Chapter 100: The Bead Division
Gu Zichun slept until the afternoon, and Old Man Jiang rarely had the patience to appease fellow martial artists from all walks of life, and the Pearl Dividing Conference was postponed until the afternoon.
It wasn't until he came slowly with Tang Wanwan and the Four Monsters that a long-lost smile appeared on everyone's faces.
Who would dare to offend the descendants of the alchemist? Moreover, if the orb powder they received was fortunate enough to be refined by him, it would definitely be more effective than a tiger, and everyone had a small calculation in their hearts.
The conference was held in the open air, just after the spring, plus there was sunshine today, the temperature was quite suitable, as soon as Tang Wanwan approached, he couldn't wait to look at the wooden platform.
There were Jiang Zhuang and his son and daughter-in-law sitting on it, and those standing next to him should also be his disciples, including Lao Jiu and Jiang Xueyang of the inn.
In front of them, there was a wooden table with a beautiful red wooden box on it.
After Gu Zichun was arranged to sit down in a position in the front row of the audience, Jiang Zhuang nodded to him before announcing the official start of the pearl distribution conference.
Tang Wanwan and the four monsters were arranged to sit a little away from Gu Zichun at this moment, but fortunately, her vision here was quite broad, and she couldn't help but stare nervously at the wooden box.
Master Jiang Zhuang talked a lot of nonsense, and finally when everyone was patient, he got up and opened the red wooden box himself.
A faint light immediately overflowed, and everyone couldn't help but stand up, their eyes showing a greedy light......
The people behind began to make noise, undoubtedly blocked by the people in front, and they didn't have a chance to see the style of the jewel, the wooden platform was not high, and all the people began to squeeze forward, only Gu Zichun was still sitting upright, unfazed.
When Tang Wanwan saw the bead clearly, his eyes also showed disdain!
No wonder not long after Gu Zichun fell asleep, the owner of Jiang Zhuang sent people to apologize and give gifts one after another. It turned out that he was waiting here, waiting to help him fool people with the fake beads.
"Everyone, please be calm and don't be impatient!" the owner of Jiang Zhuang pressed his hand with a righteous and awe-inspiring look.
When the people stopped the noise, he continued: "The orb is here, and the old man will polish it into powder now, wrap it in talisman paper and distribute it to each sect." You have also seen that the orb is so big, so the amount you can share is very small, I hope you will understand. ”
"Master Jiang Zhuang said, we have all seen your righteousness, here, Zhu Mou thanked you first!" A short man handed over, and the rest of the people began to agree.
"Thank you for your understanding!" Master Jiang also arched his hand and said, "Then the old man will start sending someone to distribute it now, please wait in place." ”
A voice of thanks sounded again, and Tang Wanwan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
I saw that the owner of the village kneaded the beads into countless powders with internal force, and then a disciple on the stage took the rune paper handed over by the next person and began to pick the powder with a small stick and put it into the rune paper and wrap it.
Everyone in the audience is looking forward to it, and in Tang Wanwan's view, these so-called righteous people are just some people who sell their fame and reputation, and they are selfish. It's not as good as the four monsters on the Black Waterfront.
Thinking that she couldn't help but glance at the four brothers, except for the scholars, the rest of them were also ugly, and she couldn't help but apologize for her thoughts.
Since it wasn't Qingyun, Tang Wanwan's heart was secretly relieved!
After everyone received a copy, some people began to come to Gu Zichun's side with a flattering face, telling their request.
Gu Zichun just nodded slightly, and said, "Actually, you guys are doing this too much." ”
"Oh, what do you mean by this?" said the old man with a white beard who had been a year old.
"Alas, if you had thought of me earlier and believed me, wouldn't I have directly asked the old owner Jiang to give me this bead, and when I poured, wouldn't it be better for me to refine it in a nourishing pill and give each of you one?" Gu Zichun deliberately regretted, and everyone was also remorseful.
The Jiang Zhuang master on the stage twitched his face and became a little annoyed.
It turned out that he had already approached Gu Zichun privately and talked about such a proposal, but people were obviously still worried about last night's incident and didn't pay attention to him at all. He had no other choice, so he distributed the fake bead powder according to the original plan.
At this time, this kid actually said this in front of hundreds of fellow people, wouldn't others think that he was selfish, so that he could keep his share and go to him to refine it, while the rest of the people were hopeless?
Gu Zichun saw the sudden change in his face, and couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, and said: "The owner of the village refused, I think I was afraid that I would be tired, right?" Of course, so many people want me to refine, and I can't do it at all without ten days and half a month, and I have to thank the owner of the village for forgiveness!"
He deliberately raised his voice so that everyone could hear it, taking advantage of the chaos, Tang Wanwan had already disappeared without a trace, just a little maid of hers, naturally no one cared.
Everyone gradually evolved from gratitude at the beginning to resentment, and at this time they all began to question Jiang Huaishu, Gu Zichun was protected by the four monsters and watched the owner of Jiang Zhuang eat deflated, not to mention how happy he was.
It's just that when he inadvertently glanced at Liu Ziyan, who had already stood up to help maintain the chaos, his eyes still sank involuntarily, and an indescribable affection instantly wandered in his heart, until his breathing was restricted.
At this time, Tang Wanwan had already quietly slipped into the Cloud Courtyard.
There is still no one to guard here, not even the people who patrol from time to time, and they probably go to the terrace in front of the main hall, which is a golden opportunity!
Tang Wan strode forward, and after a while, she pushed open the gate of the Cloud Courtyard, but as soon as she stepped on, the spiritual power in her whole body disappeared again, but fortunately, she was prepared and took the pill that Gu Zichun gave her that it was to control that mysterious power for a short time.
Qingyun was still lying on the cold ground, and a layer of white mist gradually rose around her body. Tang Wanwan hurriedly ran over to help her up, warming her cold, thin layer of ice body.
Fortunately, her spiritual power came back, and she hurriedly gave her some spiritual energy, but as soon as that spiritual energy entered her body, it disappeared in an instant, but Tang Wanwan was so anxious!
That's right, the flame beads given by Ruobai!
She suddenly remembered that Ruobai had refined a bead with fire on the inside for her when she saw that she was afraid of the cold.
She hurriedly asked the greedy stone, and the guy was also extremely weak and spit out the beads from his void and fell into Tang Wanwan's hands.
Recently, it has been acting as a warehouse for Tang to walk in a crooked way, and the woman will stuff some messy things in from time to time, and it has gone from being annoyed at the beginning to being like water now, and it can't fight her.
Tang Wanwan hurriedly opened Qingyun's mouth, and then stuffed the beads that were transparent on the surface and could see the fire inside.
I saw that the cold around her body gradually faded, and when the temperature was restored, Tang Wanwan took out the beads, in order to resist the cold, he directly put the beads on his body, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Qingyun waking up and turning around.
"Miss. ”
She let out a low call, then straightened up with difficulty and sat down on her own, revealing a wry smile at Tang Wanwan.
"Do you dare to run around next time on your own?" Tang Wanwan said pretending to be angry, but his eyes were full of distress.
Qingyun didn't dare. ”
After saying that, Qingyun lowered her head, and after some relaxation, she suddenly remembered something, and said to Tang Wanwan: "Miss, hurry up and leave, there are Yun Hanzhu who suppress spiritual objects and spiritual cultivators, once we get close, we will lose all our spiritual power and will not be able to protect ourselves!"
"I see, I've already been on its path, and even the greedy stone has no power to fight back, by the way, you can also take it, this is a pill developed by my brother, which can temporarily restrain its resistance. ”
After speaking, she handed another pill to Qingyun, Qingyun took it orally, and sure enough, she felt that her spiritual power had recovered a little, and as soon as she was lucky, the injuries on her body quickly recovered at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and it didn't take long for her to move freely.
"Hurry up and turn back into the beads and get rid of this black iron chain!" Tang Wanwan said hurriedly, his eyes full of eagerness.
I saw Qingyun smile slightly, his hands instantly exerted force, and he heard a loud bang on the chain as thick as a thumb, and it was divided into several sections in an instant, Qingyun raised his hand that was no longer restricted, and showed a smug smile to Tang Wanwan.
Then the iron chains on her feet were also easily broken by her, and Tang Wanwan remembered that if she didn't have the control of Yun Hanzhu, what could she do with this mortal thing?
She instantly woke up from her doubts, stretched out her right hand, and said, "Go!"
Qingyun immediately understood, and in a single spin, he turned into a soul bead and flew back into Tang Wanwan's hand.
Tang Wanwan smiled and said, "Let's go, go and join my brother." ”
Hearing that Gu Zichun was also here, the Soul Bead couldn't help but emit a faint purple light, and then was repacked into the purse by Tang Wanwan and took her out of the Cloud Courtyard.
It's still chaos outside, but it's much better than before. I saw Jiang Huaishu's body suddenly shake, and a look of uneasiness hung on his face, only to see him summon his son and whisper to him, Jiang Yunhai left in a hurry.
The scholar's eyes were quick, and he happened to see this scene, he hurriedly said a few words to Gu Zichun, and left with the third child.
Jiang Huaishu is also a scheming man, and after promising everyone to persuade Gu Zichun, everyone quieted down.
I saw Gu Zichun suddenly stand up and walk straight to the high platform, the boss and the fourth behind him hurriedly followed, and when they got to the high platform, Jiang Huaishu gave him a very knowledgeable hand and let him in the middle, and he retreated to the side, waiting for Gu Zichun to speak.
The audience was also silent, and Gu Zichun said slowly: "I took advantage of the leisure time to carefully study the bead powder in this rune paper, and found that this is just an ordinary egg-sized night pearl bead powder. ”
He raised the paper bag in his hand and looked at Jiang Huaishu, who still had a peaceful face, but his face was so black that oil was overflowing at this time.
"It turns out that the son is here to stir up the situation!" Jiang Huaishu pretended to be calm and said: "The old man kindly invited all fellow martial arts practitioners to come to the Zhuzhu Conference, thinking that they would strengthen the martial arts together in the future, how could I do such an unbearable thing?"
"...... this?"
The audience, who was originally a little fluctuating, became hesitant again after hearing Jiang Huaishu's defense.
"Heh! It's really ridiculous!" Gu Zichun said disdainfully: "Even if all spiritual things are ground into powder, they are still shining, why don't you open it and see if this bead of powder has light?"
The words made everyone suddenly, and they couldn't wait to open the paper bag in their hands, and sure enough, even if the white bead powder was irradiated by the sun, it did not emit any light.
"Master Jiang, can you give me an explanation?"
The audience questioned one after another, and after a while, it returned to its previous noise, or even worse.
Jiang Huaishu finally couldn't pretend anymore, so he only heard him roar angrily and said, "Gu family boy, you are looking for death!"
