Chapter 124: Four Directions to the Sky and Due East
At that time, Xiang Cheng took Gan Ning and a group of six people to leave the Wei County camp, and he was inexplicably a little lost, as if you decided to give up the goddess you had been chasing for many years, or your beloved toy was finally going to be sealed one day. It's a feeling that can't be explained, but maybe it's a little lighter than the loss.
To the east of Wei County is a small hill, and there is a flat place on the top of this mountain, and six people stand on horseback, looking at the west from afar, and can vaguely see the outline of this big city of Wei County above the horizon.
"Let's go." After the melancholy was over, Xiang Cheng said these two words dryly, turned his head and rode towards the east. Maybe in his heart, this place can't go back after all, but what he didn't expect was that he would return here again two months later.
Xiang Cheng didn't know how others felt, but he must be sad at the moment. And his sadness was perfectly destroyed by Yu Ji: "You are wrong, the direction shown by my compass is due north." ”
Turning his head, except for Yu Ji, who looked at Xiang Cheng with confusion in his eyes, the other three all looked at him with a little playfulness and mockery. However, this atmosphere suddenly broke the heaviness just now, Xiang Cheng scratched his head embarrassedly, and said: "You can laugh if you want to, is it uncomfortable to hold back?" ”
At this time, Gan Ning, Guo Jia, Zhang Ning, and Ma Zhong straddled the horse and laughed, and Xiang Cheng also laughed awkwardly, only Yu Ji looked at these strange things around him with a confused face.
Young people are sometimes good at this, and the pain comes and goes quickly. After packing up his mood, Xiang Cheng asked, "Can the Yu Immortals know the approximate location of this Chu King's relic." Yu Ji is now irrelevant to everything, but this "all things" definitely do not include the relics of the King of Chu. Hearing Xiang Cheng ask, Yu Ji immediately became interested, and said: "This treasure of the King of Chu, according to my master's record, is at the junction of Youzhou and Jizhou, which is why I waited in Youzhou last time, and it happened that it was ........"
"Ahem." Although there were no outsiders around, Xiang Cheng was definitely unwilling to make the secret he and Xiang Ji had to tell the public like this, seeing that Yu Ji was about to leak his mouth, Xiang Cheng hurriedly coughed twice.
Fortunately, Yu Ji also realized this problem and hurriedly changed his words: "Coincidentally, a few days ago, this relic aura was leaked. He glanced at Xiang Cheng as he spoke. So that this compass received the aura, and now we just need to follow this compass. ”
Gan Ning took advantage of the old god's boasting to blame, snatched the compass in his hand, and looked left and right through the sunlight: "This broken copper plate is so powerful?" Yu Ji's hand was empty, he was stunned for a moment, but when he came back to his senses, he saw Gan Ning lifting the compass above his head and playing with it, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: "Gan Xingba!" You bunny, give me my compass back! ”
Seeing that the old man was in a hurry, Gan Ning was playful, and then said: "This broken compass grandpa can give you countless ones, why are you in a hurry?" Believe it or not, grandpa, I smashed this compass for you. Gan Ning is casual, it seems that in addition to being able to restrain three points in front of Xiang Cheng, the people next to him can't help him.
Yu Ji snorted angrily, and before he could answer, he only heard someone next to him laugh and say: "Xingba has always been a good talker, Yu Xianren, you still hurry up and beg for mercy." Yu Ji turned his head, and these words came from the mouth of Ma Zhong, who had been with Gan Ning for a long time.
Yu Ji snorted coldly and said provocatively: "Hmph, this compass involves the relics of the King of Chu, I don't believe that this little rabbit cub really dares to smash it for my grandfather." The crowd burst into laughter.
To say that Gan Ning really didn't dare to do anything with this compass just now, it was nothing more than a naughty child's heart, relying on his own strength to see others and his own anxious eyes. And now everyone's laughter annoyed Gan Ning, and this unprovoked temperament came out at once.
Just listening to the sound of "click", the copper compass came into close contact with the land, and the surrounding laughter also stopped abruptly with this "click".
Xiang Cheng, Ma Zhong, Guo Jia and Zhang Ning's expressions were all frozen on this door, and no one expected that Gan Ning would really smash this compass. But Yu Ji lost his voice and roared: "Little rabbit, I'll kill you!" As he spoke, he jumped up from his horse and rushed straight to Ganning.
It's true: die before leaving the school, and the hero will be full of tears. As soon as he stepped out of the Yellow Turban camp, the compass shattered first.
Gan Ning's anger also disappeared with the destruction of the compass, and seeing that Yu Ji pounced on him without resisting, I am afraid that he still has a little apology in his heart. As soon as the two men came into contact, they rolled off their horses and writhed on the ground. And none of the people who returned to God stopped them, but watched happily.
Yu Ji pinched Gan Ning's neck and kept shouting: "Little rabbit cub! Little bastard! Lao Tzu strangled you! Gan Ning didn't reply in a rare way, but just slowly held Yu Ji, at least he couldn't let him really strangle himself to death.
The old man made a fuss for a while, but Yu Ji stopped first. It's not that Yu Ji is generous and tolerant, but this physical strength is really not comparable to that of a young and strong young man. Sitting on the ground, he said indignantly to everyone: "You don't stop you? ”
"Aren't we afraid that you won't be able to get angry when you get old?" Xiang Cheng saw the farce end, so he said calmly: "Besides, I don't know if you have heard a sentence called 'It's not a big deal to watch the excitement'?" Hahahaha. ”
Yu Ji was speechless for a while, and stopped talking for a while, and Gan Ning next to him also sat up, smirking next to him "hehe". Yu Ji was angry and annoyed, and slapped Gan Ning the back of the head.
"Okay, let's get down to business, can this compass be repaired?" Xiang Cheng dismounted, picked up the compass on the ground, handed it to Yu Ji, and spoke.
Yu Ji took it back, wiped it with his cuffs, and then said: "It can be repaired, but whether it can be used after this repair is two words." ”
"Why can't I use it?" Guo Jia was also interested.
Yu Ji rolled his eyes, and now you think of this compass? I didn't see anyone stopping Gan Ning just now: "If you can't measure the location, it's okay, if the measured location is not the treasure land......"
"Isn't that just a run for nothing!" Gan Ning arranged flowers, and suddenly stopped drying.
"Hmph, it's okay to run in vain, if we encounter any wild beasts and traps, our lives will have to be put into it." Yu Ji said indignantly.
After saying this, Yu Ji ignored others and kept taking out some bits and pieces from his big treasure pocket. There are words in his mouth, anyway, I don't know what kind of mantra he is reciting, or he is cursing Gan Ning for being ignorant. And the five people who repaired the compass couldn't help, only Yu Ji was busy here.
For a whole noon and an afternoon, Xiang Cheng and the others had eaten dry food twice, and Yu Ji made the compass move.
"Alright, alright!" At this time, Yu Ji was excited like a child, wiped the sweat oozing from the corners of his forehead and said with a smile. The crowd gathered around and held their breath to watch the hands on the compass spin rapidly, from slow to fast and from fast to slow.
Finally, the hand swung twice, but it was pointing due east. Everyone was apprehensive for a while, and in the morning, they clearly remembered that Yu Ji had said that the pointer at that time was due north.
Seeing everyone's solemn expressions, Xiang Cheng, who was the backbone of the heart, spat out a turbid breath and said: "It's a blessing or a curse, head to the east, set off!" ”
At this moment, Xiang Ji said in his mind: "I just said that it is right to go due east!" Look at whether this pointer is pointing to the East! ”
