Ace were almost in unison.
The three of them didn't seem to regard Nangong Fan as an outsider at all, and what they said became more and more profound.
Nangong Fan didn't interject until the three of them asked him to raise his glass, he smiled leisurely, "You guys, say so much in front of me... Aren't you afraid of the non-people you trust?"
"The high-level Heavenly Realm that is less than fifty years old, and its specific strength is comparable to the peak and perfection. From the Five Elements Sect, it deserves to be taken seriously. "The fat shopkeeper's pupils are as sharp as an eagle.
Nangong Fan touched the tip of his nose, although he had long known that the details of his face had already been seen through by the three of them, but it was still a little difficult for him to accept it when he said it so bluntly.
"It's a pity, it's too young. But if you're older, we'll have a good relationship at most, and we won't dare to be so close. The previous dialogue can be regarded as our sincerity. The proprietress smiled.
Nangong Fan nodded, the kindness of this servant was tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow to him who came to the Wu Dynasty alone. "It seems that your enemy is the one. ”
"Yes. Ace looked resentful.
Nangong Fan's gaze moved to her, and he smiled helplessly, "I didn't know Ai before... Si is actually a woman dressed as a man, please forgive me for the slightest offense. ”
"My name is Ai Yingying, and Ai Si is the name of my dead brother. Ace smiled indifferently, but there was something gloomy about this smile.
"No matter how much you say, it's empty words, why don't we four of us make a heavenly oath here?" Nangong Fan took a sip of wine, his face was free and easy.
"That's very good. The fat shopkeeper smiled, and the approval in his pupils increased.
"Let's talk about other things after the Heavenly Dao Oath. Nangong Fan's pupils didn't have a little ripple.
But I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, these three people recognized themselves for some reason. Saying some rebellious words by his side all the time made him feel extremely stressed.
There are many secrets that may lose their heads, and Nangong Fan understood at the first time that this was forcing himself to get on the thief ship.
However, he is alone, and with the help of the three people in front of him, it will be easier to gain a foothold. What's more, there is a big mountain of the Five Elements Sect behind him, although he himself knows that this is fake, but others don't know about it! Not to mention that they are all selling face, at least those guys of the older generation dare not easily do things that bully the small.
Bullying the small... Which great power can compare to the Nine Heavens Divine Venerable? The Martial Emperor has to weigh a few points.
Since what you face after that is mundane, then it is not a dead end. Anyway, it's better than being destroyed by the three people in front of you right now.
"I really can't tell that you are a person who has just entered the world. The fat shopkeeper's face was full of surprise.
Nangong Fan pursed his lips, "There are some things, continue to discuss after the Heavenly Dao Oath." ”
The four of them glanced at each other, and each began to truly make a heavenly oath. In general, you must not betray the other party, you must give the other party the greatest assistance, etc., and the violator will be destroyed!
Strange fluctuations flickered in the box, and then quickly disappeared.
The four people present suddenly seemed a lot closer, and it can be said that they are all grasshoppers on a rope now.
Nangong Fan also knew the real names of the three of them here.
Everyone's name is a line, and since the Heavenly Dao oath is triggered, the name will naturally not be faked.
The fat shopkeeper's surname is Hong Zhao, the proprietress is named Jiujiu, but Ai Yingying didn't panic...
"I am the Ascendant. Nangong Fan said indifferently, "I saw the Nine Heavens Divine Venerable and his disciples a few days ago, and then the Divine Venerable sent me to the edge of Wuzhou, and by the way, he gave me the identity certificate of the Five Elements Sect. ”
"Divine Venerable personally sent it?" the three of them were all shocked.
"This credential is my cheeky request, and I didn't expect it to be so useful. Nangong Fan told all the deeds since his ascension.
Of course, what Qinglian rings and the like, all his secrets have been hidden.
"Tsk, Ascension is so weird. Fu Hongzhao sighed with a smile on his face.
"Fatty, you're getting the point wrong. Ai Yingying looked at Nangong Fan in disbelief, and only after a while did she speak, "Flying to the Ten States before the age of fifty is the most terrifying thing." If the Blue Emperor World was opened after three hundred years, Brother Nangong might not necessarily fall too far. After a hundred years of ups and downs in that world, perhaps, the entire generation of people in the ten states will have to rely on his snort to survive. ”
The corners of Fu Hongzhao's mouth twitched slightly, "I seem to have really forgotten this." ”
The three of them glanced at each other, and couldn't help but sigh that Ai Yingying was lucky, what kind of monster was a Tianjiao who was randomly drawn?
"Maybe I'm not as talented as I thought I was. Nangong Fan touched his nose helplessly, "At least the Nine Heavens Divine Venerable, when I wanted to worship her as a teacher, he decisively rejected me." ”
"The Nine Heavens Divine Venerable is the only woman among the three Heavenly Venerables, and it is said that the disciples he accepts are all peerless beauties who combine the beauty of heaven and earth without exception. Ju Jiujiu's face was full of yearning.
"Well, I've seen her disciple, although she is only a hundred stars, she can indeed be regarded as a generation of beauties. Nangong Fan spoke slowly.
"Bailai Xing?" the three of them glanced at each other, "This generation of Nine Heavens Divine Venerable also has a disciple born?"
"There should only be three or two people in this world who know. Nangong Fan nodded.
"Who is it?" asked Fu Hongzhao again and again.
Compared to Nangong Fan's unstable factor, it was undoubtedly easier to achieve their goal by befriending a disciple of the Divine Venerable who had not yet been exposed.
"She's still in the Five Elements State now, and even if you know who it is, you can't get in touch with her. Nangong Fan shrugged his shoulders, "What's more, she may not be able to meddle in your affairs." ”
"Fatty, the main source of this matter is still with me, and you and Sister Jiujiu are still in the dark to deal with me a little. Ai Yingying waved her hand, "The Divine Venerable disciple is indeed too far away. Whether I can get along or not doesn't matter much about this matter, not to mention that I already have a comprehensive plan. ”
Nangong Fan touched the tip of his nose, he was completely chasing ducks to the shelves, but he could make friends with the three merchant ladies and sons in front of him, and it would not be in vain to bear so many risks. At the very least, it will be much easier to gain a foothold in the Wu Dynasty than before.
"Just three or two of our big cats and kittens?" Fu Hongzhao smiled helplessly.
"I have to eat the food in one bite, even if I spend my whole life, I want to take revenge. Ai Yingying's pupils shone with hatred.
"I can only say that I tried my best. Nangong Fan smiled bitterly.
"Nangong Gongzi doesn't have to be presumptuous, just the silver necklace given by the gods, your talent has been undoubtedly revealed. The little girl will rely on you a lot in the future. Ai Yingying restrained her hatred and smiled.
Nangong Fan nodded helplessly.
Ai Yingying began to tell her plan, and the voices of the four became quieter and quieter, until everyone was full of food and drink, and the moon could no longer see the eyebrows, and then the end was announced.
Under the leadership of Fu Hongzhao, Nangong Fan stayed directly in the nearest inn.
Speaking of which, there are three or five various businesses in the vicinity, and all of them are the forces behind these three young people.
Nangong Fan stayed in a fairly high-end inn for free, and the small room was densely packed with formations, hidden formations, spirit gathering formations, and warning formations. Just living here, he had to spend at least ten high-grade spirit stones a day, which saved him a lot.
This stay is ten days.
For the first two days, Nangong Fan was still thinking about the incident he was suddenly involved in, and then he decisively entered the cultivation. He had just broken through to the high-level Heavenly Realm, and the Heavenly Pill was not yet full, and there was still plenty of room for growth.
If you want to survive in the world of cultivators, your own cultivation is the most real dependence, and everything else is nothing.
On the tenth day, as soon as the sun climbed out of the horizon, Nangong Fan opened his eyes.
The realm was completely stable, which made him feel a lot more comfortable. For the first time since coming to this Lucky Star Inn, he stepped out of his small house. On weekdays, the food and drink are sent by the people in the inn.
Nangong Fan finished his breakfast slowly, and then left the Fuxing Inn and went to the Windward Restaurant not far away.
Fu Hongzhao spends most of his time in the Windward Restaurant, in addition to the large income of the restaurant, it is also a mixture of fish and dragons, and he can get a lot of first-hand information.
As soon as Nangong Fan entered the restaurant, the sharp-eyed husband Hongzhao found him and beckoned to him again and again.
"Fat brother. Nangong Fan showed a slight smile and walked up to him step by step, "Thank you fat brother for your hospitality for the past ten days." ”
"These are minor issues. Fu Hongzhao smiled, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he slowly spoke, "There was no mistake in the information I got before. ”
"The little prince really came to the Wutian Academy?" Nangong Fan raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, it's a little more exaggerated than in my intelligence. On the side of the Huangtian Academy, many Tianjiao rushed over. Fu Hongzhao nervously pulled Nangong Fan to a hidden house.
"So many people?" Nangong Fan was slightly startled.
Wusheng's mother family is in Wuzhou, and the little prince's mother family is in Huangzhou, and this generation is naturally divided into two major factions, east and west. Does this look like two major factions are going to merge with fire?
"With so many Tianjiao gathered together, martial arts competitions and fights are indispensable. It can be said that this time it should be a big move, and it is estimated that all those foreign Tianjiao who have not yet shown their bodies will come up one by one to join in the excitement. Fu Hongzhao looked a little excited.
Nangong Fan raised his eyebrows, "This is not necessarily, Tianjiao, who has been in the rivers and lakes, basically has his own rules, just for the sake of excitement, he may not come to such a distant place." ”
"What if there are still interests?" Fu Hongzhao rubbed his hands, "It's a pity that I'm five hundred years older, and I'm only forty or fifty stars, otherwise I would have to make up for this excitement." ”
"Interests?" Nangong Fan's pupils flashed with a hint of curiosity, "What kind of interests can you wipe out all Tianjiao?"
"The Wutian Academy has always controlled the Five Directions Secret Realm. A few years ago, it was said that a new secret realm was discovered, but the way to enter it has never been found. I didn't know that this was a secret realm that could only be entered by ordinary people. The Wutian Academy gave up the first reclamation of this secret realm, and Wu Sheng proposed to come to this Tianjiao competition and choose people to enter..."Fu Hongzhao told everything he knew.
"This is the first reclamation of the secret realm. I don't know how big the secret realm is for the time being. However, unless it is cultivated by nature, it must be the first time to reclaim the income. ”
Nangong Fan's pupils froze suddenly, "The first reclamation... Not necessarily, right?"
"It's almost the first time. The Wutian Academy must have sent its own disciples to enter, and it was obviously deflated before letting the Tianjiao of other forces take the lead. Tell me, even if tens of thousands of star realms are drilled into, how much impact will it have on a secret realm? There will be no splash at all, plus a specified time, these Tianjiao will naturally all become cannon fodder for the Wutian Academy in order to achieve their own goals. Fu Hongzhao smiled coldly, obviously he was also clear about these routines.
Merchants are based on their reputation, but they are also the same as the black-hearted businessmen, only talking about the methods of the Yin people, and few people in the same generation can compare to Fu Hongzhao, who has been exposed to it since childhood.
"What is the choice?" Nangong Fan became interested.
Most of the Tianjiao who is active today are hundreds of years old, and he wants to overtake in corners, and he can't let go of all creations.
"The first reclamation is bound to be dangerous, but it can also reap the benefits. At least the Wutian Academy didn't dare to risk the world's condemnation and wipe out all the Tianjiao who entered it. Fu Hongzhao smiled disdainfully, I don't know how many people will pay attention to this matter, maybe the Martial Emperor will hang his eyes here, even if he gives the Wutian Academy a lot of courage, he will not dare to make any small moves. As for everything in the secret realm, it depends on these Tianjiao's skills.
"I know all of this, otherwise I wouldn't be interested. Nangong Fan pursed his lips.
