Chapter 14 Taoist Priests
"This is the artifact. It's really a world of its own! Long Jie lay lazily on the carpet-like green grass, half-closed eyes, facing the cool morning sunlight through the leaves, accompanied by a few unknown bird cries, and his hands on his head.
"It's just a set." A hoarse voice came, shattering the silence.
Long Jie pursed his lips, opened his eyes, sat up, raised his head and teased to the side: "I think there should have been no tobacco in your era, but how did you get this mouthful of smoky teeth and smoke?" ”
Not far from the meadow, a man in a Taoist robe was meditating cross-legged..... Sitting on the branch of a towering tree that requires at least a dozen people to hug it, with the ups and downs of the fluttering leaves, it looks quite a bit of a meal and a dew.
Dao robe shook his head, took his work, turned over and jumped down, fluttering like a fallen leaf, feeling as casual as turning over from the head of the bed and falling to the ground.
"How? Eat it out. Dao robe came to Long Jie with his hands behind his back and said condescendingly.
Before, it was high on the branches, giving people a kind of fairy wind and bones, but now it has obviously fallen into the mortal world, although there is a crystal warm hosta inserted in the bun on the top of the head, and there are three long strands of long beard that are almost exactly the same as those seen in the star online online drama, and the workmanship of the spotless robe is also very meticulous...... But once combined with the appearance and figure of the sharp-beaked monkey's gills, there will always be a word that unconsciously comes out: the monkey is crowned......
"You've been here so many times, do you mean that you're here to bask in the sun?!" Dao Pao was displeased: "If that's the case, I might as well come back when the deadline comes!" ”
"Hehe, uncle, you look old, why are you still so impatient?" Long Jie played a carp trick, stood up and patted his buttocks, and then said casually, "I'm ready." ”
"Ready?" Dao Pao was stunned, and then laughed: "You know that there is a limit to the number of times, and I have told you the fate of failure." ”
After speaking, the robe waved his hand, time flies, from early morning to sunset, the stars are moving, and the sky is already full of stars in less than a cup of tea.
At this time, Long Jie and Dao Robe were already standing on a circular altar. The altar is divided into three levels, each with nine steps on each side; There are white marble railings around the periphery, and the altar surface, railing, and railings are all bluestone; There is a "cloud dragon" coiled on the railing, but compared with the well-known and well-known totem "dragon" of Baiyou people, it is an extra pair of wings, one side of the wings are pure black, and the other side is pure white.
The circular altar sits in the center of a square of stones, and the starry sky above is actually a large inverted hemispherical surface.
"This is the 'round sky', right?" Long Jie retracted his gaze to look into the distance, touched east and west on the altar, and jokingly said, "What kind of name is this?" Why does it look so similar to our Baiyou people's Temple of Heaven? ”
"As I said, it's just the set. What you think the altar looks like, it appears. In my time, I called it 'Circle Mound', and it was used for sacrifice. "And here, you can simply call it 'Kukulkan', which is the original name of the artifact. If you pass each level of the altar, you can summon the dragon 'Kukulkan' once, usually choosing to learn a skill that is unique to you...... Well? What's that expression on your face? ”
"It's okay, I just suddenly wanted to ask, does this summoning dragon need to gather seven dragon balls?" Long Jie asked an inexplicable question with a straight face, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"It's not a dragon ball, it's a dragon pillar." Dao Robe pointed to the white jade railing that the cloud dragon was coiled around, and continued: "There are twenty-seven dragon pillars on the first floor, eighteen on the middle layer, and nine on the top layer. The best record at the moment is the seventh dragon pillar on the top floor. Now, do you still think it's funny? ”
"For now? Isn't this 'Kukulkan' one of the earliest artifacts? You said last time that the gods were born when the gods opened the world on their home planet, right? How many 'chosen people' like us should there be, isn't there even one ......" Long Jie was sighing, and when he saw the Dao robe waving his hand, he stopped and looked at it with an inquiring look.
"I don't know exactly how much. Look, they're all here anyway. The robe tilted towards the starry sky obliquely above, Nunu's mouth, a lonely face, said: "If you are interested, you can count them, every star was once a chosen people, and most of them did not pass the first level of assessment. ”
"Okay, let's not talk about that." Long Jie shook his head and didn't answer, but raised his steps into the most central area on the top floor of the altar, nodded to the robe, and said, "Let's get started!" ”
"Remember, you only have three chances, and you can do it within the deadline anyway." The robe waved again, and the center of the altar suddenly lit up.
A large group of "fireflies" appeared around Longjie, flying happily.
"Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, plus black and white, this is the 'color' of Jiuyuan......" Long Jie stretched out his hands forward, "scooped" a handful of colorful "fireflies" into the air, and then quietly enjoyed the brilliant fireworks blooming in the night sky.
Each "firefly" is actually a sesame-sized spot of light, but its own color and movement trajectory are not static. The original red dots of light, fluttering, may turn cyan in a blink of an eye, then turn transparent white again, and then may run away again, but suddenly disappear halfway through!
"They look like a big school of fry." Long Jie grinned and said to the Dao robe, "Every one minute and six seconds, the nine yuan will be transformed. ”
"The duration of the nine-yuan transformation is one 'tan-moment'." Dao Robe pursed his lips and teased: "You have to get used to the time unit of using nuclear power, if you can pass the initial test of 'Kukulkan', there will be a chance for you to look at nine yuan in the future, and see that you want to vomit." ”
"I want to throw up when I see you." Long Jie gave the robe a roll of the sky and said, "Come on, let me take a look at the demo version of the exam content." ”
The colorful nine-yuan hula scattered outward, with Long Jie as the center, forming a formation of planetary rings with a diameter of about five meters. In front of Longjie, an hourglass-like object appeared, and the length of time it took for the "sand grains" to empty back and forth was exactly one unit of tan.
At this time, one yellow and one purple two grains of nine yuan, one slow and one fast, you chased me and floated to Long Jie's side. Compared with a single nine-yuan, the movement of these two nine-yuan that have established an interactive connection seems to be traceable, as if someone is playing tricks with a yo-yo, the yellow head suddenly pauses in the air, and the purple head is thrown out, and then slowly turns back.
Immediately afterwards, a green nine-yuan and a black nine-yuan quickly approached the "yo-yo" from different directions, and the four nine-yuan "pulled" each other before they were "fixed", which looked a bit like the four vertices of an irregular pyramid.
The "pyramid" was slowly churning in the air, obviously in a relatively stable state, and the four grains of nine yuan were not transformed into other colors, but only maintained their status quo.
Before and after the appearance of this "pyramid", the hourglass was only about half of the volume.
In the following time, Long Jie's side successively appeared "straight line", "plane", or "three-dimensional" composed of more nine elements, which from a scattered single nine elements to a fixed state of "combination", each time the nine elements involved in the type, way, order, etc., are completely different, can be described as ever-changing.
"The transformation of the nine elements itself is random, and there are mutual attraction and repulsion between the same kind and different types of nine elements. Steady-state nine-yuan occurs only in certain combination modes. And when these metabases in a stable state are concentrated together and combined again, there are various constraints and interactions between each other. This combination mode is actually like building blocks, one level at a time, and finally becomes the Nine Yuan Demon Pattern. What's more, if it takes more than one unit of tans to complete any of the Stable Combos, the consequences are ....... The main thing is to look at your character. Dao Robe stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, and teased: "Then, now, please teach these 'fish fry' to line up obediently." Don't nag me, I'm afraid you'll forget it all at once. You only have three chances. ”
"Three times? I'll be able to do it twice at most! What do you think? Don't believe it, do you? Shall we make a bet? If you lose, tell me your name. "Long Jie's naked agitation.
"There are thirteen yuan bases here, and one hundred and seventeen nine yuan are involved in it, and the way, trajectory, and timing of each nine yuan are different. So, have fun! The Taoist robe was not moved at all, and he did not urge Long Jie, so he stood aside with his hands behind his back, looking like a master of the world who had nothing to do with it.
"Shhhh The three of you should thank me, you don't have to always play 'Fight * Landlord' anymore, you can occasionally play double hundred upgrades. Long Jie muttered, standing in the center of the altar.
The colorful nine-yuan hula scattered outward, with Long Jie as the center, forming a formation of planetary rings with a diameter of about five meters. In front of Longjie, an hourglass-like object appeared, and the length of time it took for the "sand grains" to empty back and forth was exactly one unit of tan.
At this time, one yellow and one purple two grains of nine yuan, one slow and one fast, you chased me and floated to Long Jie's side. Compared with a single nine-element, the movement law of the two nine-elements that have established an interactive connection seems to be traceable, as if someone is playing tricks with a yo-yo.......
Except for Long Jie's closed eyes, all the scenes are no different from the demo version just now! One pass!
A soft white pillar of light the thickness of a finger fell from the sky, poured from the top of his head, and appeared on Long Jie's face as a translucent face, and then slowly seeped inward, and soon disappeared completely.
"I'm a little suspicious now that you're a descendant of Kukulkan." Dao Robe looked at Long Jie with a complicated expression, and said, "Only through the divine endowment can you be immune to the entire Nine Yuan system, and you are still ......"
"Oh, I'll see." Long Jie squeezed his eyebrows and touched the top of his head and behind him, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay, there is no tail behind him, and there are no dragon horns on his head." ”
"That's not right....... It's one thing to have a good talent, but you don't look like a beginner at all, but like you've practiced countless times. Dao Pao thought for a moment and came to the conclusion: "Unless you have been exposed to relevant training before, and the first few times you have been here have actually not been sleeping in the sun. ”
Long Jie bowed his head and said, "Well, I've been exposed to similar knowledge before. Every time I come, I try to control the number and distance of nine yuan or something. As you said, the process of each assessment is 'open', and the way in which each Chosen One passes the assessment may not be the same, so each successful passage of the Nine Elements' manipulation, innovation, etc., can be used as a reference for other Chosen People in the Artifact Domain. ”
Seeing that the Dao robe was not very interested, Long Jie sneered again: "By the way, what is the 'full immunity' mentioned just now?" ”
"Full immunity means that your affinity for the Nine Yuan is at the highest level." The robe waved his hand, and the scene changed from the altar to the previous grass, and the two sat on the ground under the shade of the big tree.
"Whether it's a Protoss or a nuclear powerhouse, the standard for judging its level is the number of pure energy bodies like Nine Yuan that can be controlled." The robe sat cross-legged, muttering to himself: "How can you say such a thing as nine yuan....... You can think of them as nine warriors with different temperaments and different classes. ”
"Controlling the nine yuan, in fact, is equivalent to letting the soldiers line up in formation, and the combination of shield soldiers, pikemen, archers, hoplites, scouts, cavalry, stone throwers, and so on is a formation. And you are the commander of the first army, or even the commander of the three armies. In this way, the affinity for Jiuyuan is equivalent to the degree of obedience of the soldier to your military orders. If the command of the army can reach the level of commanding the fingers, it will naturally be invincible and invincible. ”
"It is already rare for human nuclear forces to have one or two seven-line immunity and eight-line immunity. Whole-line immunity? This kind of talent is going to be summoned by the gods to the heavenly court to become an immortal......"
"If the soldiers are obedient, you can save effort, save nuclear power......."
"What?! And this kind of good thing?? Long Jie finally heard useful information, and secretly laughed there: "Talent or anything has nothing to do with me, anyway, it's not something I can decide or change." But what is the term 'labor-saving'? By the way, you haven't told me your name yet. ”
Han ..... Marquis...... Zi ......" Dao robe said a few words vaguely, I don't know what I remembered, and I went to "fugue" in a trance. I saw that his body had a fogging effect, and a breeze blew, and he disappeared like this.
"Hey, why did you disappear like this again? I wonder how long it will take this time? Long Jie blinked his eyes and muttered, "Han monkey? Can I give two likes to this apt way? ”
