Chapter 850: Starry Night
After passing through the trading hall on the third floor of the south hall, Zhang Hao and the others were no longer in the mood to hang out. After Ta Chu ordered everyone to go back first, he went straight to the Snow Star Hall to meet Hongjun to deal with the follow-up matters. After all, even if the Snow Star Hall gave him enough face as the founder of the Taer Clan, today's incident was not only related to the majesty of the West Snow Star District, but also involved a Dharma protector-level powerhouse like Tenglong, no matter what, he had to make a trip in person, so as not to sue the wicked first and cause a lot of unnecessary dissatisfaction and trouble.
It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that not long after Zhang Hao and the others left the trading hall, a frenzied storm of public opinion began to spread at an unbelievable speed with the trading hall on the third floor of the south hall as the core, with such a large scale and strong sensationality that it was like an out-of-control plague, and in just three or four hours, it became a topic of discussion among all the mouths of the Snow Star Palace.
Public opinion and scandals, whether good or evil, can attract attention in a short period of time, attract people to comment, and then push the protagonist of the story to the forefront, and then whether it is famous or notorious, at least it can win the public's attention and attention. However, these are just a kind of right for spectators to seek excitement and prove their existence. Because as far as the matter itself is concerned, it may not have even the slightest relationship with these people, but they can fully intervene in it, and use heartfelt artificiality or sincerity to regret, tears, ridicule, and cold eyes, in order to express their true feelings as spectators, and the resulting snowball effect will become bigger and bigger, until the scandal itself is extinguished. Perhaps this phenomenon can be vividly compared to the fact that water can carry a boat or capsize a boat, but it really gives an accurate evaluation. But it's just four words. If it weren't for the sick psychology of human beings. will not let this world derive so many tricks to win the upper position with dirty, obscene and even shameless acts of betraying morality, and their existence is precisely in response to that sentence, there is no demand, there is no clown.
Undoubtedly, the Snow Star Hall coincided with the grand event of the selection of newcomers, and the number of people invited to this competition was large because of the great improvement in the quality of the selection. Reaching the pinnacle of the selection of the West Snow Star District for thousands of years, in such a grand occasion, it is inevitable to tiptoe to watch the lively people. Therefore, when the rumors of the matter quickly spread to the point of being out of control, when it was approaching night, Zhang Hao just accompanied Jin Fengqing to take a walk around the nearby night market, and suddenly found that he had become the protagonist of all the mouths along the way, and even because of this matter, it was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, causing too much sensational impact in just a few hours. As a result, the entire Snow Star Hall set up more than 30 competition betting stalls for the selection event, and hurriedly launched a betting service for the two duel groups. The flow of people attracted by this is noisy all night long.
The starry sky is still quiet and magnificent. Unlike the mortal realm, in the divine realm, there is no obvious distinction between day and night, but even if the physical functions and energy of the gods are far more vigorous than those of mortals, it does not mean that they do not have time to relieve themselves after exhaustion. Therefore, in each vast area where the star temple is established, a huge illuminating object like the sun will be cast, radiating the entire star area and setting up a cycle of rotation, artificially dividing the time of day and night, but this cycle is longer than that of the mortal realm.
When night fell, some of the noise in the distance was still clearly audible, after Ta Chu came back from outside, he went straight to the Dan Pharmacy, for two hours, the room has been filled with all kinds of slight energy fluctuations, it seems that today's incident is a lot of pressure for him. Therefore, he also tried his best to seize the time to refine the Blood Feather Starry Sky Liquid into a pill, so as to gain as much cultivation time as possible for Zhang Hao and the others.
At this moment, sitting on the top of the towering small hall in the small courtyard, looking at the planets in the sky that are getting smaller and smaller as the distance increases, until the starry sky is like a river of bright stars, Zhang Hao's eyes fluctuate slightly, thoughtfully.
"Huh"
While pondering, a breeze blew, and in a blink of an eye, he caught a glimpse of Jin Fengqing's slender and feminine figure and fell to the side, Zhang Hao came back to his senses and said with a smile: "How is the tower senior?"
"The Blood Feather Pill has just been refined, and nearly half of the Blood Feather Starry Sky Liquid is left, because most of the items in today's auction are aimed at powerhouses above the Heavenly God Realm, and the auxiliary materials purchased are not enough, so a total of five pieces have been refined after a full count!"
Leaning on Zhang Hao and sitting down, Jin Fengqing shook his head, took out two dark purple round bottles and handed them over, and said, "The one from Fat Brother and Brother Hammer has been sent, these are the two specially handed over to you by the tower seniors." ”
"Well, have you determined the specific time of the battle?" Putting away the two vials handed by Jin Fengqing, Zhang Hao nodded secretly and asked.
"Tomorrow afternoon! It's Tenglong's decision, and it seems that today's incident in the trading hall has made him really hate us to the core, and he can't wait to take revenge immediately." Listening to the meaning of Ta Chu's predecessors, this incident seemed to make Hongjun very dissatisfied, but because of the face and the fact that the matter involved Tenglong, he did not object too much, and only vetoed the mention of the life and death contract signed by the two sides before the war. Jin Fengqing said in a condensed voice.
"A Star God Peak Realm powerhouse actually secretly pinched the current situation in the Water Star Domain, grasped the current shortage of high-level powerhouses in the West Snow Star Region, and did evil outside, treating the rules of the Snow Star Hall as nothing, and letting Hongjun be restrained in every way and eat soft nails inside. It seems that no matter which direction the future shape develops, if Tenglong still does not restrain his behavior, I am afraid that sooner or later he will have to bring disaster upon himself. ”
Zhang Hao's brows furrowed slightly, and he sighed lightly. A master who has stepped into the realm of the main god with one foot, and as the controller of a mainstream star region, but because of the pressure brought by the outside, he has to accommodate his subordinates in everything, I am afraid that anyone has a sullen feeling in his heart. In the long run, not only will it be a provocation to its own authority, but I am afraid that it will also damage the reputation of the Snow Star Hall again and again because of various acquiesced transgressions, just like the incident in today's trading hall.
Nodding with approval on his face, Jin Fengqing replied: "After today's incident, Hongjun deliberately sent the tower seniors to him, and it seems that he apologized specifically for this matter. Looking at the appearance, he had already discovered that the strength of the tower seniors had now risen to the Star God Dacheng realm, and the meaning of the words was self-evident. If it is true that in the near future, the predecessors of the tower can use the divine sense cultivation to return to the peak strength, and in the future, once the time is ripe, deal with the dragon. He certainly won't be relentless. After all, the latter is close to more than 100 years. It has close contacts with both the Northern Fog Star Region and the Domination Star Region. Otherwise, he would not have behaved more and more arrogantly during this period and never restrained. ”
"The situation of the tower seniors is not as simple as you think. Speaking of Ta Chu's soul gate injury, Zhang Hao's eyes subconsciously appeared a little solemn, and said: "In the first half of the month, because of the dispersion of divine consciousness, the trend of the soul gate gap of the tower predecessors overdrawing the vitality and origin soul power has indeed been greatly curbed. So that the strength is returned in a short period of time. But now that the dispersion of his spiritual consciousness has increased to twelve, his soul gate gap injuries are still in a state of balance between the two sides and making up for it. ”
"What does Brother Zhang Hao mean?" Regarding Ta Chu's injury, Jin Fengqing had never asked much, and when she heard the vague meaning in Zhang Hao's words, she said a little incomprehensibly.
"Not bad. After all, this soul gate gap has existed for thousands of years, and over the years, the tower seniors have tried their best to make up for the passing energy, but in the end, the situation has gradually deteriorated at a slow pace. And that gap can be vividly compared to a water pipe, for 10,000 years, because of the siltation of various mottled energy. This clogs up a lot of garbage at the mouth of the pipe, although it does have the effect of slowing down the flow of garbage. But there is no doubt that the gap will be widened at a certain time. During this time, when the tower seniors used their spiritual sense to disperse and pull energy to make up for the past, and cleaned up most of the clogged garbage, it was discovered that the gap in the soul gate had increased by at least one-third compared to the original!" Zhang Hao sighed.
"One-third?" Hearing this, Jin Fengqing couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Although she didn't know much about the consequences of the trauma of the Soul Gate, the only thing she could be sure of was that the Soul Gate was the foundation of the Illusionist and the Heaven and Earth, and once she was injured, it might cause the collapse of the bridge between Heaven and Earth, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
"So what now, is there a way to cure it?"
"The injury is still under control, so there is hope. Zhang Hao muttered: "If it was at the beginning of the injury, the tower seniors had learned the method of dispersing spiritual consciousness, and then relied on the assistance of the Void Illusion Heavy Earth Spirit Seed, it was very likely that the injury would have been completely healed. Nowadays, the deterioration of the injury has led to the expansion of the gap in the soul gate, and if you want to completely repair the gap, not only does it require more dispersion of spiritual consciousness, but it also has more stringent requirements for the purity of the repair energy. Otherwise, the energy of the current empty and heavy soil will gradually become all kinds of precipitated garbage like other mottled energy that was made up by traction at the beginning, and the gap will be blocked again, and eventually cause a vicious circle. ”
"I see. Hearing this explanation, Jin Fengqing suddenly realized. In layman's terms, this is like repairing a broken tin can, and in order to restore it to its original state, it is necessary to melt the steel and fill the gaps, rather than filling them with dirt or wood chips, otherwise it is just useless work.
"If you want to say that, the Coiling Star Two-Tailed Fox Spirit Seed that we learned about in the Star Swirl Hall Starry Sky Mine, we are going to do our best to surrender?"
"Well, that's what I thought. However, just in case, when the selection of newcomers to the Snow Star Hall is over, we must wait until the situation is completely stabilized, and a few of us gradually fade out of the sight of the public before we can do it. ”
As soon as the words fell, looking at the huge illuminated object in the sky that had completely faded from the dazzling light of daylight and transformed into a bright moon emitting soft light, Zhang Hao exhaled lightly, stood up, and said, "Okay, the fatigue of the cultivation of the four hours just now has almost eased, let's hurry up and go back to practice." Tomorrow's battle is bound to be dangerous, even if there is no life and death contract, judging from Tenglong's personality, the other party will not be soft in the fight. ”
"Huh"
The words fell, and before Zhang Hao could jump down, a softness suddenly came from the palm of his hand, which made his figure stunned, and then Jin Fengqing Wan'er's voice came into his ears: "Brother, thank you for the day's work." Not long after we set foot in the divine realm, we were involuntarily involved in all kinds of right and wrong, and our fate was still not able to grasp independently, and everything was like walking on thin ice, for fear of accidentally leading to death. I really didn't expect that the woman who openly made a move on the trading floor showed that she was a good person, but in order not to let me be wronged, you would choose to teach her a lesson. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Hao's eyes flashed a little brightly. After a while, he gently shook off Jin Fengqing's small hand holding his palm, and his mouth opened slightly: "In the past, I always thought that if I strictly restrain my behavior and deal with things without being aggressive, I would have fewer disputes. Later, I realized that sometimes it is not whether you choose to back down or not, but whether others will endlessly save a footage. So, at this time, you have to go further so that you don't put yourself in a situation where you are being bullied. ”
The words fell, even if he didn't look back, he seemed to feel that Jin Fengqing's face was slightly gloomy because he didn't get the answer he wanted, Zhang Hao flashed, and on the way down the courtyard, a faint voice sounded: "When they were by my side before, I didn't understand this truth, so they suffered a lot of grievances. And now I understand, so you have to be like a real man, stand up when you are hurt, and don't let anyone bully you!"
Looking at the emaciated figure that fell steadily into the courtyard, he walked towards the Dan pharmacy where Ta Chu was without looking back, Jin Fengqing slightly took off the silk yarn below, and the corners of his mouth swirled up with a stunning arc that almost made Haoyue lose color, and said angrily: "It's just a big stick and hammer, the thing has been done, is it really that difficult to say a heart-warming word to your face?"
