Chapter 18: Middle-earth under the Shadow of Rules
Since Zhanbai left, the position of the owner has been vacant. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After all, this is only the outermost industry of the exhibitor, and it is not much valued.
The backyard that had been handed over to the shopkeeper Zhantun for use, because of the arrival of Zhanbai, he took the initiative to let it out, and he was looking for someone to clean it from the inside out.
When night fell, after sending off Gongzi Jun and the others, he settled the people he had brought with him, and Zhanbai walked alone under the big tree in the courtyard.
The big tree is still there, and the stone tables and chairs under the tree are still there, but it's a pity that things are not people.
In a distraction, Zhanbai seemed to see a couple who respected each other, snuggled under the big tree, whispering some love words.
"Li'er...... I just hope that in this life, you have been entrusted to a good family, with no worries about food and clothing, and no worries. Zhan Bai sighed, the corners of his eyes moved slightly, and he hid that trace of melancholy.
"The owner." Zhantun dragged his obese body and walked over slowly.
"Sit down." Zhan Bai pointed to the stone chair, and he sat on the opposite side.
"Xie Dongjia."
"How's the inquiry?" Zhan Bai asked softly.
Not to mention the level of identity, Zhantun has lived in this desert city almost all his life, as the head snake of the land, some news was handed over to him, and it was undoubtedly a good use of knowledge.
"Old decay, not dishonoring the mission, although in a bit of a hurry, but also got a lot of useful news, and is about to report to the owner." Zhantun sat tremblingly on the stone chair, because he was in too much hurry just now, and it took a long time to smooth his breath.
Zhan Bai nodded and motioned for Zhan Tun to continue.
"So that the owner knows that in recent months, Tianmo City has indeed become much more lively than before. Originally, I didn't care too much, after all, it is connected to three continents, and there are countless people on weekdays, but I didn't expect that there was really a cat in it, if it wasn't for the owner's reminder...... Hey, the old man is really confused. Perhaps because of his age, Zhan Tun was particularly chattering, but fortunately, he noticed Zhan Bai's impatience in time, hurriedly stopped gossiping, and sat down in a precarious manner, "As expected, there are a total of eleven places in the desert city that lead to the Spring and Autumn Continent near the Fahua Gate on this day, and a large number of outsiders have indeed gathered. And according to the old detectives, the attitude of the city guards guarding the eleven Fahua Gates has also become very different. In the past, only those who had special tokens would be released, but now the price is clearly marked, and as long as you can afford to pay for the spar, you can receive a token and enter the Lotus Circle. ”
"Oh?" Hearing this, Zhan Bai sighed a little unexpectedly, "According to what you said, are there any large-scale recruiters near the eleven Fahua Arrays?" ”
"This ...... It doesn't seem to be. Zhantun told the truth.
"It shouldn't be." Zhan Bai shook his head in confusion.
In his mind, the Spring and Autumn Continent, years after years of war, the consumption of human lives must be huge. If it is said that high-level elite talents such as Wenchen military generals can also be recruited through major super forces, what about ordinary soldiers and those chivalrous men who don't have much status?
All the aborigines of the Spring and Autumn Continent are undoubtedly the practice of killing chickens and taking eggs. Then the restrictions on Julu and Wuhu in a timely opening up are inevitable.
Therefore, long before Da Fatun went out to listen to the news, Zhanbai had predicted that in the past two years, a large number of Xuan and Demon cultivators from Julu and Wuhu would inevitably gather in Zhongtian Desert City, intending to enter the Spring and Autumn Continent and become chivalrous, or seek fame or profit. And these people are definitely not only from the super sect forces.
Therefore, half of the situation Zhan Tun said did not surprise Zhan Bai, those who bought a token to enter the Spring and Autumn Continent by paying a certain amount of Xuanjing must be going to the chivalrous guest.
What puzzled Zhanbai was that in the face of such a large number of good players, why no one recruited, even if it was not to increase the number of soldiers, recruiting them as guests was a force to be reckoned with.
In fact, the main reason why Zhan Bai let Zhan Tun go out to listen to the situation was because of the question that Gongzi Jun did not answer.
Large-scale recruitment opportunities like the one we have now obviously don't happen very often. In this way, things seem strange.
What is the reason why Gongzi Jun only recruited only five people in the face of such a good opportunity?
If it was just against the power of the super sect, Zhan Bai would not be difficult to understand.
Although there are a lot of super sect forces, but the Spring and Autumn Continent is even more intertwined and complex, not to mention between countries, but within a country, among the princes and nobles, which does not need manpower, and Gongzi Jun is among them, it seems inconspicuous, after all, in the eyes of outsiders, he is just a son who is not taken seriously, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is precarious. Otherwise, he wouldn't have shown that he was bound to win it.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that wolves have more meat and less meat. Gongzi Jun was able to recruit five people from these super sect forces, which may already be a good result.
However, the so-called flowers are red in a variety of ways. The super sect forces can't get through, so why not find another way and choose those sect families that are less powerful?
No matter how puzzled Zhan Bai was, the truth is that Gongzi Jun didn't choose to do it. Not only him, but from what Zhantun learned, no one in the entire Spring and Autumn Continent did that.
Is it because you can't let go of your body, or do you look down on those slightly inferior sect forces?
In this regard, Zhanbai was puzzled.
Of course, what made Zhanbai think differently was that he could leave for the Spring and Autumn Continent immediately, why did Gongzi Jun have to wait for two days.
"It seems that the Spring and Autumn Continent is far from being as simple as I thought." Although he couldn't get an answer for a while, Zhan Bai would not be self-righteous and think that the people of the Spring and Autumn Continent were fools, and would let go of the large number of groups in vain, let alone think that Gongzi Jun would stay here for two more days just to enjoy the scenery for two more days.
Then after ruling out these two possibilities, there is only one answer left, and the problem must be in the Spring and Autumn Continent.
"Well, things are well done, you can go back and rest." Zhan Bai glanced at Zhan Tun, keenly observed the bloodshot on his cloudy old eyes, and couldn't help but speak.
Zhantun's talent is too poor, even now, the cultivation is still in the realm of the beginning, and there is no inch of progress in this life, and it is precisely because of this that he grows old so fast. And when a person reaches old age, even if it is a metaphysical cultivation, his physical strength and energy will drop to a precarious point.
Obviously, what Zhan Bai explained to him had consumed a lot of Zhan Tun's physical strength, and he was already extremely tired.
"Gongzi Xie." Zhantun thanked Zhan Bai gratefully, and then got up and left tremblingly.
Looking at the back of Zhantun's old ditch, Zhanbai wanted to speak and stopped, and finally only turned into a sigh.
It's not that Zhan Bai is stingy with rewards, it's just that with Zhan Tun's current physical state, he has reached the verge of extinguishing the lamp, unless it is a superb pill like Jin Dan, it is not of much use to him. On the other hand, Zhantun is not an outsider, as a child of the Zhan family, even if it is a remote side branch, it is already a great gift to the Zhan family to be able to master a restaurant in Mocheng on this day without worrying about food and clothing, not to mention that he just found out some news for Zhanbai, even if he handed over his life now, it should be, and if he gives a reward, it will be a little too much.
Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, whether it is a country or a family, it is the privilege of the superior who firmly controls it.
After sitting in the courtyard and remembering for some more hours, Zhan Bai got up and returned to the bedroom and rested.
The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Gongzi Jun took a group of people to Celadon Xuan again.
Compared with yesterday, there is no special event today, more just drinking and having fun, for this reason, I also specially invited some Qingqi from the more famous Qinglou in Tianmo City, singing and dancing.
Just by taking a look, Zhanbai already knew in his heart that these singers must be from Wanhuayuan, and of course, Huamenlou is also possible.
In this regard, Zhanbai was not surprised, and did not take the initiative to ask.
Same as Zhanbai, Wen Buqi and the others also brought a different number of retinues, but they didn't bring them with them today. Zhan Bai also dismissed the Sword Pavilion disciples and let them move freely in Heavenly Desert City.
In this way, it lasted for two consecutive days, and at ten o'clock in the morning of the third day, according to Gongzi Jun's prior reminder, everyone gathered in front of a Fahua array leading to the Spring and Autumn Continent in the east of Tianmo City.
It can be seen that even in the middle of the night, the place is still crowded, and there are constantly people who have bought tokens from the city defense team and disappear into the Hokke Formation in a hurry.
Fortunately, Zhanbai and the others did not have this kind of trouble, and Gongzi Jun had already sent someone to send out tokens of different styles in advance.
Zhan Bai looked at the token in his hand, it was only the size of a palm, with a triangular style, the material was like silver and not silver, but the weight was not light, and the creation was extremely exquisite. The front side is engraved with a big Chu character, and the reverse side is carved with a lifelike bamboo slip, and the bamboo slip appears on the bamboo slip with two small characters of "Mouchen".
After some observation, Zhanbai found that the token in his hand was similar to that Wenbu, thinking that this style represented the identity of Wenchen.
Sure enough, Chu Xuxu's token was made of Xuantie, and as for the token of the sister and brother of the house and the entourage of everyone, it was made of some kind of special purple bamboo, which represented naturally a chivalrous man.
The tokens of chivalry are also different, such as those purchased from the city guard, which also represent the identity of chivalry, and the material is also bamboo, but the color is gray-white, whether it is carving or grade, it is a lot.
"Sir, and all the adults, Gongzi asked his subordinates to inform him that after getting this identity token, they need to drop blood to recognize the master, so that they can successfully pass through the Fahua Array and enter the territory of Chu State. Otherwise, at least you will be lost, or at worst, you will be exiled to the chaotic void, and you will die without life. The subordinate of the prince who had issued the token before admonished earnestly.
No one raised any objections to this, and everyone was not from the lower riba, so I didn't know that some of the Fahua Formation had conditional restrictions. As far as the Fahua Array in front of us is concerned, the condition required is undoubtedly a token, and it is a token with a master.
At that moment, everyone dripped blood to confess the Lord, and the token was also peculiar, once it was stained with blood, it radiated a misty light of blood, and finally melted, leaving a mark the size of a pigeon's egg on the arm.
After all the preparations were made, Gongzi Jun was still indifferent, standing patiently in front of the Fahua Array, as if waiting for something.
After about half an hour, the answer was revealed.
A figure walked out of the Fahua array, and it was particularly abrupt in the flow of people who could only enter and exit.
As soon as this person walked out of the Fahua Array, his eyes quickly locked on Gongzi Jun's body, and he walked over without stopping.
"Childe, the last general is here."
Following the prestige, Zhanbai's eyes couldn't help but light up, isn't this Niu Ben who followed Gongzi Jun two years ago?
Before, Zhan Bai wondered why he didn't see this person beside Gongzi Jun, but he didn't know when, he actually returned to the Spring and Autumn Continent, and he didn't reappear again until today.
As a result, a doubt about Zhanbai was finally revealed.
Gongzi Jun ordered the two of them to stay in Tianmo City, and it was very likely that they were waiting for this person.
"Well, how's the preparation going over there?" Gongzi Jun nodded at Niu Ben and said without pretending.
"Childe, rest assured, the Apocalypse Building ship is already on standby, and it can be started at any time when Childe arrives."
……
"Ladies and gentlemen, the auspicious time has come, please come alone." After Gongzi Jun briefly talked to Niu Ben for a few words, he turned his head with a smile and smiled and invited Zhanbai and the others.
Everyone responded one after another, and without saying a word, they followed Gongzi Jun towards the Fahua Array in an orderly manner.
Under Niu Ben's almost rude drive, he smoothly opened a passage among the idle people waiting in front of the Fahua Array, and stepped on the Fahua Array first.
……
After a brief period of dizziness, the view was restored again, and the scenery had changed dramatically.
The starry night was replaced by the morning sun, the light drove away the night, and a cold air made Zhanbai, who had just walked out of the Fahua Array, shiver.
"This is ......" Zhan Bai has some words for the sudden change.
"Sir, it's jet lag. Because of the spatial fracture between the three continents, the hours are not the same. Because the time of Tianmo City coincides with the same time as the giant deer, it will be a little surprising to suddenly enter the spring and autumn period. Gongzi Jun beside him hurriedly explained.
Zhan Bai nodded with a wry smile, obviously Gongzi Jun was wrong, the reason why he was surprised was not because of the difference in time, but more because of the environment of this Spring and Autumn Continent.
Of course, for the sake of Gongzijun's face, Zhanbai naturally did not speak directly, and first made a relieved expression in order to cooperate, and then asked the question in his heart, "It seems that the environment here is also very special." ”
"Environment?" Gongzi Jun was stunned for a moment, and involuntarily looked around.
Everyone was on a majestic mountain at this time, and because of the early morning, the surrounding area was filled with mist, and it was like a fairyland. It's just that there doesn't seem to be anything surprising about such an environment, whether it's a giant deer or a five-hu, there is such a scene.
Just when Gongzi Jun was puzzled, he suddenly heard the sound of Zhan Bai taking a deep breath, and his heart suddenly changed.
It turns out that the environment that Mr. is referring to is air.
After all, Gongzi Jun is a native of the Spring and Autumn Period, and he is naturally very familiar with the environment here, but Zhanbai and the others are the first big girls to sit in a sedan chair, and it is understandable to have this feeling.
Think about it, when I first stepped into the Giant Deer Continent, didn't I have the same feeling?
In fact, the air of the Spring and Autumn Continent is not much different from the Julu and Wuhu Continent in terms of composition, it is nothing more than composed of Xuanhuang Qi and Hongmeng Qi, the difference is only the proportion.
In the Continent of Giant Deer, the Qi of Xuanhuang is obviously more than that of Hongmeng, while in the Continent of Wuhu, it is the opposite. As for the Spring and Autumn Continent, there are differences, and the two account for half of the country, and they are equal.
The reason why Zhanbai is not adaptable is not because of the composition of the air, let alone the proportion of Xuanhuang and Hongmeng, if you have to say it......
The air of the Giant Deer Continent makes people smell a kind of free smoothness, but the air of the Spring and Autumn Continent is much heavier, and the heaviness here does not refer to the weight, but to ...... Limit.
It gives people a feeling of depression as if they are carrying several major mountains.
"Hehe, lonely here, it is Mr. Welcome and all the Qing family to come to the Spring and Autumn Continent, a vast Middle Earth shrouded in many rules." Gongzi Jun saw that it was not only Zhanbai who had this question, so in order to avoid trouble, he opened his arms and said aloud to everyone, making a gesture of welcome.
"Rules? Or is it a cage? When Zhan Bai heard this, he didn't feel too excited, but his mood was a little heavier, and his eyes looked around deeply.
Spring and Autumn Continent, I, here.
