Chapter 63: Another Wave!
Wen Rui walked for a while, and suddenly remembered that the other eight people were still in the ring, and looked around, there was no one, so he called the eight people out.
The eight of them looked at their surroundings and asked in unison, "Wen Rui, where is this?"
"We've come to another universe that's similar to the original, but not quite the same, and we're now on Earth-like planets in this universe. ”
Wen Rui said the same as a tongue twister. But it seems that all eight of them understood, because they all had the same expression: open mouths.
"Wen Rui, how is Ke Xin? I obviously saw that rat ....... Ye Ze asked, and in the end, he couldn't go on.
Wen Rui understood, "I guess that rat should be a rat demon from this planet, it entered the earth for some reason, first possessed Chairman Situ Xu, and then saw that the situation was wrong, and then possessed Kexin." ”
After hearing this, the mouths of the eight people opened wider. How does this sound so weird.
Wen Rui saw that they were scared silly, and remembered how he looked when Bingbing summoned the fairy, and the two were almost the same. If he hadn't seen all kinds of unbelievable things in advance, Wen Rui would not have behaved so calmly.
"I'm going to stay here until I find Kexin, what about you?" Wen Rui asked with some seriousness.
"If you come, you will be safe. I'll stay with you. Zhuge Zhuoran took the lead and said.
"Yes, the ten of us originally came out together, and of course we have to go back together. Ma Li followed.
"Do you need to ask? Of course we'll look for it with you. If I don't have Kexin around, what should I do when my skin is itchy?" Ye Ze said in a strange voice.
The others all laughed when they heard this, yes, Kexin, a witch of the world, but God specially sent them to rectify them, if she wasn't by her side, how boring and lazy they would be.
Wen Rui also smiled, and then said in a firm tone: "Okay, brothers work together to break gold." Our nine brothers are looking for Kexin together, and if we don't find Kexin, we won't give up!"
Wen Rui suddenly felt a warm heart, he recalled that he was crazy with the other eight brothers, and now that he seems to be back.
"There are a few outfits here, let's change them first, otherwise it will look weird. Wen Rui immediately handed over the clothes given by the old man.
The nine people entered the ring and changed their clothes in a short time. Then the most surprising thing happened to the nine people, the computer could still be connected to the Internet here! Wen Rui could only guess: it should be the miraculous Qiankun Ring that was working.
Wen Rui looked at the news on the Internet on that earth: Chairman Situ's body had recovered, his words and deeds had returned to normal, he disbanded the national guard, integrated all the members of it into the national army, and released all the innocent people arrested during the reign of the fake Situ Xu. In addition, Situ Xu reached an agreement with the Freedom Alliance, and from now on the Freedom Alliance would act as a special supervisory unit of the republic, and if the chairman was found to have any abnormal behavior, the Freedom Alliance could exercise its right to sanction him.
Wen Rui was really happy after seeing these news, and the problem was finally resolved peacefully.
Then Wen Rui sent an email to Tang's father, telling him: After the rat demon left Situ Xu, he possessed Kexin, he tracked the rat demon to another planet that is very similar to the earth, the son of the eight brothers is with him, everyone is safe, so that Tang's father and the eight brothers don't have to worry, in addition, he assured Tang's father that they will definitely find Kexin, and then go back together, and told Tang's father to let Tang's mother and Wenyun enlighten Mengyao more, don't worry too much so as not to hurt the body.
Because it's so hot outside, it's likely that you'll get hot when you're out on the road in such weather. So the nine stayed inside the ring and continued to move forward. It wasn't until it was very close to Heavenly Fire City that the ring came out.
The nine people wore the thin clothes given by the old man and felt much cooler, and walked forward for a while, and saw a city from a distance, with three blood-red characters written above the city gate "Tianhuo City".
At the gates of the city were several young swordsmen with long swords tied to their waists, dressed in white, with only a red pattern like a ball of fire embroidered on their chests. Wen Rui guessed that these people should be the disciples of the Tianhuo Sect.
There are relatively few people outside the city gate, and I don't think anything is abnormal. After entering the city, the sight in front of them made them feel like they had traveled through it.
The bustling crowd came and went, endlessly, all of them were in ancient costumes, and various flags with the words "wine", "gambling", "dang" and "medicine" fluttering in the wind, and the most jaw-dropping thing for them was that there was actually a flag in front of them that read "Starbucks!"
The nine of them walked towards the store in unison, and they smelled the aroma of coffee from afar, could it be that this was really a Starbucks café?
When the nine people entered the store, the layout of the store was no different from that of an ordinary teahouse, but the tea was replaced with coffee, and the nine people couldn't help but be disappointed, but curiosity drove them to try the coffee of this place. Fortunately, the old man gave Wen Rui some money, otherwise they would have to drink the "Overlord Drink".
As soon as the clerk saw nine people coming in, he hurriedly beckoned them to sit down, and then handed over a menu. The menu is actually a few pieces of red paper with the name and price of the coffee written on it. Wen Rui flipped through it roughly, ordered a milk coffee, and the other eight people also ordered it, and then waited quietly.
There aren't a lot of people in the coffee shop. Maybe the people here can't get used to it, Wen Rui thought to himself. I remember that the first time I drank coffee, I also found it difficult to drink, and it took me a few times to get used to it.
After a while, the coffee came up, and after the clerk finished the coffee, he saw that the nine people were all fresh faces, and there were few customers in the store, so he was addicted to chatting.
"Nine aren't locals, are they?"
Wen Rui was blowing the heat of coffee, and when he heard this, he raised his head, and the clerk was a lean young man with a clever eye.
"Yes, we're from out of town. Wen Rui responded, "Tianhuo City is so lively." ”
"Of course, Heavenly Fire City is one of the nine major cities, so it is naturally lively. But that's not counting it now, tomorrow Tianhuo Gate recruits apprentices, so it's lively. ”
"Tianhuo Sect recruits apprentices?" Wen Rui was immediately interested when he heard this.
"You don't know, Tianhuo Gate recruits a group of apprentices every ten years, and this year is the tenth year. The clerk looked excited, obviously looking forward to it.
"It's only a batch every 10 years? Wen Rui was stunned. The other eight people were also stunned when they heard this.
"Ten years is nothing, ten years is just enough for a new apprentice to lay the foundation, from the age of seven to sixteen, the whole nine years are basically tempering the body, as if they are carrying out a stage called "heart building", which is the most basic of cultivating the heavens. It was only in the tenth year that he began to formally cultivate. So it's reasonable to recruit a batch in ten years.
It is precisely because these nine years have been tempering the body, so those teenagers between the ages of seven and eighteen can go, and the recruitment of apprentices is not limited to Tianhuo City, but the entire continent, so every time at this time, even a small shop like ours that no one usually comes to will be full. "The speaker has no intention of listening, and the nine people are happy when they hear it, and the age of the nine of them is exactly between them.
Wen Rui suddenly remembered something, so he asked, "Little brother, may I ask why your store is called 'Starbucks', and does it have any special meaning?" As soon as Wen Rui's voice fell, the other eight people all nodded at him, saying, "Mo Ruo Wenrui, who knows me." ”
The clerk looked at the flag fluttering in the wind and said: "Originally, we called it 'Accord' café here, but then a person came, said it might as well be renamed 'Starbucks', and asked him what the meaning of this was, he couldn't say, only said that it was better, and the boss heard it, and felt that the name was more distinctive, maybe it could attract some customers, so he changed the name." I've been using it ever since. ”
"Do you know the name of that person?" Wen Rui asked curiously.
"I know, it's called Dragon War! Tianhuo City and even the whole country know this name. The clerk said disappreciatively.
"Dragon War!" The nine people were shocked when they heard it, it turned out that Long Zhan had come here after disappearing from the earth.
Wen Rui suppressed the excitement in his heart, and then asked, "Can you tell me about him?"
When the clerk heard this, he looked excited, and immediately opened the conversation: "Long Zhan is so great, he has a lot of credit for being able to have such a thing now." First of all, the words we use now, the language we speak are all taught by him, originally we didn't speak like this here, and the words were originally very cumbersome, and then after he came, he taught us to write very simple words, everyone felt that it was much more convenient, and soon it became popular all over the country, and the words changed, and the language also changed, and it became like this, and it was clear and understandable when it was spoken, and everyone could understand it.
Not only that, but he also invented something called 'paper money', which not only had the same function as gold and silver, but was also much more convenient to use than bulky gold and silver, and was also immediately popular throughout the country.
In addition to this, he also invented the electric light, which was a great invention, and since then all shops have been open at night. He also invented a lot of things, but there are too many to elaborate on.
The most noteworthy thing is that ten years ago, the demons invaded the Nine Great Cities on a large scale, and the people suffered, fleeing in all directions, and their families were ruined. Later, Long Zhan shot the demon king with the bow of the fallen god, and the remaining little demons suddenly collapsed, and were killed by the nine major sects, and the nine major sects were killed until they were close to the center of the wilderness, killing most of the demons, and only a small number escaped, but those who escaped were also worried all day long, and they have not appeared since. ”
"But," the clerk's tone became a little sad, "Long Zhan was also injured in that battle, and a year later, nine years ago, he lost his body and became a lonely ghost, and no one knows where he is. After the clerk finished speaking, he shook his head and sighed.
When Wen Rui and the nine of them heard him say that Long Zhan taught them these words and invented paper money, they all suddenly realized that all this was Uncle Long's masterpiece, and they couldn't help but be secretly happy. Later, when they heard that the demon invaded and Uncle Long shot the demon king, they were all stunned, on the one hand, they were shocked that there were really demons here, so that the rat demon should be here, and on the other hand, they were shocked by Uncle Long's bravery. Listening to them again, they gradually turned from joy to sorrow, "failed to cross the catastrophe", "lost their bodies", "lonely souls and wild ghosts", "no one knows", these four words made their hearts extremely sad in an instant, and it is really sad that the founder of the earth republic that established the great cause of the world ended up like this.
Especially Wen Rui, his mood instantly fell to the lowest point, Uncle Long, who had been with him for 6 years, lost his body and became a lonely ghost? Wave after wave of unevenness, Kexin's matter is still completely clueless, and now Uncle Long has become like this again! Heavy blows are one after another, and Wen Rui almost collapses.
"Wen Rui, don't be too sad, you have to eat one bite at a time, you have to do things one by one, sadness is useless, cheer up, we have one more mission in the future, that is, to find Uncle Long, the nine of us will definitely be able to do it." Zhuge Zhuoran knew that Wen Rui and Uncle Long's relationship was extraordinary, so he comforted him softly by ear.
Wen Rui heard this, yes, sadness will only make oneself depressed and unmotivated, and it is not only unhelpful but harmful to solving the problem, so why should I be sad? I really can't restrain my grief, so I can only bury it silently in my heart, turn pressure into motivation, drum up enthusiasm, and face difficulties.
He immediately straightened his head and asked calmly, "Little brother, do you know how to get to the Tianhuo Gate?"
The clerk raised his head, eliminated the regret on his face, restored his previous hospitable expression, and said, "Just go straight, Tianhuo Gate is on the mountain not far away." ”
Wen Rui smiled at the clerk, "Thank you, little brother." ”
The clerk waved his hand, "What is this, no thanks, no thanks." ”
After the nine people finished their coffee, they walked out of the "Starbucks", and the clerk sent them to the door with a smile on his face, saying, "Welcome to come again next time!" Wen Rui waved at him and said goodbye to him.
