Chapter Twenty-Four: The City Within the City
In the evening, after the sky was dark, the crowd outside the door gradually dispersed, and Wang Tuo was able to escape.
scolded the group of unrighteous guys in his mouth, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, celebrities are really not easy to do.
When he sneaked all the way back to the academy, he was suddenly stopped, Wang Tuo sighed in his heart, the fans were so crazy, they all chased to the academy.
"Division~!Brother~!, why are you so sneaky?"
Wang Tuo turned around to check, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and after a little salute, Cancan responded, "It turned out to be senior sister, I thought it was a fan blocking the door."
"Less smelly and beautiful you, I heard that you have shined in the recent competition, and now they are all celebrities, but it is difficult to find, let Senior Sister and I wait here stupidly all afternoon" Li Ruoman teased.
Wang Tuo had no choice but to deal with "where, where, it's just luck"
"Don't fight with me, haha" Li Ruoman glanced at him in disgust, and then seemed to remember something, so he said, "Master is looking for you, go over now"
Wang Tuo immediately nodded in response, after all, the elder of the pavilion is very respected in Wang Tuo's heart, Wang Tuo can progress so far in such a short period of time, without the help of the elder of the pavilion, it is impossible to rely on himself.
After Li Ruoman finished explaining, he turned around and walked towards the academy, remembering that Li Ruoman had said that he had been waiting here for an afternoon, so he didn't delay anymore and immediately rushed to Ge Lao's bookstore.
The door of the store was closed, Wang Tuo stepped forward and knocked lightly, and the hidden door was knocked open, and then stepped in.
"Elder Ge, are you looking for me?" Wang Tuo saw him sitting in the tea room waiting, so he saluted.
Seeing his arrival, the elder waved his palm lightly to let him sit down on his side, and after Wang Tuo sat down, he picked up the teapot and filled it with a half-full teacup.
"How's the progress of cultivation today?" asked the elder after taking a sip of the teacup.
Wang Tuo immediately replied, "Just broke through the Yuan Division"
After hearing this, Elder Ge tapped his fingers on the armrest on the reclining chair, as if thinking about things, "According to this day, your cultivation intensity can be imagined."
"It's just that your temper has to be changed, even if you have the chance to win, don't despise your opponent because of this"
Wang Tuo knew in his heart that the elder of the pavilion must have heard about entering the venue in his sleep today, and he may even be at the venue at that time.
I simply don't explain much, "The lesson of the elder is that the students must correct it in the future"
"Today's teacher asked you to come over, I plan to introduce you to a nobleman, of course, there is also a great risk in this opportunity, I don't know if you are interested"
Wang Tuo's heart couldn't help but tremble after hearing this, the biggest purpose of this trip is to quickly become stronger, so that he has absolute strength, to find out the truth about the murder of his parents, and what the elder said has a sharp temptation to Wang Tuo at this time.
"Interested" Wang Tuo replied without thinking too much.
The elder who received an affirmative answer took out an envelope from his sleeve, handed it to Wang Tuo with a purple gold token, and said solemnly, "The benefit is always proportional to the risk, if you regret it, you can return this object to me at any time, but the time limit for regret is before you meet that person, this token is a companion pass to enter the inner city, and you can go to the place in the envelope tomorrow."
Wang Tuo took the envelope and token, then got up and saluted a little and said, "Thank you for your kindness."
After hearing this, Ge Lao just chuckled and said, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me, whether it's a blessing or a curse depends on how you grasp it."
"That's all I have to tell you today."
After hearing this, Wang Tuo immediately got up and said, "Then the disciple will stop bothering, teacher, you should rest early."
With that, Wang Tuo turned around and went downstairs.
Ge Lao stood in front of the window, looked at Wang Tuo's departing back, sighed lightly, and then said to himself, "A child of this age cultivates so hard."
The figure hidden in the shadow of the corner walked out slowly, sat down on the place where Wang Tuo was before, and poured tea and tasted lightly.
"A genius who cultivates hard, a coquettish son full of good fortune, I've seen a lot of things in my life, but it's a pity... Most of them are short-lived."
Walking on the road, Wang Tuo took out the purple gold token in his sleeve, the dazzling gems were inlaid with the periphery, the central part outlined a long sword, the thumb caressed on the token, and constantly weighed the pros and cons in his heart, although his own cultivation speed far exceeded that of his peers, but this is still far from enough, with the passage of time, the clues of the parents' murder will gradually decrease, if it is slowly improved, when there is enough strength, I am afraid that the only remaining clues will disappear, standing on the street, looking at the towering wall in the distance, that is the place that everyone in Zhu Yucheng desires, the city within the cityใ
Now that a decision has been made, let's not think about it too much, but take it one step at a time.
Wang Tuo, who returned to the academy, immediately sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice "Fighting Spirit", the dantian continued to outline the formation, one hundred and eight points and lines were implicated in the elemental force, so that the outline could be roughly outlined, and in the previous three days of crazy practice, it was tightly outlined to 32 points, and the further it went, the more arduous it became, and the speed decreased exponentially.
Turning back further, the dotted line outlined in the second volume of "Spirited and Immortal" climbed to 1680, which made Wang Tuowang daunted, at least he did not plan to revise the second volume for a short time.
The fastest thing in cultivation is time, and seeing that the appointed time is almost there, he gets up and walks outside.
Just stepped out of the door and inadvertently bumped into someone.
"Hu Di, where are you going to go with this big bag" Wang Tuo looked at it, Hu Di at this time was originally white and tender, his chubby face was already crying, and his eyes were even more bloodshot.
"Did someone bully you?" tell me, I'll teach him a lesson for you," Wang Tuo stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.
Hu Di frowned, thought for a moment and said, "It's nothing, it's just that someone in the family died, and I have to go back to pay respects."
Hu Di squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, trying to make Wang Tuo not worry about himself.
Wang Tuo's expression couldn't help but be gloomy, and the pain of losing his loved ones was naturally clear, but he didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only whisper "Festival mourning"
Looking at Hu Di's departing figure, he overlapped with himself at that time in a trance.
Wang Tuo gathered his mind, opened the envelope in his sleeve, and stood on the white paper with three short words, "Drunken Immortal Pavilion" got up and rushed out after knowing the address.
At the gate of the inner city, the high wall of the boulder pile is a hundred zhang high, stand down and look at it, it is difficult to see its top, the grandeur of the city wall is incompatible with the size of the city gate, it seems to be in a mouse hole under a high wall, the closer the crowd is, the more sparse, when the distance of 100 meters in front of the city gate, there is no human figure at all, only Wang Tuo walks towards the city gate alone.
It wasn't until Wang Tuo approached that he realized that it was not that the city gate was too narrow, but that the city wall was too vast under its background, and the city gate as high as several zhang also looked stingy.
The gate was heavily guarded, and dozens of heavily armored guards were lined up with giant swords on their backs, but after seeing that they were holding the token, they immediately let them go, with an extremely modest attitude.
