Chapter 117: Ascending to the Heavens
Wu Liang and his eldest brother, Wu Long, stood aside and whispered, their faces gloomy. [Full text reading]
Wei Hong came to Wei Wuji's side and reminded in a low voice: "Wu Liang is now the strength of the Quenching Body, and he will soon be promoted to an alchemist by the family. Usually, among his pharmacist apprentices, he is arrogant and does not say anything. This time I was suppressed by you, probably to find a way to retaliate. ”
"I'll be careful about this, Brother Hong. Wei Wuji said with a smile.
"In the family's territory, he didn't dare to be overly arrogant, just worried that he would plot against you in a foreign place. However, as long as you don't leave the medicine garden alone in the future, if you need to go out for something, Wang Ruosheng and I will accompany you, and he won't dare to make a move. Wei Hong said.
"Thank you Brother Hong for your concern. Wei Wuji smiled and thanked him.
The concern of friends made Wei Wuji's heart warm, which was not something in Weijiazhuang. Gu Weng, Guo Hai, and Wei Hong in front of him are all members of their own family, and they are all good to him, and they don't look at him differently. The family in Quarry Town is where he can rely on.
Wei Xiaokai walked over, stood in front of him, and hugged his fists at Wei Wuji, "Big brother is above, please accept the little brother's worship." ”
"This brother, where did you start with this? Such a big gift, Wuji really dare not take it. Wei Wuji hurriedly put his hands on each other and stopped Wei Xiaokai's big gift.
"I just said that if you can beat Wu Liang and them, you will be my eldest brother Wei Xiaokai! A man promises a thousand gold, his words must be done, and his deeds must be fruitful!" Wei Xiaokai said.
"Hehe, it's just a joke, brother, don't take the joke seriously. Wei Wuji said with a smile, "We are close in age, so it's better to talk about him as equals and call him by his name, which is more appropriate." ”
Wei Wuji's easy-going attitude skyrocketed, and the friendship between the two sides skyrocketed and became friends.
The two sides settled the bet, and Wei Xiaokai was happy here, talking and laughing and walking down the mountain. Wu Liang and the others, but with gloomy faces, walked far behind.
Everyone talked and laughed, and before they knew it, they walked out of the mountains.
There was a flat avenue ahead, and there was no more danger, and the people dispersed, no longer walking together.
Wei Wuji, Wei Hong, Wang Ruosheng, Wei Xiaokai, and the other three good pharmacist apprentices, a group of seven people walked together, talking and laughing and walking towards Quarry Town.
After a few turns, Wei Wuji saw the outline of the quarry town in the distance.
The town is built on the mountain, and from a distance, it looks like a giant beast entrenched on one side, revealing the momentum of iron-blooded majesty. The winding walls are like an iron chain, firmly locking the behemoth and suppressing it for eternity.
"Such a majestic quarry town, I estimate the height of this city wall to be thirty zhang, right?" Wei Wuji couldn't help but praise loudly.
"More than thirty zhang, there are nine city gates in Quarry Town, and the city walls at the city gates are more than forty zhang. Wei Xiaokai replied beside him, "The main reason for building such a high wall is to prevent demonic beasts. ”
"Demonic beasts will appear in Quarry Town?" Wei Wuji was surprised and hurriedly asked.
"I'm talking about the tide of beasts, boundless demonic beasts pouring out of the mountains and invading the habitat of humans. Wei Xiaokai explained.
According to the classics, the demonic beasts in the depths of the mountains will gather together in millions of numbers, rush out of the mountains, and invade the human habitation, which is the beast tide. The beast tide is coming, and the damage is great, the small city can only avoid it, and the big city can defend according to the danger. The last time Quarry Town experienced a beast tide was two hundred years ago, and it was only because of the strong city walls that it blocked the invasion of demonic beasts.
The first time Wei Wuji heard about this kind of thing, the picture of the boundless army of demonic beasts besieging the city appeared in his mind, and his face was also moved.
The topic of everyone turned to Warcraft again.
No one has ever seen a beast tide, but that doesn't stop everyone from talking about it. Everyone who narrated it spoke vividly, as if they had experienced it themselves.
Everyone talked all the way, and before they knew it, they came to the city gate.
Near the city gate, there is a piece of flat land, among which there is a bluestone wall, about 30 zhang long, one zhang high, looks natural, magnificent.
Wei Wuji saw the name engraved on it from a distance, so he asked the others what it was.
Wei Xiaokai told him that the names on it were all genius cultivators from Quarry Town.
The princes of Linjiang Prefecture hold martial arts competitions every three years.
When the time comes, the elite of the family will gather in the palace city, compete in the ring, and the selected winners will be promoted to the imperial city and participate in the imperial city competition. The name on the stone wall is the winner who won the Linjiang Mansion City competition and was promoted to the Imperial City.
"I see, I'll take a look. Wei Wuji became interested, turned around and walked towards the stone wall.
The stone wall has a history of thousands of years, from the beginning of the quarrying town to stand here, has experienced countless sun, moon and wind and rain, has a kind of eternal momentum, contains an indescribable charm.
Wei Wuji's divine consciousness and mind suddenly captured this kind of connotation, and his heart was shocked. However, when he looked at the stone wall again, it became ordinary again, and there was nothing surprising about it.
It felt like a bird that suddenly flew by, and disappeared without a trace. It is as if by the pond, occasionally I see a fish, which suddenly appears, and when I look closely, it disappears suddenly.
The stone wall is engraved with three big characters of the Ascending List, and below are the strong people who have walked out of the quarry town for thousands of years.
At the top of the list, there are more than 30 names engraved, each of which is the size of a fist.
Behind the thirty names, there is a blank space five zhang long, and beyond the five zhang, there are other names. However, these names are in small print, and the font size is almost four times smaller than the previous name.
"The thirty or so names at the front are the ones who have entered the sect in honor. The people behind stopped at the imperial city and did not enter the sect. Wei Hong explained to Wei Wuji.
The people who entered the sect? Wei Wuji looked at the more than 20 names, and his heart shook a lot, from the beginning of Quarry Town to the present, after thousands of years, only more than 20 people have entered the sect?
"Wei Hong, do you know when this last name was engraved?" Wei Wuji asked.
"This ...... This can only be known by going back and checking the records of the classics, hundreds of years ago. Wei Hong scratched his head and said.
"Don't mention the name here, it's the last name in the small print at the back, which was also engraved a hundred years ago. In our quarry town, in the past hundred years, no one has been able to win in the palace city and be promoted to the imperial city. Wei Xiaokai interjected.
Wang Ruosheng walked over and said with a smile: "Why are you talking about this? Only the martial arts genius of the family will think about these things. We pharmacist apprentices, we don't think about this, it's not interesting at all, it's better to think about the promotion of alchemist. ”
Everyone nodded yes, alchemist and martial arts cultivation were originally two paths. When everyone chose an alchemist, they also gave up martial arts cultivation.
Everyone was discussing, and suddenly a voice came from a distance, "Who are you waiting for?
