Chapter 97, Xuan Ting
readx;? ♂,
Mrs. Tang asked Zhang Lu to enter her cabin in the middle of the night to talk, what was the purpose? Zhang Lu pondered, it must have something to do with the treasure found today. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info??
Because of his selfless realm, the world can barely walk sideways, but in front of Tang Ying, he is still a small role; although he is now a member of the Tang family, Tang Ying's daughter who has already married, and the water that has been spilled is considered a family member, and it is impossible to ask a guest of her mother's family about anything. If you talk about Tang Li's language, since leaving the previous island, everything that should be said has been said, and Tang Ying has never looked for Zhang Lu since then to inquire about the details - so it is only possible that this time I am looking for him for the newly found treasure during the day today.
Could it be that Tang Ying really has a private collection, so she deliberately wants to take care of Zhang Lu and not leak it? The only two of them can see the treasure with their own eyes, Tang Ying counted, but Zhang Lu just glanced at it in a hurry. Although with Zhang Lu's current realm, his senses are quite clear and his mind is very sharp, even if he just glances at it, he can roughly calculate the number of exercises hidden in Tang Yang Ji, but after all, it can only be an approximate number. He estimated that the number of exercises should be around three hundred, if Tang Ying opened his mouth and reported two hundred, it would definitely be boring, now that he reported three hundred and zero, at most dozens of volumes were privately hidden, so how could Zhang Lu tell the difference?
Is it because Mrs. Tang has misjudged her ability, or is it just for the sake of insurance? If this is really the case, should I help her hide it? Zhang Lu finally made up his mind: I can help you make up nonsense, but the premise is that you have to give me some benefits!
However, he didn't expect that after entering Tang Ying's cabin, he saw a thin book on the table in front of the old lady. Tang Ying stretched out her hand and pointed: "It's given to you." ”
Zhang Lu was really overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly and carefully stretched out his hands, picked up the book, and looked at it by the candlelight. I saw that the title on the book cover was-
Principles of Ancient Magic
Tang Ying said: "Thirty percent of the exercises hidden by Tang Yang Ji are still handed down, which is not a treasure, and seventy percent are all long-lost secrets, including blade equipment, breathing vitality, and refining techniques...... Only this book, related to ancient magic, I'm afraid no one in the world cares. Since you said that you had an adventure, and you seem to be interested in magic, it is better to reward you - you have found the treasure of Tang Yang Ji, and you have the greatest merit, and you must not be rewarded. ”
Zhang Lu caressed this ancient book—the paper had begun to become brittle, but as long as you were careful when flipping through it, it should not be easily broken—and thanked him repeatedly. This is exactly what he needs, how to cultivate and use magic in the Tianyuan World, even if the book only says that it is so thin, it may only be dozens of pages, less than 10,000 words, and it will definitely not go deeper, it can play a great role in promoting his cultivation.
Zhang Lu is the home of practicing magic - the Tao of the pocket earth world is considered to be a combination of art and martial arts, but it is more focused on magic - the illusion technique he is good at is purely a magic technique, but he can't use it in this Tianyuan world, and he almost beat him back to the prototype with a stick, and the depression at that time is really indescribable. It's just that he didn't think much about it at first, and since he fell into the martial arts world, it would be good to practice martial arts from the beginning, but after that, he used talismans and crossed the other world where magic was respected, but he gradually learned that magic is not strictly forbidden in this world, but magic is not in the world.
To put it bluntly, the Tianyuan world can also use illusions, and not only confuse ordinary people, ask for a reduction or exemption of ship fares, practice to profoundness, still call for wind and rain, scatter fights into soldiers, move mountains and seas, kill people and goods...... It's just that there is a lack of relevant theories to base on, and there is no teacher to ask for advice, purely self-exploration, God knows when he will be able to recover the means of his master of magic.
For example, Zhang Lu is an elite of science and engineering, not only rich in theoretical knowledge, but also very strong in hands-on ability, he can make steel and make cannons, and he can make his own clocks and watches, the problem is that he has crossed into this different world, the basic physical laws, and natural elements are completely different from the earth, how do you tell him to show his talents? Steelmaking? There is no iron here, what do you use to make steel? There are a bunch of pure gold and mythril, but there has never been a foundry industry—it should be said, that the foundry industry has been completely lost—what does he use to make cannons?
As a result, someone gave him a copy of the ancient secret "Pure Gold Casting Beginner Level" today, even if it is the first level, it is very precious for him to regain confidence and return to his old business!
This was really an unexpected joy, and Zhang Lu couldn't help but feel infinite gratitude to Tang Ying.
Tang Ying said expressionlessly: "Tangyang Ji's next hidden treasure is likely to be a divine weapon, or a heavenly treasure, and I will also choose one that you can use." I hope you can succeed in your studies and serve the Tang Mansion well, in addition...... If you get the news of Liyu, you have to report it to me immediately!
Oh, it turns out that this is the key, Zhang Lu almost blurted out: The situation has changed, I believe I will be able to see Miss Tang soon, and then ...... But in the end, he swallowed his words, and only replied vaguely: "How dare you disobey the orders of your predecessors?" As for whether I tell you where Tang Liyu is hiding now, I have to wait until I meet with her, ask for her opinion, and then talk about it.
The fleet braved the waves and soon searched two more islands, finally finding the last treasure spot of the Tangyang season. This is the same as the third treasure place, because of the lack of guidance from the talisman, there is a phantom array, and it is easy to find the stone gate. Tang Ying repeated his old tricks, purely using his own skills to eliminate the phantom array, and then opened the door without taking the key, and directly slapped the stone door into powder......
It's just that this time she didn't even leave Zhang Lu behind, first drove everyone to the outside of the corridor, and then found the treasure alone. Unlike the previous time, Mrs. Tang did not put all the treasures into the Void Bracelet, but after opening the treasure room, she beckoned everyone to come to check and carry it - it is estimated that the space in the Void Bracelet is limited after all, and there are already two treasures, and there is no third one.
As for whether she had secretly hidden a few treasures first, no one knew - and no one dared to ask.
Sure enough, as Tang Ying expected, the main content of the treasure hidden here is weapons and materials. There were two wooden shelves with three large chests, only a small number of minerals and metal ingots, most of which were biological materials—the skins and bones of strange beasts, the rare medicinal materials, and so on. Zhang Lu didn't recognize most of them, but at a glance out of the corner of his eye, a complete chinchilla skin had already appeared, which seemed to be a whole circle larger than the chinchilla he had met back then, and the leather quality might be better.
My Neighbor Totoro is a rare beast whose skin, especially the hard leather on its back, can be made into armor and is truly invulnerable, but it is not yet worth preserving unless it ...... This skin is big enough. Thousands of carats of melee diamonds add up, and their value is inevitably not the same as that of the "Star of Africa", which is only more than 500 carats.
There are not many divine weapons stored, only a dozen. It is estimated that because Tang Yang Ji was originally a pirate and a martial artist, he was not a collector after all, and if he didn't use a good weapon, it would be no different from scrap iron, so he wouldn't deliberately pick up a large number of weapons and hide them in the cave.
On the evening of the same day, sure enough, Tang Ying summoned Zhang Lu into his cabin again and gave him an ancient sword - "I see that you often have a sword hanging from your waist, and you should practice swordsmanship." Zhang Lu took it and took a look, this sword shark skin is a sheath, and the bamboo clip has its handle, which is inconspicuous to look at, and slowly draws the sword to reveal the blade, and immediately a murderous aura rushes to his face. The body of this sword is jet black all over, and with a flick of the fingers, its sound is heavy and turbid, and it is difficult to judge what kind of material it is-because Zhang Lu is not very familiar with the metal materials of the Tianyuan world--the sharp edge is very sharp, although it has passed for hundreds of thousands of years, there is still no rust spot, and the cold light is dazzling.
The body of the sword is close to the sword, and two words are engraved in rough handwriting: Xuan Ting.
It's a good sword, but it's a pity...... Zhang Luxin said that I already have a sword, compared with the two, Xuan Ting is not necessarily stronger than the "spring breeze in electric light and shadow" in my waist, and the Xuan Ting sword has a narrow body, a thin spine, and a very light weight. I just wanted to return it to Tang Ying, saying that your old man will give it another treasure, and think about it again, it's not appropriate.
When carrying the treasure during the day, Zhang Lu had also seen more than a dozen divine weapons, and there was no Xuanting Sword among them, which showed that Tang Ying had already hidden it in the Void Bracelet, waiting to give it to Zhang Lu at night. The other treasures have been registered and boarded, and the ownership has since returned to the imperial court - even if it is said that it is a good reward for Tang Hou's treasures, it will have to be in the name of the imperial court again - if you let Tang Ying find one of them in exchange for yourself, the procedures will inevitably be troublesome, and the old lady may not be willing.
How old am I, and I want Lafayette to give orders to those court officials for me? Maybe she was so angry that she even took back this Xuanting Sword and refused to give it.
Besides, "cutting the spring breeze in the electric light and shadow" is theoretically borrowed, and Zhang Lu only has the temporary right to use, but does not have ownership. Walking through another world, Zhang Lu will definitely not be soft when he touches the corpse, the problem is that this sword is not dead, and its owner, Monk Maitreya, is likely to be alive. If he can't return to the Void Brahma World, maybe Zhang Lu will play this sword calmly for a lifetime, but if he has the fate to return, he will return to the original owner. Zhang Lu has no discipline, but he is not reduced to the point of stealing people's things - he can be a traitor, not a villain, a villain, and a ruffian......
Countless thoughts instantly turned through his mind, and he finally put away the Xuanting Sword and thanked Tang Ying repeatedly. Tang Ying said that you don't have to thank me, this is what you deserve, but remember-"Once you hear where Liyu is, you must report it to me immediately." You should believe that I will definitely not harm her. ”
After getting all the hidden treasures of Tangyang Ji, the fleet turned around and returned to the big 6 in a straight line. This road can be said to be uneventful, neither pirates rushed up to brush the tiger's whiskers, even if there were some storms on the sea, so many masters were in charge, they were all easily passed - after entering the realm of selflessness, not only can they seduce the qi of heaven and earth, but also can affect the genus of wind and clouds and thunder and lightning to a certain extent, and Tang Ying is close to the peak of no man's land, even if the violent natural disasters are difficult to shake her.
Zhang Lu believes that if he is different from Tang Ying, there is no need to stay on a desert island, there was a Bodhidharma patriarch who crossed the river with a reed, and the person Donaldor Lafayette will be able to sail with a reed!
A few days after arriving at Tianyuan Da 6, people from various coastal counties came to invite Tang Ying and invited her to her own county town to watch, but Tang Ying declined. Tang Ying personally escorted the treasure to the capital, parted with Zhang Lu on the way, and asked him to return to Tang County by himself - as for Tang Shixiang and Wei Ping, they continued to follow Tang Ying into Beijing, and their mission was not only to find the treasure, but also to send the tenth given by the imperial court back to the Tang Mansion safely.
Zhang Lu carried two swords on his belt, carried a letter written by Tang Shixiang to Tang Hou, and asked him to help find a mount, and then swaggered straight to Tang County. If there is something to do, it is long, and if there is nothing to say, it is short, and finally entered the county town smoothly, and handed over the post in front of the mansion, and the time was not big, and a young man ran out quickly, and bowed his hand from afar: "Brother Zhang!"
For the people of the Tang Mansion, except for Tang Hou and Tang Liyu, as well as a few people such as Tang Shizhang and Tang Shixiang, Zhang Lu actually didn't recognize a few, but he had a little impression of this guy, and after a little groaning, he already remembered the name: "Tang, Tang Tingyu?"
Tang Tingyu is a son of the Tang family, the grandson of the Tang Hou clan, and Tang Liyu is a clan brother. I think that Zhang Lu followed Li Shijie to the capital, passing through Tang County, Tang Hou made the children of the two factions compete in martial arts, and his opponent at that time was this Tang Tingyu.
That time, Zhang Lu narrowly won a move, but he broke a front tooth and spoke leaky...... Fortunately, not long after, he encountered the "Six Dragons" in the Yushan Valley, unexpectedly crossed the isolated island, and found the treasure of Tangyang Ji due to the blessing of misfortune, and then was taken to the Xuanqi Realm, and the front teeth were restored to their original state. He thought to himself at the time, this is not bad, even if he is seriously ill in the Tianyuan World, or even has a mutilated limb, as long as he does not die, he can be cured when he reaches the Xuanqi Realm!
This is also one of the important reasons why he is unwilling to give up the crossing of the Xuanqi Realm.
After seeing Tang Tingyu, Zhang Lu handed over the book written by Tang Shixiang to the other party. Tang Hou was finally able to confirm the death of Tang Shizhang and others, and also knew that Tang Ying had found all the treasures and returned to Da 6 safely, and he was sad and resentful in his heart - originally those three treasures were all Lao Tzu, but now ninety percent have returned to the imperial court, and I am left with a little scraps......
In fact, the biggest responsibility is Tang Hou himself, he first underestimated the strength of the secret pretender, which led to the death of Tang Shixiang and others, and then was forced by Tang Ying to ask about the hidden treasure...... But there are very few people who can reflect on themselves, and the higher the position, the easier it is to be angry with others, Tang Hou is in such an unhappy mood, and Benya is reluctant to face Zhang Lu. So he received the letter and did not ask Zhang Lu to come over to interrogate the details, but directly took care of Tang Tingyu, you arrange for Zhang Lu to stay, and then call him to meet when I am free.
Zhang Lu's quarters had been set up long ago, and his personal belongings, though not much, had been brought from Dongli to store his monthly offerings. But the Tang Mansion only reluctantly kept its promise to Zhang Lu, and didn't really mean to treat him as its own - we will raise you for three or five years in vain, and then you will get out of the way when you see the opportunity. Zhang Lu only stayed for a few days before he felt depressed, feeling like a prisoner, and was about to take a leave of absence, so I simply went out to travel, but I didn't know who to ask for leave......
I was sitting at home that day, feeling bored, and I thought it would be better to stay on an isolated island—at least there were mountains and seas, and the scenery was stronger than here—and I was walking cross-legged at night, and suddenly I was in a trance, and I knew that I had crossed the Mystery Realm again.
The interval is less than a year, and the back door of the Sanwu monk is quite effective.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he heard two exclamations at the same time:
"Liyu, are you okay?!"
"Brother Zhang, are you okay?!"
Hey, Zhang Luxin said that this rhythm is not right......
The two exclamations he heard, the male voice was clearly Li Yan - if it was Feng Heran, it would not be strange to say this, but Feng Heran would not omit the surname and call Tang Liyu by her name - the female voice was naturally Tang Li.
Tang Liyu knew that she lived overseas, and when she disappeared, she had not yet returned, so it was reasonable to meet and ask "how are you", but it was just ...... You're too anxious, right, as if you thought I was hanging up a long time ago...... As for Li Yan, he also asked Tang Liyu in surprise, didn't you two elope together? Why did the tone of surprise intersect, as if Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai had reunited on the grave......
Zhang Lu instinctively felt that this thing was so strange, and the two of them might not have eloped! )
