Chapter 52: Zhongzhongtian
"What?!"
Shi Rou was surprised, she didn't feel that it had been long, how could it be ......?
"Then, the death ...... of the five princes before that"
"There's nothing to do with him anymore. But there is one thing that you must be interested in, a few months ago, when the Emperor of the Ye Empire found that he couldn't find you with all his might, he released the Shi family's dependents in a vain attempt to force you to appear. It's a pity that the Shi family's family members have been on the street for three days, and on the way to Liangzhou death row, you have never appeared. ”
Shi Rou's brows jumped.
"But what's interesting is that although you didn't appear, there were two forces robbing the Shi family's dependents at that time, one was Shi Qianjun's old ministry in the past, and the other side was very strange, not people, but all kinds of puppets."
"Puppet?"
"Yes, and it's these puppets that end up grabbing people. They are invulnerable, and as long as they are not completely dispersed, they can continue to move even if they are missing arms and legs. At that time, it was really very lively, a puppet exploded and died, and the scattered gold and stone were used as weapons, which could kill hundreds of people, this kind of destructive power was not seen with one's own eyes, it was really unimaginable. Compared to the flesh and blood of the human body, it is indeed more convenient. ”
"And who is behind this puppet?"
"I don't know."
"Huh?"
At that time, the scene was extremely chaotic, those puppets carrying the Shi family's dependents disappeared very quickly, and even the traces were cut off halfway, just in response to the sentence - wings and fly. And the person behind the scenes has never appeared from beginning to end, which makes me a little curious, the Shi family still has such a magical helper? Xiao Jiuchen's deep eyebrows lit up, looking at Shi Rou.
"This ......" Shi Rou smiled bitterly, "Don't look at me like that, I don't know as much about my father and the Shi family as you do." ”
"Yes. That's kind of interesting. Xiao Jiuchen pondered for a long time and said, "Since you have been out of the customs, come out with me, after all, you still have to face the things you should face." ”
Coming out of the stone house, Shi Rou did not return to the academy directly, but came to a huge black space with Xiao Jiuchen.
As soon as Fang entered, Shi Rou felt a lightness under her feet, her body floated, and all the stars were floating in all directions, dazzling, this feeling was very similar to the feeling in the Demon Domain at the beginning, she couldn't help but look at Xiao Jiuchen twice.
"Own space, small world. Doesn't it seem like you're entering for the first time? Xiao Jiuchen's inquiring gaze swept over.
"Yes. Entered once before. ”
Since Shi Rou didn't say much, Xiao Jiuchen didn't ask much, but said: "Since you don't know about Zhongzhongtian, you must not know much about the nature of this world, but what I want to know is, do you understand why the Emperor of the Ye Empire is trying to deal with you?" ”
"Coveting my Shi family's treasures?" As for whether he covets Qiu Yunding or Xi Yang, that's another matter, maybe he wants both.
"Yes, it's not."
"Oh?"
"Treasures are important, but you are also very important."
"Feng Yinchen's biological daughter, maybe she is an illegitimate child who can't see the light, as soon as this news is thrown out, I'm afraid half of the cultivation world will tremble." Xiao Jiuchen smiled meaningfully.
Feng Yinchen? Shi Rou's heart jumped suddenly!
The name...... Isn't that the one she'd heard about in her meditation? Or is it just the same name?
"Who is Feng Yinchen?" Shi Rou asked.
"Hehe, it's better to ask this question in person when you meet him." Xiao Jiuchen smiled.
Shi Rou was full of doubts, but one or two of these people were in a state of "can't say, can't say", which made her very helpless.
"Okay, let's get down to business, now that you know this is a small world, have you ever wondered why it exists?"
"The world is so big, there are no wonders, I haven't seen it, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist." Stone Judo.
"Good answer. Then let me ask you, do you want to become an immortal? ”
"Huh?"
"Do you want to become an immortal?"
"Uh......" seems a little awkward.
"Do you want to become an immortal?"
Shi Rou was a little annoyed, asking such a strange question, how could she answer? Where are the so-called immortals in this world? It's all a fantasy from some storytellers, okay?
"Huh...... Your wish is so small. Xiao Jiuchen suddenly hooked his lips and sneered, and the whole person suddenly became vivid from gloomy, "Is there only a desire in your eyes to buy a few acres of fertile land, plant a few mouthfuls of good vegetables, and give birth to two worry-free babies?" ”
Shi Rou's breath froze, she couldn't imagine that such words would come from the mouth of the dean, and it seemed that her opinion of him needed to be adjusted......
Taking a deep breath, "In the past, my wish was to rescue the second uncle and them, but now, it is to find them and take them to a safe place, and most importantly, to find my father." ”
"That's right...... Don't you have your own life pursuits? Isn't this kind of life sad? ”
Shi Rou was slightly stunned, yes, her original goal was to become a generation of powerhouses, not to disgrace the family, not to humiliate her relatives, but what else? Her own desires?
"Become an immortal?" Shi Rou came back to his senses, since the dean mentioned that in his capacity, he shouldn't say such nonsense, could it be ......
"Although you only have the cultivation of the ninth layer of foundation, why don't you ...... Or do you want to go to the middle and heavy heaven? Although I seriously doubt that you will be hit to the point of crying cat tears, hehe. Xiao Jiuchen smiled lowly.
"Zhongzhong Tian......" Shi Rou muttered, just sounding like it felt so far away.
"I will keep an eye on the affairs of the Shi family for you, and I will tell you as soon as there is news, oh, give you a sound conch, this is a good thing only available in the Law Enforcement Palace." Xiao Jiuchen took out a magic weapon with the shape of a conch and handed it to Shi Rou.
Shi Rou had never seen such a magic weapon, it was very heavy to start, but in an instant, it was as light as a feather, the surface of the conch was rippling, and the luster was like a wave floating, but when you looked at it, it looked ordinary.
"For Zhongzhongtian, I can also give you a brief introduction, after all, you will know when you go up, which is why I brought you here today - to reveal the truth of this world to you!"
Xiao Jiuchen waved his hand, and a huge crystal ball rose into the air, like a star, but if you look closely, you will find that this star-like ball is divided into three layers, the outermost circle is the largest, and the treasure light on it is shining, and the strange scenery is everywhere, and the circle area in the middle is much smaller, but it is also green and fertile, and there are no poor mountains and bad waters.
The most ground layer is also the surface layer, and there are several connection points with the circle of the middle layer, which seems to support the middle layer, and it seems to be just a place for connection and teleportation. There are convex and concave, full of vitality, and there are also dead and desperate situations, which are most in line with the scenery of the world.
"Where we are now, is the innermost layer." Xiao Jiuchen said.
"You're saying that Zhongzhongtian is the middle layer?" Shi Rou.
"Yes, the upper can connect to the sky, and the lower can bear the earth, it is different from the lower heaven, and the upper world is ignorant of the upper realm, thinking that the scenery of the world is a panorama, and from life to death, I don't understand the meaning of human beings."
"But why isn't there a connection point between the middle layer and the upper layer?"
"That's because it's difficult for people from the Upper Realm Heaven to come down, and people from the Middle Heaven have to work hard to go up, because the Upper Heaven is indeed more beautiful in terms of resources and scenery, and it is said that there are not even two ugly people. As for the middle and lower two, in fact, they don't come and go freely, and several entrances are controlled by the most powerful forces, and if you want to come and go, you have to pay high tolls, and ordinary people can't afford to go. Of course, for the lower heavy heavens with weak aura and lack of resources, the people of the middle heavy heavens are generally not very interested. Xiao Jiuchen smiled playfully.
"Do I have to pay a toll to go up from below?"
"Generally, when you reach the merger period, you will basically know a little bit of information about the middle and heavy heavens, but those who can really be recruited to the middle and heavy heavens are at least the fourth layer of the merge period. This kind of solicitation with someone to guide the way naturally does not need to pay for the road, but other than that...... Generally, 100,000 high-grade yuan stones once. ”
"What?" Shi Rou was taken aback.
"After all, it's just a yuan stone, and the price of a yuan stone and a spirit stone are not the same. Converted into spirit stones, that is, 1,000 high-grade spirit stones. But don't worry, the mountain people have their own tricks. "As long as he can send Shi Rou to the middle and heavy heaven to stir up the storm, what is he doing even if he wastes some strength?
……
Half a year later.
Zhongzhongtian, Ling Tiancheng, Teng Yunge.
The boundless light of the water, the sound of the surging waves, the weak water of the waves seem to float on the clouds, and the clouds fall in the sea and change and play.
Shi Rou's figure rose from the white waves, as if it was supported by something, slowly rose, and finally landed on the ground, standing on a lotus platform.
As soon as he stepped on the lotus platform, the lotus platform floated out on its own, all the way to the wind and rain, sliding like surfing from the sea, fortunately, Shi Rou has cultivated and made progress in the past half a year, and directly entered the Yuan Dan period in the light pillar of the introduction, which is also the Jindan period that Zhongzhong Tianai said, otherwise he really can't control it. Rao is like this, she also formed a large piece of ice on the edge of the lotus platform, so that the lotus platform is more stable, and at the same time, it can also slow down.
Shi Rou really didn't expect that it seemed that the scene of the Triple Heaven in the small world didn't seem to be far away, but it took half a year to really teleport from the Lower Heavy Heaven to the Middle Heavy Heaven. Between the two, there is really a world of difference as the book says.
After a while, the lotus platform finally stopped at a corridor with red pillars and green tiles, and Shi Rou jumped lightly and jumped onto the corridor that stretched out from the sea.
Just when Shi Rou had just stepped into the corridor, the two guards who were holding their swords and napping outside the Heavenly Gate of Teng Yun Pavilion only felt an arc of lightning hit him, and he suddenly felt a thrill and completely sobered up.
"What's the situation?" One of the guards asked.
"It seems that the gate of heaven is trembling, maybe someone has come up from below?" Another guard said.
"Wouldn't it? No one has come up to this place for hundreds of years, so our brothers are still guarding here. ”
"Maybe I'll go over and take a look."
The two guards duel, and their bodies swished towards the corridor where Shi Rou was, and accidentally crossed her and continued to the sea.
"Wait, it's over, there's a figure just now?"
"It seems to be, alas, this 'magic work' is so not easy to use, and it is always overused. If only the Law Enforcement Hall could be improved. ”
"Okay, it's good to use it...... Hey, the girl in front, wait a minute! That's right, it's just you. ”
Shi Rou turned around when she heard the sound, she felt two shadows flashing just now, and startled her, it seemed that she was the caretaker of this place.
"Huh? You are......? When the guards saw Shi Rou's outfit clearly, the originally somewhat arrogant attitude disappeared instantly, and he didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, and even his tone became as gentle as seeing his lover, "Oh, it turned out to be Lord Law Enforcement Division, fortunately, you just came back?" ”
At this time, Shi Rou was dressed in a refreshing purple suit, with a black leaf on her forehead, and the dark red word "law enforcement" on her sleeves and wrists was vigorous and powerful. It is the costume unique to the Law Enforcement Temple.
"Yes." Shi Rou responded lightly and continued to walk forward without any delay, looking like she didn't bother with the guards and the terrain at all.
But the more calm and calm Shi Rou was, the more careful the two guards were, and even spontaneously ran to the front to show the way, nodding and sending each other off, without much doubt about Shi Rou's identity.
Joke! What is the Hall of Law Enforcement? Anyone who tries to make trouble in their name will end up in a miserable situation. Therefore, as long as it is a person in the middle and heavy heaven, almost everyone knows it, and if you offend anyone, you can't offend the people of the law enforcement hall, otherwise the entire middle and heavy heaven will not be mixed.
Yes, although Shi Rouxiu is obviously inferior to the two, the two of them don't dare to be disrespectful at all, but the more they see her young, the more they think that it may be a second-generation official in the Law Enforcement Palace.
An imperceptible smile appeared on Shi Rou's lips, Xiao Jiuchen's method really worked, the name of this Law Enforcement Hall was indeed loud, but he repeatedly emphasized that once he got rid of the guardians of the Heavenly Gate, he must change his clothes in time, otherwise he would get into endless trouble.
After simply sending away the two guards who still wanted to come up and get closer, Shi Rou found a no-man's place to change his outfit and walked directly to the market.
After strolling around all day, Shi Rou finally had a preliminary understanding of Zhongzhongtian, it is said that this is still a remote place, but it has already built a foundation like a dog, and Jin Dan is all over the ground, and only the monks in the Yuan infant stage mentioned in Xiao Jiuchen's introduction are barely a character.
According to Xiao Jiuchen, the realm of the monks of Zhongzhongtian is divided into Qi refining, foundation building, Jindan, Yuanying, Shenhua, and Dacheng. Compared with the Qi refining, Yuandong, Zhuji, Yuandan, and merger of the Heavy Heaven, there are two less subdivision realms. But every realm here is real.
In the evening, according to Xiao Jiuchen's guidance, Shi Rou came to a store called "Seven Star Building" in the city, which sold all kinds of "common" magic weapons, talismans, pills and spirit grass, but Shi Rou swept over, except for the pills and spirit grass, almost no one knew, all kinds of strange shapes, different functions of the magic weapons are countless, like cabbage hanging in all corners of the store, so that Shi Rou shouted violent destruction.
There are not many customers in the store, and the housekeeper and the servant add up to two people, one is napping and the other is reading, and they seem to be quite unconcerned about this business.
Or did the housekeeper wake up when he suddenly slipped down from his palm and woke up halfway through his nap with his head propped up on the counter: "This young lady, what do you order, I'll take it for you and take a closer look?" ”
"Yes." Shi Rou still nodded lightly.
Then he paused for a while, and just as the housekeeper was about to turn around and continue to nap, he said, "The Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger." ”
