Chapter 423: Fang City Rebellion: The Final Test?
In the blink of an eye, seven days have passed, and the trade fair has come to a perfect end yesterday.
In the past few days, a lot of good things have appeared in the boutique auctions, and even Tang Long couldn't help but make a few shots and won a few things that were useful to him.
However, in the past seven days, Tang Long's biggest gain was obviously not the auction, but the free trade fair, and in the next few free trade fairs, Tang Long had gained, even more than the few things he got from the auction, which helped him even more, including a jade slip that recorded some second-turn Dan Fang, which was his biggest gain this time.
At the same time, Fu Tong also successfully broke through the foundation building period in the past few days, so on the day of Fu Tong's breakthrough, Tang Long called everyone including Wei Kang and Qian Tao to eat a big meal at the Shanlin Inn to celebrate.
In the shop, Tang Long, who was sitting at the counter, let out a breath, put down the jade slip in his hand, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, with a stunned expression on his face.
"There are nearly thirty Dan prescriptions recorded in this fragmented jade slip, all of which are more than two Dan prescriptions, but unfortunately, all of the two or more Dan prescriptions are blurred and cannot be used at all, and even if there are only a few remaining two Dan prescriptions, only a few are still complete."
Shaking his head and putting away the jade slip, Tang Long looked out of the shop, and the laymen were still rubbing shoulders as they had been a few days ago, obviously not recovering from the pomp and circumstance of the fair.
Looking at these crowds, Tang Long calculated the time and muttered, "The time should be almost up......"
And just when Tang Long was muttering like this, two people walked outside the store, Tang Long looked over, couldn't help but smile, and greeted him: "How's the inquiry?" When will the ruins open? β
"There's news, good guy, it's exactly the same as what you said Tang Daoyou, Lu Hao's old guy really planned to quietly open the ruins with a few allies and eat alone, but in the end, he still showed some horses' feet, and was finally discovered by us. We've already told you about it, and I'm sure everyone knows about it by now! Wei Kang patted the dust on his body and said excitedly.
"The day after tomorrow?" Tang Long was not surprised when he heard the news. Because the original plot was also at this time. He thought slightly, then looked at Qian Tao again, "Who are the people involved?" β
"The owner Lu Hao, as well as Lu Hao's subordinates, Zhang Xiao and Shi Changming are all involved! Besides. I heard that most of the strong people in the foundation building period in Fang City have been invited, but the Ding Ghost Seniors of one of the Wine Tasting Workshops, as well as the Ghost Hand Daoist seniors, and Fu Tong's seniors, have not been invited! By the way, I heard that the ancestor of the Ling family and some other strong people of the older generation in the foundation building period were not invited! Qian Tao replied.
Tang Long nodded, showing a thoughtful look, and said secretly in his heart: "It seems that even if I changed the plot at the beginning, I have been subtly changing the plot in the past few days." But the final direction of the plot has not changed much. But that's exactly what I want. β
Without further ado, Tang Long called the two Ru'er siblings who were playing on the side, and after instructing them to help watch the shop, he took the two directly to the backyard, and then called out all the people who were in retreat.
Liang Qi, Ghost Hand Daoren, Fu Tong, except for Ru'er's two sisters and brothers who helped to watch the store in front, everyone arrived.
In the past few days, Liang Qi and Fu Tong have both been concentrating on retreat and consolidating their cultivation at the same time. It is also the reason why he is seizing the time to master the ability of the foundation building period, and the Ghost Hand Daoist is the reason why he has been delayed for some time because he was busy with the matter of Da Ye Yuan at the beginning, and he has been seizing the time to refine his superb magic weapon in the past few days.
As soon as everyone appeared, Wei Kang and Qian Tao hurriedly told everyone what they had just said to Tang Long again.
And wait until Wei Kang and Qian Tao finish saying a word. The three of them were speechless.
After being silent for a while, the Ghost Hand Daoist with an extremely ugly face was the first to speak, he slapped the stone table with an angry face, and said angrily: "Originally, when Tang Shao said this, the old man didn't believe it, but he didn't expect it to be true. That guy Lu Hao really plans to eat alone! β
"Lu Hao, this is trying to turn the sky upside down, right! The ancient ruins of Shanlinfang City, which are the property of the entire Fang City, he really dared to eat alone, and he was not afraid of choking to death! Fu Tong was also indignant.
"I don't know if he will choke to death, but I know that this time, he is determined to take the entire Fang City into his hands!" The cold light in Liang Qi's eyes flashed, and he said coldly.
As early as a few days ago, after Fu Tong's breakthrough was successful, Tang Long had told the three of them some things.
For example, Lu Hao's ambition.
For another example, some of Lu Hao's plans this time, and Lu Hao may be very close to some people in Fang City, and it is likely that he will make 'speculations' about something in the near future.
At that time, several people discussed this matter, and under Tang Long's intentional guidance, they soon thought of something.
It's just that, after all, it was just speculation at that time, and everyone didn't care, or they couldn't believe that Lu Hao really dared to risk the world's condemnation and monopolize the benefits of the ancient ruins.
However, now it seems that this qiΔ should be true.
Silence, after the three of them said a word, they fell silent again.
Obviously, after the anger at the beginning, at this time, they were finally Yan zhΓ²ng Cheng dΓΉ who knew about it!
"Lu Hao, he wants to break through the dangerous place in the ancient ruins!"
"It should be right, since he dares to do this, most likely he has a certain certainty! Moreover, he is now a half-step Jindan cultivator, he must want to take this opportunity to break through to the Jindan stage in one go! β
"Once Lu Hao breaks through, Lu Hao, who was originally ambitious, will inevitably bring a major reshuffle to Shanlinfang City in order to completely control Shanlinfang City!"
The big shuffle!
Whether it was the two of them or Liang Qi, when they thought of this possibility, they all trembled!
That's the golden pill period!
If this qiΔ really happens, there is no doubt that none of them will be able to escape, and they must be purged and exterminated, or completely surrendered, and the former may have a greater chance!
This can be seen from the fact that Lu Hao did not inform them to open the ancient ruins in advance at all!
The expressions of the three of them changed, Tang Long naturally saw it in his eyes, but when everyone was silent, he spoke: "Presumably now you all know the severity of things, right?" Now is not the time to hesitate! β
"We hesitated at the front, which is completely understandable. After all, the situation was unclear at the time, and even if we guessed this at the time, we didn't dare to risk losing both sides rashly before we were sure. Even the risk of falling and shooting directly, because the gains outweigh the losses! β
"Moreover, in that case, we really had no evidence, and the teacher was unknown. Can't pull any allies at all! And if it is just with the strength of a few of us, there is no certainty at all! β
"But now, we only have two days left! There was no time for us to hesitate at all! Either fight with Lu Hao and them once, or, leave Shanlinfang City! Make your choice! β
Tang Long's words were sonorous and powerful, word by word, carrying a faint oppressive force, and slammed into the hearts of the three people, making the faces of the three of them more and more ugly!
Although they themselves knew that after this matter was confirmed. They had to make a choice, but when it came, they still couldn't believe it!
Is it a fight?
Or leave?
It's a two-way choice, and it's also a choice that will determine their fate in the future!
If it is a fight, there is no doubt that the only way for them to do so is to contact other forces in Fang City, even forces outside Fang City, and fight to the death with Lu Hao and them!
This is no longer a trivial fight of the usual conflict of interests, but a life-and-death crisis. In this case, once the war starts, it is definitely your life and death, no exceptions!
And this one is a choice. There are so many uncertainties that even their odds of winning are not even tenth!
After all, Lu Hao's strength is too terrifying, not to mention the two loyal and powerful assistants under him, as well as Lu Hao's own terrifying strength. Just some of the other powerhouses he allied with who were close to him were already representing the vast majority of the powerhouses in the area of Shanlinfang City!
And more importantly, if they choose this path, how much help can they find, and how many forces are willing to believe in them, which is a fatal question!
And another option, leave Shanlinfang City!
This is obviously not what the ghost hand people are willing to do!
Leaving represents giving up, which is not only to give up their home in Shanlinfang City, but also to give up the qiΔ they have accumulated over the years, including connections, including dignity!
What is the purpose of a cultivator's life?
Fighting for your life with the sky?
Perhaps, but that's obviously for a small number of people, or for the really strong!
However, for ordinary low-level cultivators like the Ghost Hand Daoists, and even for them who were far away from even breaking through the Golden Pill Stage, this was obviously too far away!
What they really value now is just to go further!
And what does it take to go further?
It is nothing more than the four demands of cultivators, and the Dharma and wealth are all over the place!
Dharma: Teachings, methods.
Wealth: No wealth is not enough to support the Tao.
Couple: If you learn alone and have no friends, you will be lonely and unheard.
Place: A place of monasticism, a dojo.
It can be said that for the Ghost Hand Daoists, Shanlinfang City is their 'land', and the relationship that has been established for decades is 'couple'!
As for law and wealth, it goes without saying!
And once they give up Shanlinfang City, it means that the cultivation foundation they have been operating for decades will all have to be abandoned!
In this case, if it is not really a last resort, who wants to give up?
Especially for people like them, who have long since lost the kind of heroic spirit that they had when they first stepped into the cultivation path, and who were about to seek immortality, it was even more of a fatal blow that could not be beared!
Give up, it's no different from just letting them die!
After a long while, the three of them finally spoke.
"Let's fight!"
The first one to speak was the Ghost Hand Daoist, as mentioned above, in his current situation, he really didn't want to give up and leave.
At least, he would never give up so lightly until he was forced to do so!
His eyes flashed with war intent, and he said in a deep voice: "The old man has lived in Shanlinfang City for more than a hundred years, this place is already the root of the old man, let the old man leave, the old man really can't do it, even if there is a slight chance, the old man doesn't want to leave!" β
Fu Tong on the side, after hearing the words of the ghost hand Taoist, his face was full of excitement, and he also said loudly: "That's right, this place is already our home!" If I had to choose, it would be a war! What about Lu Hao? Although he is indeed powerful, at least he hasn't broken through the Jindan stage yet, has he? We're afraid of him! Fight to fight! β
Fu Tong's situation is obviously stricter than that of the ghost hand Taoist, after all, Fu Tong has just broken through, and before the breakthrough, he is already planning to die of old age in Shanlinfang City, for him, Shanlinfang City, and even the place where he has always been buried, let him leave, it is simply impossible!
Tang Long nodded to the two of them, and finally looked at Liang Qi.
"Don't look at me! It's not that you don't know about me, even if you leave, I will never leave, even if I die, I will bite off that group of miscellaneous pieces of meat! "Liang Qi's murderous intent is monstrous.
Call! ~
Tang Long exhaled heavily, just as several people were waiting for Tang Long's final decision.
Suddenly, Tang Long laughed: "Okay! I was not mistaken! In that case, then I won't say anything more! β
Tang Long suddenly laughed, making the three of them stunned for a while, when was this, Tang Long could still laugh!
But then, at the same time as Tang Long's words fell, several people saw Tang Long take out a few pieces of golden paper and put them on the stone table: "Congratulations, you have successfully passed my final test!" This is the Book of Contracts! Sign the contract and we're really a family! And here, I can assure you! This time, Lu Hao will be defeated! Not only that, but I can also assure you that any of you present can at least break through the Golden Pill Period! If nothing else, it is not impossible to reach the Yuan Infant Stage, or even to a higher realm......"
The ultimate test?
The Ghost Hand Daoists, including Wei Kang and Qian Tao, were all stupid at this moment, their heads were blank, and they didn't know how to speak at all.
In a daze, the Ghost Hand Daoist subconsciously looked down at the golden papers on the stone table, and then looked at Tang Long, the corners of his mouth grinned slightly, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything at all, only stunned.
Fu Tong and Liang Qi were still completely immersed in Tang Long's words just now, especially the words 'Lu Hao will be defeated' to Tang Long, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.
And Wei Kang and Qian Tao were directly stunned by Tang Long's last sentence.
What did Tang Long just say?
Guarantee that they can all break through the Jindan period?
Moreover, if nothing else, it is not impossible for the Yuan Infant Stage, and even to reach a higher realm......
This......
Mutter~
Wei Kang swallowed half of the saliva in his throat, but he couldn't swallow it, he almost choked to death, he coughed a few times, but he didn't care about these at all, but stared at Tang Long deadly, as if he wanted to see from Tang Long's flat smile whether Tang Long was joking or not. (To be continued.) )
ps: Migraine again, I don't know if it's a sign of a cold for the time being, depressed, I'm really afraid of a cold, it's too uncomfortable, coughing to death......
