Volume 2: The Wind Rises in the Yuanyang Continent Chapter 53: The Ring Match
The time of the night passed quickly, Li Xuan and they were halfway through their cultivation and lay on the bed to rest, they didn't say anything all night, the next day Li Xuan and they got up early in the morning, and today they were going to go around to find out about the news about the castle trial.
The content of the trial in each castle is different, so they must try to understand the content of the trial as much as possible before entering, if they rush into the castle without understanding the content of the trial, then they will inevitably encounter many unexpected situations.
Li Xuan and the five of them came to the hotel outside, whether it was between mortals or monks, the hotel was always a place with complicated personnel, and it was also the place where news flowed the most.
Li Xuan and the five of them came to a place by the window and sat down, and then the shopkeeper came to Li Xuan's side, "What do you want to eat, you guests, we are the only hotel in the whole city, and we guarantee that the food in this restaurant is good wine and good food."
Li Xuan ordered some food, but they didn't ask for wine, although this is a hotel, but the shopkeeper didn't show a little color, and still served Li Xuan and them with a smile.
Most of the ingredients here are the mysterious beasts hunted in the trial, and it is precisely because there are enough mysterious beasts here and no one manages them that these hotels can be opened.
"Brother, I heard that there is a trial castle near you, I don't know what news there is?" After Li Xuan waited for the dishes to come up, he asked the shopkeeper.
"Oh, guest officer, you're asking the right question, we're the most well-informed place here, and our boss has even gone to the castle trial himself. When the shopkeeper heard Li Xuan's inquiry, he said proudly.
"Oh, then you should tell us more carefully. When Li Xuan heard the shopkeeper's words, he pulled the shopkeeper down and sat down near him, and then took out a handful of dark stones and stuffed it to the shopkeeper.
Come to the hotel, in addition to eating and drinking is to inquire about the news, so the shop is not strange, and basically every shop in the city is very welcome to guests to inquire about the news, you know, in order to get the accuracy of the news, the guests will generally give the shop a little bit of tips, Li Xuan obviously knows this, so he pulled the shop boy to sit down and gave the shop a handful of lower grade stones.
For these shopkeepers, the inferior Xuanshi is an extremely good thing, not only can it be used as currency, but also for cultivation, so it is also very willing, there is no way, when the shopkeeper is the second, except for those big families' business empires, other people can't afford to hire advanced cultivators to do this job.
Especially in the shops that were temporarily opened in this market, most of the shopkeepers were the entourages brought in by the boss when he entered the ruins trial, and even more of them were servants who had no cultivation ability.
The shopkeeper accepted the Xuanshi handed over by Li Xuan, and immediately became very happy, and then completely introduced the specific situation of the nearby castle to Li Xuan.
"Guest officer, I haven't been in it myself, but I've heard from our boss and the passing travelers here that there is no special setting in the castle, and when a monk enters, he will meet with another person who enters it, and it stands to reason that this meeting is nothing, everyone is a monk who wants to make a fortune in the ruins, but the two people who met did appear in the ring. ”
"Ring?" Li Xuan asked very puzzled when he heard the words of the shopkeeper.
"That's right, it's the ring, all the guests who come here have been to that castle, almost all say that the ring, it is said that as long as people enter there, they will be automatically teleported to the ring, and then only one of the two can pass the trial, after passing, the victor will stay where he is to receive the memory fragment, and the loser will be teleported away, and he will not be able to test again for five days. ”
"Then what if the failed person is killed?" Li Xuan thought of the trial he had participated in before, some people were indeed killed, so there was a high probability that this trial would also occur.
"That's right, the trials in the castle do not prohibit life and death duels, and even special people come here to duel, because in this case, they don't worry that they will set a trap for each other, of course, such cases are still a minority, but if two people who don't know each other duel, the probability of death is greater, because there is also a rule in this castle, that is, if the loser dies, then the relics will be owned by the winner, and the memory fragments that the loser got before will also be obtained by the winner. ”
"That's the case, but what if the strength of the two is different? This kind of situation will not be allowed in the castle trial, and it seems that it is not an easy thing to find two people with the same cultivation to duel in the ring. After listening to the explanation of the shopkeeper, Li Xuan asked another question.
"In this case, the guest officer doesn't have to worry, anyone who enters the castle and is successfully teleported to the ring, the cultivation will be suppressed to the side with lower strength, which will erase this situation to a large extent, of course, the cultivation of the people participating in the trial will not be too different, otherwise even if the strength is suppressed, the understanding of the realm is far from being obtained by others at will. ”
Li Xuan nodded thoughtfully, what the shopkeeper said was right, cultivation can be suppressed, but the understanding of exercises, occult techniques, etc. will not disappear, these things only belong to the cultivator himself, even if the cultivator is taken away, these things need to be slowly run in by the loser.
Li Xuan and the others got what they wanted, so they didn't ask, and the shopkeeper also left with interest, "Li Xuan, what are you going to do next?" Let's act today, it seems that the rules in the castle are very beneficial to us." ”
"That's right, although we are not afraid of people in the same realm, there is still an age gap between us and others, but the castle trials near here can bridge these gaps for us. ”
"In that case, when are we going to act?" Chu Tianhao said on the side, Chu Tianhao has always been an anxious person, after listening to what the shopkeeper said, and after listening to Li Xuan's analysis, he couldn't help it for a long time.
"Don't worry, let's act at noon, we'll stay in this hotel in the morning and see what those who have successfully passed the trial have to say, besides, you still have to be careful when you have a trial in the afternoon, after all, it is not forbidden to fight each other in the trial. ”
In this way, Li Xuan and his entourage determined their next move.
Just when Li Xuan and the others decided to start entering the trial in the afternoon, on the other side of Fang City, Bai Tong was sitting in one of the guest rooms in an inn that looked more luxurious than other inns, and in front of him, a man in black knelt down on one knee in front of him.
"Elder, when do we act, a few of us are good at searching for news, and we are not very suitable for fighting, and our exercises are all the exercises of the Blood Demon Sect, if we enter, I am afraid that someone will find out, I am afraid that it will disrupt the sect leader's plan. ”
"Hmph, I know that you ants are unreliable, don't worry, I'll take action myself in the afternoon. This time there will be no accidents, and you will continue to keep an eye on you. ”
"In that case, I would like to congratulate you on your triumphant return in advance. The man in black clenched his hands into fists, and then vanished.
And all of this, whether it was Li Xuan or Bai Tong, they were all discovered by a pair of invisible eyes, and even the content of their conversation could be heard clearly.
"It's really going to save me trouble, the two of them actually want to enter the trial at the same time, so I don't have to bother arranging for them. With a slight chuckle, it appeared silently, but this voice was not heard by anyone.
Li Xuan and the others continued to stay in the hotel, and Bai Tong had no intention of leaving the inn, neither of them knew what would happen this afternoon.
"Huh, that castle trial is really dangerous, I participated in a trial elsewhere before, it was actually a test of our endurance, the people who went in didn't have any mysteries, they were completely like mortals, and then they were going to climb the mountain, the mountain didn't look high, but if you really want to start climbing, I guess it's not easy for me to use the mystical power." Not to mention coming here this time, good guy, you will fight me desperately when you look at me, fortunately, uncle, I have deep skills, or I will be in trouble. ”
