Chapter Eighty-Four: The Mystery of the Cloud Piercing Tower
Yang Cheng said: "I know, but I can't leave Guransi yet, and I still have some very important things to complete." ”
"Huh?" Situ Huanlong was very questioning: "What can be more important than your life?" ”
Yang Cheng was silent for a moment, not knowing whether to believe Situ Huanlong, as the so-called pie did not fall from the sky, Situ Huanlong told himself these things, what was it for, was it really just because he won a game for him?
Situ Huanlong's eyes seemed to see through Yang Cheng's suspicions, and he grinned greatly: "I understand, Brother Cheng, if you don't want to, I won't force you to say it." ”
"After all, if it were me, I wouldn't open my heart to someone who has just known me for less than half a day."
Situ Huanlong's words with a smile on his face. Yang Cheng was even more unsure whether this man could be trusted, and said, "Brother Situ, can you tell me about the two major families you just mentioned, I want to understand." ”
Situ Huanlong said with a smile: "Don't look at the Gurans now, they seem to be peaceful, in fact, many of them have hidden forces, let's take the "Bi family" as an example, the Bi family is highly respected in Gulans, and the patriarch of the family, 'Bi Jiayan', has a wide network and has a huge influence in the western district of Gulans. The vendors in Gurans have to pay a certain fee to the Bi family every month to ensure that they are safe and sound in the Western District, and the Bi family will protect the vendors from being invaded by other forces. This tradition has been going on for hundreds of years, and the "Bi family" can be regarded as the old family of Gurans. Everyone knows it in Gurans. ”
Yang Cheng frowned, what is the difference between this kind of behavior and the underworld forces in modern society, it is just a disguised collection of protection money.
Situ Huanlong took a sip of tea and continued: "It is not for nothing that Bi Jiayan, the patriarch of the Bi family, can stand in this position today, Bi Jiayan is scheming, scheming, and the city government is very deep, and those who have dealt with him know that this person will never suffer, and he is a typical smiling tiger." The Bi family's achievements today also have a lot to do with Bi Jiayan. ”
"The student who died in the southern district of Gulansi a few days ago is Bi Jiayan's fourth son, Bi Jiayan's beloved son, and now Bi Jiayan is wantonly trying to find your hiding place in Gulansi, you better be careful."
And another family, "Wang family", although the strength of the Wang family is not as strong as the Bi family, but it is also not to be underestimated, the Wang family has always had a deep relationship with the Bi family, the eastern district of Gulans is the territory of the Wang family, the head of the Wang family is named "Wang Peiren, is a ruthless and vicious villain, this person has no scheming, joy, anger and sorrow are written on the face, a typical reckless man." ”
Over the years, the Wang family can have today's status, and it is also inseparable from the Bi family, Bi Jiayan and Wang Peiren have always been very close, and the two have each used each other's strength to fuel their own power, and now the eastern district is under the jurisdiction of Wang Peiren, but Wang Peiren's power has been greatly damaged recently, and there is no original glory. Wang Peiren, who was already angry, is now that his son has been killed, it is not so much that he is distressed, but that he is annoyed and angry, and now his position is not stable. Such a thing is even more detrimental to his majesty. How could someone else ride on his head like this, and naturally hold a grudge? ”
"Therefore, Brother Cheng, your situation is not optimistic, especially pay attention to this Bi family, Bi Jiayan has bad intentions and is the most dangerous." Situ Huanlong said so much, and his mouth was also a little dry, so he took a sip of tea slowly.
Yang Cheng listened to Situ Huanlong's analysis, and obviously felt that this man was a very shrewd person, holding all the information in his hands, and he had a feeling of strategizing. It's just that Yang Cheng is puzzled, who are the three major families of Gulansi, the Bi family, the Wang family, and the other family?
Yang Cheng said: "I see, who is the other family among the three major families of Guransi?" ”
Situ Huanlong smiled slightly and said, "Brother Cheng, you can rest assured that the other family will not affect you, you just need to take care of the Bi family and the Wang family." ”
Yang Cheng realized that these words made him smile slightly. Why is Situ Huanlong so confident, it seems that among the three major families, in addition to the Bi family and the Wang family, one of them is the Situ family.
Yang Cheng said: "Brother Situ, as the saying goes, the mouth of eating people is soft, and the hands of taking people are soft, and now you provide me with so much information, it shouldn't be unconditional, right?" ”
Situ Huanlong smiled appreciatively and said, "Brother Cheng is an understanding person, but I really don't have any other purpose, but if I have to say it, if you are willing, I would like to understand the heart of violence." ”
The corners of Yang Cheng's mouth raised, and sure enough, things were not so simple, and said, "Understood, do you want to learn the heart of violence?" ”
Situ Huanlong smiled after hearing this, and said: "How can this be, even if I want to learn, it is Brother Cheng's Kui Bao, how can I be strong." ”
"And what do you mean?"
Situ Huanlong's smiling face suddenly became serious, and said, "I want to appreciate how big the gap between my current strength and the real powerhouse is." ”
Yang Cheng was stunned, but he didn't expect Situ Huanlong's purpose to be so pure, which made him smile.
"There's a chance." Yang Cheng said.
"I believe it too." Situ Huanlong said: "Then now, Brother Cheng, you don't plan to leave Gulansi for the time being?" ”
"Well, I still have something to do." Yang Cheng said.
"Since this is the case, then I will also help you secretly, if you find any movement between the Bi family and the Wang family, I will have someone to remind you." Situ Huanlong said.
"Thank you." Yang Cheng thanked him.
Suddenly, Yang Cheng remembered the matter of the Cloud Piercing Tower and Zhuge Feng, and slowly looked towards the window, and after half a sound, Yang Cheng took a sip of tea.
Yang Cheng said: "There is a question I would like to ask Brother Situ. ”
"Please."
"The Cloud Piercing Tower of the Gurans Academy of Magic, have outsiders ever reached the top over the years?" Yang Cheng said.
Situ Huanlong was very happy when he faced this question, and asked, "Could it be that Brother Cheng has an idea?" ”
"No, how could I have an idea, it's just rumored that Zhuge Immortal has been piercing the top of the Cloud Tower, such a high tower, curious how he went up, with the strength of Zhuge Immortal, he should be able to fly up." Yang Cheng covered up, for fear of exposing his thoughts.
Situ Huanlong smiled lightly, as if he had seen through Yang Cheng's thoughts, and said: "I don't know how Zhuge Immortals go up, but there shouldn't be anyone who will go to that tower with their lives, there are many strong people in the Gulansi Magic Academy, and it is impossible for ordinary people to go up at all." ”
Yang Chenghu said suspiciously: "Then it is rumored that someone else has gone to the top of the tower through some extreme means?" For example, flying up on a magical beast, or flying up on a magician. ”
Situ Huanlong couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "There are enough students in the Academy of Magic, and there are many strong scholars, but why don't you dare to fly to the top of the tower?" Brother Cheng, have you noticed that whenever it is night, there will be a surge of energy at the top of the Cloud Piercing Tower, and those energies are used to isolate foreign enemies, even the eighth-order powerhouses of the Gurans Magic Academy will not be able to break through that magic barrier. ”
"The words of the Warcraft are even more ridiculous, if you ride a Warcraft and fly over the Magic Academy, the Warcraft will immediately lose all its abilities and be isolated from the Academy's enchantment, if you force it in, the Warcraft will lose its cultivation for a hundred years and become an ordinary animal. It is rumored that the ancient array of the magic academy is used to seal the ancient evil beasts, but it is not an ordinary place. ”
"If Brother Cheng really has such thoughts, I advise you to give up, and pay more attention to the revenge of the two families."
Situ Huanlong's words made Yang Cheng completely melancholy, although the Cloud Piercing Tower was designed by Yang Cheng himself, but he didn't expect such a big change. No wonder even Sima Lingyun couldn't reach the top of the tower, it turned out that there was a reason.
In this way, Yang Cheng's dream of climbing the tower was almost completely shattered, making him clench his fists.
Yang Cheng smiled lightly: "I'm a pawn, how dare I have such thoughts." It's just curious why everyone said that the Cloud Piercing Tower couldn't reach the top, but now I know the mystery after I understand it. ”
"Hmm." Situ Huanlong nodded and said: "It's best not to have ideas, some strong people in the magic academy are not easy to mess with, if you really provoke the masters in the academy, my ability is limited, and I really can't help it." ”
As Situ Huanlong spoke, he suddenly remembered the legend that had been circulating in Guransi, although no one knew whether it was true or not, but there was indeed such a rumor.
Situ Huanlong hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell Yang Cheng, "But ...... Legend has it that a hundred years ago, there was indeed a mysterious man who climbed to the top of the tower, although I don't know what means were used, but the legend of that man is still circulating in Gurans. ”
"Anyone made it to the top?" Yang Cheng seemed to see a glimmer of hope and asked hurriedly.
"Yes, legend has it that the man also stole several artifacts from the Gurans Academy of Magic, but I don't know if it's true or not. After all, legends are just legends. Situ Huanlong said.
Yang Cheng thought about it all his might, guessing who the man was on the one hand, and recalling the mystery of the Cloud Piercing Tower on the other hand. It seems that if that legend is true, there must be a way to crack it.
"I see, it's a legend after all, just listen to the story." Yang Cheng pretended not to care, slowly stood up, and said, "It's not early, my two friends are still waiting for me to go back at the inn, I'm afraid that going back too late will make them worry." Thank you, Brother Situ, for your kind tea hospitality. ”
Situ Huanlong smiled lightly and said, "You're welcome, it's also a kind of fate to know you as a friend." ”
"Goodbye." Yang Cheng said and stretched out his right hand in a friendly manner.
Situ Huanlong was also very face-saving, shook hands with Yang Cheng, and said, "If you have a chance, let me appreciate the violent heart." ”
"It's a deal."
"It's a deal."
After Yang Cheng talked to Situ Huanlong, he left the inn under Chen Yan's escort. When leaving, Situ Huanlong explained to Chen Yan and asked Chen Yan to tell Yang Cheng that if there is any difficulty or need, you can go to the "Guicheng Inn" to find the shopkeeper, and then tell the shopkeeper the code: In the middle of the night, the ghost knocks on the door, and the pedestrians on the road want to break their souls. After the shopkeeper receives the code, he will contact Chen Yan.
Yang Cheng nodded, and after remembering the code, he said goodbye to Chen Yan in the bustling streets of Guransi, and began to return the same way......
