034, before leaving
There are words in ancient books, standing on four legs, and the sky is round. This sentence means that the sky is round, the earth is square, and there are four heavenly pillars in the south, east, west, and northwest, which support the whole world.
What about outside the world? Someone once asked. The sage replied that beyond the world, there was an endless void, and there was an endless meta-magnetic storm blowing in the void, which could destroy all things.
Therefore, everyone in the world knows that the pillar of heaven protects the world, and once the pillar of heaven falls, the world will be destroyed.
Lingyu came back from Xuanming Palace and traveled all the way.
Although Han Funing didn't tell it clearly, he still vaguely hinted that what he was plotting was outside the world.
This made Lingyu excited, although she felt that Han Funing was not very reliable, but she was not qualified to pick fat and thin, so she had to endure it.
As for what Han Funing wanted her to do, she didn't think too much, if Han Funing just wanted cannon fodder, she wouldn't be able to look for her. She can only try her best to make herself stronger, even if things are not harmonious, she can still have some means to save her life.
In the afternoon, Lingyu went to find Zhang Qingshu.
After such a while, Zhang Qingshu had already found a few classmates, and when he saw her coming, he first pulled her aside alone: "Senior Sister Cheng, Master Funing is looking for you, is there anything wrong?" β
His words of concern made Lingyu's heart warm, and he replied: "Senior brother, don't worry, it's nothing." β
Seeing that her expression was the same, Zhang Qingshu put his mind at ease and patted her on the shoulder: "It's okay." Come, let's discuss which way to go and what to collect. β
The two returned to the small hall, there were already three disciples sitting in the hall, two men and one woman, Lingyu all recognized, one of them was Liu Weiyi's disciple Yu Xiyin, and the other two were Zhang Qingshu's friends, one was called Taiyu, and the other was Sheng Yangqiu.
Lingyu had a good relationship with the people in their circle, and after saying hello casually, he sat down next to Yu Xiyin.
"Senior Sister Yu, why are you here too?" As far as Lingyu knows, Yu Xiyin is very popular among Liu Weiyi's first-vote disciples, and she is average with Zhang Qingshu, and even she can't compare.
Yu Xiyin raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a reluctant smile, but did not answer her question.
Just asked casually, and at this time, looking at Yu Xiyin's reaction, Lingyu realized that there was a problem, but now was not the time to ask this, so he kept silent.
"Senior Sister Cheng, before you came, we had a preliminary discussion and thought it was good to take the southwest road." Zhang Qingshu tapped on the large map on the desktop and asked her opinion, "What do you think?" β
Lingyu looked at the map. The country of Yan where they are located is the largest country in the world, just located in the middle of the earth, on the border of the four directions, and there are some small countries each, whether it is national strength or people's livelihood, it is completely incomparable with the country of Yan. Among them, the north side is bitterly cold, an ice field, and the population is sparse; The western side is full of forests and is home to wild beasts; To the east there are high mountains, which are difficult for mortals to tread; To the south is Mizusawa Island, which stretches all the way to Antarctica. The whole piece of land, in the shape of a half-moon, resembles a fat and short banana.
"Senior brothers and sisters, why did you choose the southwest?" In Lingyu's opinion, the southwest is not a good choice. Let's talk about the north side first, although there are not many materials produced here, but there have always been few people, and it is too cold to have large beasts, it is a good place to go, but it will be a little harder, because their cultivation is not high enough, and they will not be able to stand it if it is too cold. In the east, there are the most materials, and it is close to the bustling area, so you know that there are the most people who go, and the competition must be fierce. The island in the south is also good, there are a lot of materials produced in the sea, and now there is an accident in Antarctica, there are masters in charge, and there will be no dangerous monsters. But they chose the southwest, the place with the most wild beasts, there are many wild beasts, and there are many demon beasts, although there are a lot of materials, but it is also dangerous.
Zhang Qingshu asked: "Senior sister thinks it's inappropriate?" β
"It's not ......," Lingyu thought for a while and said, "There are a lot of materials produced in the southwest, and if we dare to fight, it should be easy to complete the task." β
Zhang Qingshu said with a smile: "Senior Sister Cheng is right, that's what we think." β
Lingyu's gaze swept over the four of them with a slight suspicion, and the strange feeling in her heart became even stronger. These people are either valued by the master, or they have a family behind them, and they don't know how easy their lives are, how could they think of taking risks?
Under her gaze, Zhang Qingshu smiled a little awkwardly and said, "Don't hide it from Senior Sister, we heard that this reward is very generous." β
"Oh......" It seems that they have received some news, and the reward for completing the task is very good. But she still felt strange, no matter how generous the rewards were, these elite disciples didn't need to fight with their lives, they cultivated step by step, and the possibility of them becoming mages was still very high.
Lingyu's mind turned, and she listened to Zhang Qingshu: "If Senior Sister Cheng has no opinion, then it's decided?" β
"Okay." Lingyu didn't ask any more.
"Then let's discuss the route. To the southwest, there are two roads, one to go to the city of Goran and the other to take the Ciro Avenue......"
After discussing for an hour, the matter was roughly settled, and the five of them went back to their respective homes.
Lingyu deliberately walked with Yu Xiyin. The two walked silently for a quarter of an hour, and Yu Xiyin stopped helplessly: "Senior Sister Cheng, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask, you have followed me around twice." β
is very familiar with Yu Xiyin, Lingyu didn't feel embarrassed, hehe laughed twice: "Senior Sister Yu, what happened, you didn't go with the senior sisters?" β
Yu Xiyin smiled bitterly: "I know that you girl won't let me go." She paused, then sighed again, "I don't even know what to say, anyway, because of some misunderstandings, Senior Sister Ding thought that I was carrying her behind her back to deal with Senior Brother Meng, and the senior sisters believed it, so I ......"
"Senior Sister Ding, Senior Brother Meng?" Lingyu was even more weird, "Something is wrong with the two of them?" β
Senior Sister Ding is Liu Weiyi's first apprentice Ding Huaqing, and Senior Brother Meng is Ding Huaqing's childhood sweetheart Meng Xuefeng, these two are famous like glue. Lingyu is not very familiar with Ding Huaqing, and she has only met Meng Xuefeng a few times, but this does not prevent her from knowing the situation of these two people - where there are many women, there is a lot of gossip, although they are still just a group of girls.
Yu Xiyin looked at her with a strange expression: "Why do you say that something is wrong with them as soon as I open my mouth?" β
Lingyu said: "Isn't this normal? With the good Cheng dΓΉ of the two of them, it's not that there is a problem, even if you have a relationship with Senior Brother Meng, there is no need to doubt it! β
Yu Xiyin was stunned: "It seems to be ...... That's right, too. β
"Is there something wrong with them?"
"Kind of." Yu Xiyin said uncertainly, "You know, I have a general relationship with Senior Brother Meng, and I don't know each other very well. However, a few days ago, I happened to bump into Senior Brother Meng getting drunk, so I took care of him and asked someone to send him back. Later, he came to me to express his gratitude, and then met him twice, but it turned out to be so coincidental that he was bumped into by Senior Sister Ding. I also think it's strange that you say that, obviously I live close to Senior Sister Ding, but Senior Brother Meng didn't mean to see Senior Sister Ding......"
"If that's the case, Senior Sister Yu, don't take it to heart, I think Senior Brother Meng is trying to take advantage of your anger Senior Sister Ding. Well, Senior Sister Ding, it's a little stingy, we already knew, there's nothing to be angry about, and when they reconcile, this matter will be resolved. β
"That's what I said, but I'm ......," Yu Xiyin said and sighed. She didn't care about being misunderstood by Ding Huaqing, what she cared about was that so many senior sisters usually had a good relationship, but they joined forces to isolate her, but she didn't want to say this to Lingyu.
"Don't think about it so much, this time when you go out, senior sister should be relaxed. By the way, why do several senior brothers want to go to the southwest? Even if the rewards are huge, are they so urgent? Lingyu didn't pay attention to the troubles of the youthful friendship between the girls, and quickly asked about another thing that she thought was important.
Yu Xiyin had no choice but to put her mind down for the time being, and patiently explained to her: "Senior Sister Cheng, your cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds in the past few years, of course you don't know their troubles. Senior Brother Qingshu is just that, just like me, it has not been long since he entered the fifth layer of qi refining, Senior Brother Tangtai has stayed in the fifth layer of qi refining for five years, and Senior Brother Sheng has also been in the sixth layer of qi refining for three years. Now that there are cracks in Tianzhu Mountain in Antarctica, in case the situation is severe, the higher the cultivation, the more capital they have to survive, and they are in a hurry to break through. β
"Oh......" Thinking about it like this, it makes sense, the heavenly pillar is really cracked, can you still rely on the family master to eat and wait for death? However, Lingyu was more interested in another answer, "Eh, Senior Sister, what exactly is the reward?" β()
