Volume 1 Small Town Boy Chapter 50 Teleportation Array
Two days later, Liang Hanshuo and the others had already arrived in Zhongning County.
Although there are horse roads between each county, the road can be unimpeded. But all the way from Jiangting'an County, there are two more counties in between. It took a lot of time just to check the interrogation points along the way, but the two of them didn't stop and arrived at the sunset when the city was closed.
After finding a small inn and ordering the horses to drink water for fodder, the two of them were able to have a hot meal. After a short period of gobbling and resting, I went to the bathhouse of the inn to wash up. In the past two days, I have been in the dust all the way, and I don't know how much yellow sand I have eaten in my mouth, but now I am soaked in water to enjoy a moment of peace.
Tomorrow is the day agreed with the academy, when they will go directly to Zhongning County through the teleportation array, and the effort in an instant is many times better than their day and night rush.
After sorting out the clothes to be worn tomorrow, Ling Chen went to bed early. Liang Hanshuo looked at Ling Chen who was sleeping, then looked at the night outside the window, and smiled slightly. After closing the doors and windows, turning off the oil lamp, Liang Hanshuo slept on the other side of the bed.
"Big brother. ”
Liang Hanshuo had just laid down when a cry came from the darkness.
"Huh?" Liang Hanshuo was suspicious for a while, didn't this kid fall asleep just now, and he actually pretended to be asleep. coldly startled Liang Hanshuo.
"What's wrong, Xiaochen?" asked Liang Hanshuo.
"You say..."Ling Chen paused, and then disappeared, maybe thinking about something.
Liang Hanshuo also had mixed feelings in his heart. I thought that this time I would only go out to hand in the task, and bring the team to the right to travel at public expense. I brought my younger brother with me, and let him see the world outside the academy. As a result, he encountered a tide of beasts and almost died in Huangquan. For nearly a month, I slept in the open and was scared. Food and water sources are even more scarce, and they have to go hungry almost every day. In the past month, even these old rivers and lakes feel that life is miserable, let alone a doll like him who is only fourteen years old. Ling Chen is also very sensible, he has never complained once, and has always quietly learned the knowledge of survival in the wild. Maybe it's because Ling Chen is particularly interested in things outside the academy, these things are very fast to learn, but he still often goes hungry. Since Ling Tianze left, Ling Chen's whole personality has changed. In the past, he was active, talked a lot, and knew how to make fun of people. Now he is silent and silent, and he is much more steady, but he is also much lonelier. During that month, the team members were indispensable for talking. Liang Hanshuo instructed them to communicate more with his younger brother. But many times, Ling Chen just smiled politely at some unrelated topics. Come to think of it, he has also realized something this month, and plans to talk to this big brother.
"How long will you marry a daughter-in-law?" In Liang Hanshuo's many thoughts, Ling Chen said such a sentence.
“。。。。。。 ”
"You don't have to worry about the affairs of the eldest brother, hurry up and go to bed!" Liang Hanshuo said speechlessly for a while.
"You see that you are twenty-one years old now, but you have not yet married a daughter-in-law. I heard Aunt Zhang say that the girls in our whole town want to marry you. You don't have a bad count, you are strong, and your reputation is high. In the past, the second uncle said that you are too far-sighted and always picky. Ling Chen said.
"What are you doing as a child, but the eldest brother naturally has his own ideas. After a pause, Liang Hanshuo said: "Let me ask you, do you know what love is? You turned out to be the one, the second miss of the Xiao family. ”
Ling Chen's heart tightened suddenly, like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on. After a while, Ling Chen said, "It seems that the eldest brother also has a heart to belong to this?"
Liang Hanshuo kicked Ling Chen's ass violently, causing Ling Chen to feel pain.
"If you kid still want to trick me, it's too tender. ”
"When you go to school, there is a lot of tuition, and you have to have a monthly living allowance. Your eldest brother's wife has earned enough over the years. But I have to confess to you anyway. When you go out, you have to use money everywhere, and the consumption in big cities is not much higher than in our small counties. If you have money in your pocket, you will naturally have more guts. Liang Hanshuo said.
"Big brother, you thought too early, you haven't even skimmed the eight characters yet, it's too early to think about this. In case, if I wasn't admitted to Dongsheng Academy, I wouldn't have to come back honestly. Ling Chen said helplessly.
"If you don't pass the test, you come back and see that I don't break your legs. Liang Hanshuo said viciously.
"Got it. Ling Chen replied. At the same time, I also cheered myself up in my heart, and I must succeed this time. The agreement made three years ago will definitely be kept.
After two days of running around day and night, the two brothers gradually became sleepy, and the two brothers closed their mouths and went to sleep.
The next morning, the two of them washed up and dressed neatly, and went out of the room and had breakfast in the hall downstairs. A few big white steamed buns, a plate of pickles, and two bowls of white rice porridge are not very rich, but they are full.
Horseback riding is forbidden in the city, but fortunately, the distance is not very far, so Ling Chen followed Liang Hanshuo and walked to Midtown. Far away, you can see a black hole-like shadow in mid-air.
"Is that the teleportation array?" Ling Chen asked, pointing to the black hole in the air.
"yes. Hearing Ling Chen's inquiry, Liang Hanshuo's gaze also drifted into the air. There was some hope in his eyes.
"I've heard that you can go a long way with a 'whoosh', and your eldest brother hasn't sat on this thing since he's grown up. If I hadn't had a mission at that time, I would have been able to come with your dean. Liang Hanshuo said.
When Ling Chen heard this, he said jokingly: "In the future, I will repair one in front of our house, so that the eldest brother can go wherever he wants." ”
". Liang Hanshuo rolled his eyes, "You can go wherever you want." Each teleportation array corresponds to a spatial passage, just like a road built by others, with a beginning and an end, but the time you take is much faster than others. And each teleportation has to be prepared for a long time in advance, and it costs a huge amount of money. If you have that ability, your big brother and I will have to wake up laughing when we fall asleep. Liang Hanshuo didn't care, who wouldn't brag about it. I have to let this kid have a long experience, and he won't talk nonsense when he goes out in the future. But Liang Hanshuo also knew that this younger brother would only say this if he followed him now.
When I came closer, I could see the true face of the entire teleportation array more intuitively.
The pedestal is a circular array made of stones, with a diameter of more than 20 meters. There are countless dense sigils engraved on it, even Ling Chen's identity as a sealer, but he can't understand any of them. If you stare at it for a long time, you will be dizzy and dizzy, and your heart will surge. On the other side of the stone platform is the core of the entire formation, similar to a platform-shaped altar, and the sigils on it are even more cumbersome. Liang Hanshuo told him that this was the place where the spirit stones were placed. The two ends of the teleportation array will jointly activate the magic circle, and the corresponding spirit stones will be added according to the number of passers-through to consolidate the spatial passage. In mid-air, there was only a black round hole, which fell directly above the stone platform. It's quiet, bottomless, and you can't see everything inside. This place is heavily guarded by the garrison of the Peace Alliance day and night, and if anyone tries to destroy the teleportation array, they will be killed directly on the spot.
At this time, I can see a few people writing and painting on the stone platform, turning over and walking from time to time, thinking that it is time to do a final inspection. By noon, all the preparations were ready. An elder walked to the altar, and with a flash of white light in his hand, a huge spirit stone appeared in the altar.
In fact, many of the people present were just to witness this rare spirit stone. Most of the spirit stones that are usually used as currency are only the size of walnuts. And among them, the aura is more or less, and the folk have their own set of exchange ratios. Today's spirit stone is as big as a basin, and the spiritual power in it is abundant, just looking at the glass-colored brilliance flowing from the appearance is enough to dazzle. Such a spirit stone is not too expensive. However, this spirit stone is only used by the Peace Alliance to consume the teleportation array, as well as the operation of certain formations, and is not used as circulation. After all, the Peace Alliance controls the spirit stone veins of the entire continent, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it has a lot of money.
The spiritual power was infused, and the spirit stone faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, but in a moment, it became a gray-white ordinary rock. Then the runes on the stone platform sparked so brightly that the Piercing Man couldn't open his eyes. The black hole in mid-air then began to absorb it, as if it had swallowed up the surrounding light. Dots of blue light condense at the edge of the black hole, adding up to a lot. Gradually, an azure vortex was formed. When all the light gathers at the black hole, everything suddenly dissipates and returns to calm. While some people were still wondering if the formation was invalid, there were already a large number of unfamiliar faces on the stone platform. It's like a trick to change people.
When Ling Chen was surprised by the magic of the teleportation array, his eyes were constantly looking for those familiar sounds and shadows. Finally, he saw a chubby boy and a familiar face around him. Ling Chen smiled, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist. In the past month or so, since the second uncle had left him for so long, Ling Chen's smile was so bitter and happy.
"Dust!" I heard someone calling me from afar, and it seemed that I had found myself.
"I said, this boy must have been moved to tears when he saw me. In the blink of an eye, a figure flew over and hugged Ling Chen. "How's that, miss me. Wang Qingyun hugged Ling Chen and said happily.
Turning his head, Wang Qingyun pointed his finger at the three people behind him and said proudly: "Each of you owes me a meal." ”
"Obviously, you didn't take the initiative to climb up. "Wang Qingyu came over at the right time to dismantle the stage. "Brother Chen, you judge, we bet that whoever you greet first will owe a meal if you lose. As a result, my brother cheated and yelled as soon as he came up. ”
"This matter is indeed Brother Qingyun's victory. Shaoqing thinks that he should be a man only when he is upright..."Before he finished speaking, Wang Qingyun's look made Xu Ziqing shut his mouth.
"Since you all know what kind of person Qingyun is, why do you have to bet with him. Ling Chen said with a smile.
"See, even the dust has acquiesced. Willing to gamble and lose. Wang Qingyun was proud for a while, which made Wang Qingyu jump to his feet.
"Brother Dust is also bad. ”
Ling Chen couldn't help but laugh and came to the last person.
"Brother Chen. The girl stroked it lightly and saluted. This woman was dressed in a beautiful and elegant long skirt, with two small braids tied behind her, her long hair was naturally scattered, her face was delicate and handsome, and she looked slightly restrained and shy.
Ling Chen nodded and said: "They are like this, you don't have to be too restrained, everyone is a classmate, just tell us if you have anything, don't feel troublesome." "The girl's name is Ning Yuanru, and she is also a student of their academy. Ling Chen has some impressions, this woman is the only daughter of the Ning family in the town, and I heard that the family is relatively wealthy. It's just that this female personality is more introverted, and she doesn't talk much on weekdays. But after all, they are classmates in the same class, and there is a friendship. Liang Hanshuo and Dean Chuanyin had already told him some information about the academy before. The academy originally planned to recruit two more students, but in the end, only this girl broke through the Qi Cultivation Realm, so this time, they had no substitutes to use. In desperation, it had to be like this.
"Yes. The girl nodded.
There were a bunch of children chattering here, and Liang Hanshuo walked away in a funny way, leaving the space to them.
"The old dean didn't come?" Liang Hanshuo stared at Liu Yuan and said with an unkind face.
“......”
Of course Liu Yuan knew what Liang Hanshuo was talking about, this person was full of gangsters and extremely snobbish. Of course, the impression of Liang Hanshuo will not be very good.
After a while of tinkering from the Qiankun bag, he reluctantly took out two things and handed them to Liang Hanshuo.
"This is the martial art, this is the forty percent profit promised before. ”
Hearing this, Liang Hanshuo smiled happily.
"It's really sensible, it's worth looking forward to it for so long. After putting the two things away, Liang Hanshuo turned around and left.
"What about what you promised?" Liu Yuan saw that Liang Hanshuo took his things and left, and hurriedly asked.
"Don't worry, these children will be handed over to you before the first test. Let's honestly wait at Tongxin Academy. Liang Hanshuo waved his hand and left with a few children.
Looking at Liang Hanshuo in the distance, Liu Yuan felt a burst of worry in his heart. Shaking his head, he went about his work. He was busy with chores such as the reporting of the Peace Alliance and the daily sign-in of Tongxin Academy.
