Chapter Ninety-Six: Undercurrents Are Surging Around!
In the afternoon, we headed south to the Heavenly Fire Gate.
"Tang Rui, I heard that you solved the flower thief, it's really not easy. Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"Brother Xiangnan, why did you come here?" Tang Rui turned around when he heard this.
"First, I came to take Siqi home, and secondly, I heard that you have returned to Tianhuomen, so I want to invite you to sit at home tomorrow, and we will learn from each other. Xiang Nan's eyes were full of confidence and eagerness.
Tang Rui saw Xiang Nan's confident gaze, and his heart suddenly felt a little stunned, "Last time I saw him so bold, I agreed to him on a whim, I don't know what his strength is, I have just reached the white fire, this is a bit hanging." ”
Tang Rui was uneasy in his heart, but he still said confidently on his face: "Okay, tomorrow is Sunday, I have nothing to do in the afternoon, so I will go to Xiangjia to sit down." ”
"Okay, that's refreshing!" Xiang Nan laughed wildly.
That kind of laughter seemed to say, "You will definitely lose badly!" Tang Rui felt a chill in his heart, and secretly thought: This time I will get into big trouble.
After dinner, Tang Rui went to the piano room to learn the piano as usual.
"Master, I haven't practiced for a few days, and I'm a little rusty. Tang Rui said a little impatiently while stroking the qin.
"Don't worry, playing the piano can't be fast. Take a break. The door master said with a smile, and then pointed to the moon cakes on the table, "You can taste the moon cakes sent by other sects." ”
Tang Rui picked one up and handed it to the door owner first, and the door owner waved his hand, "I've eaten it, you can eat it." ”
Tang Rui no longer shirked, looking at the crisp yellow skin of the moon cake, as well as the fine patterns, he got close and smelled it, the aroma was fragrant, he suddenly felt that his appetite increased greatly, and he just wanted to take a bite, when suddenly a loud roar came:
"Stop! Mooncakes are poisonous!"
Tang Rui was stunned by this voice, and looked at the moon cake in a daze.
"Xia Lie!" the door master glanced left and right, "Where are you?"
"Don't look for it, I'm in this kid's ring. "The voice is full of confidence.
Yao Zun leaned out of the Qiankun Ring and stood in front of the door master.
The door master's face was full of shock, "How could you ......?"
"Hehe, this kid has already worshiped me as a teacher, and the apprentice respects the master, which is justified. Yaozun said with a smile.
"What?" the door master became more and more surprised, "I've been looking for you, an old boy, and I want Tang Rui to follow you to learn alchemy, but I didn't expect Tang Rui to find you before me, this is really ......"
"Fate! I'm so close to this kid. Yaozun said with a smile.
The owner of the door was also overjoyed when he heard this.
"This kid is very talented in refining medicine, and it would be a pity to worship others as teachers. Yao Zun laughed again.
The master of the door was slightly shocked when he heard Yaozun praise Tang Rui like this, he knew that Yaozun was arrogant and did not praise people easily, he could say that, then Tang Rui's talent was definitely extremely high.
"Master, I'm sorry I didn't tell you about it. Tang Rui said with a guilty face.
The door owner waved his hand, "You have been in the Xia family, so naturally you are not available." It is a great joy to worship medicine as a teacher, and I am really happy for you for the teacher. ”
Tang Rui was relieved.
"You just said that moon cakes are poisonous, how can it be? This is the Mid-Autumn Festival gift sent by the Thunder Sect two days ago, how can it be poisonous?" the sect master suddenly remembered, and said with a puzzled expression.
Yaozun picked up the moon cake, "This poison is called 'Bone Eater', and it has a strong fragrance, which is very difficult to detect. The poisoned person will feel like the bite of thousands of ants, and it will die after going through pain, which is an extremely vicious poison. ”
"Master, you said you had eaten it, aren't you already poisoned?" Tang Rui said hurriedly.
The door owner was a little embarrassed, "I'll coax you, this moon cake was just opened today, and I didn't eat it." ”
Tang Rui breathed a sigh of relief, it was really lucky.
"Master, the Thunder Sect and the Tianhuo Sect have always been good friends, why did they poison the moon cakes?" Tang Rui was puzzled.
"This ...... , for the division is not clear. The doorman frowned.
"Lao Zhang, you should still remember, fourteen years ago, when the temple was fighting martial arts, Yang Wei shot too hard, causing the death of Wu Yi, a disciple of the Thunder Sect, could it be that the Thunder Sect still holds a grudge against the Tianhuo Gate?"
"At that time, the two factions had reached an agreement, and the grievances were over. It is impossible for the Thunder Sect Thunder Celestial Beings to go back on their word. The doorkeeper shook his head.
"That'...... , Could it be that someone deliberately blamed the Thunder Sect?" Yao Zun's face changed.
"It seems that it should be the 'three evils'. The door master whispered.
"Quite possibly. Yaozun touched his beard.
Tang Rui knew through checking the books that the Soul Killing Palace, the Moon Witch Sect, and the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect were the three major evil sects here, collectively known as the "Three Evils". The Three Evils have always coveted the Central Continent, but because of the Nine Great Sects, they have never dared to act rashly. The two sides have had several encounters, all of which were evenly matched, and finally formed a long-term standoff.
The reason why the Nine Great Sects held the Temple Fighting was also to deter the three major forces, so that they would not dare to act rashly.
"Lao Zhang, I also have something to discuss with you when I show up today. Yaozun's expression was serious, "The prohibition at the bottom of the Demon Sealing Tower was broken, and all the little demons inside escaped and wandered to various places, and it is estimated that they are doing evil at this time." ”
"Is the news true?" said the door master, whose face had just softened, changed again.
"Absolutely. Yaozun looked serious.
The door master's face was even more ugly, "The ban on the Demon Sealing Tower is very powerful, very breakable, it seems that there is a powerful person helping the demon." ”
"That's true, so I want to go to the Demon Sealing Tower to check, hoping to find some clues. Yao Zun said.
"That's very good, you have a lot of thought, and it's better to go and investigate. The door master's expression softened slightly.
"I have a request," Yao Zun glanced at Tang Rui, "I am in a soul state now, and it is inconvenient to move, so I need to stay in the Qiankun Ring, this kid is the master of the Qiankun Ring, so I need him to follow." ”
The door master thought for a while, Tang Rui had already made up for a while, far beyond the assessment standards for freshmen, so naturally there was no need to participate in the assessment, and in addition, traveling abroad could also make him grow faster. "Okay, I agreed. Tang Rui, would you like to?"
Tang Rui nodded, how could he not be willing? When he thought of the vast and interesting world outside, he was excited. What could be happier than a bloody adventure?
"Tang Rui, this time you are out, on the one hand, you are following Yaozun to investigate the destruction of the Demon Sealing Tower, and on the other hand, you have to find a suitable weapon. The master of the door admonished.
"Master, what is appropriate?" Tang Rui was puzzled.
"In every great weapon there is a spirit, and the spirit will have a sense of contact with the likely owner. A weapon that can sense you is a suitable weapon, and it will be handy to use. The door master paused, "Induction is only the first condition, and the second condition is that you must be strong enough." The more powerful the weapon, the stronger the spirit is, even if you can sense it, if you are not strong enough, you can't subdue the spirit, and you can't control the weapon. The spirit has been waiting for the person who can sense and is strong enough, and that is its destined master. The door master paused, and then said: "However, there are very few divine weapons in ordinary weapon shops, and it takes a lot of chance to find a good blade, but fortunately, in a year, the Zijin Pavilion will hold a 'Divine Weapon Conference', and the 'Divine Weapon Pavilion' is wide open, and the heroes of the world are invited to go, and there are a large number of divine weapons in the 'Divine Weapon Pavilion', and you may be able to find a suitable blade at that time." Divine weapons are not something that can be taken away casually, only people with superior strength are qualified to be the masters of divine weapons, so you can't slack off along the way, and you must stick to your cultivation. Tang Rui nodded.
"Lao Zhang, I have to deal with some things next, and I'll leave when I'm done. Yao Zun said.
"Good. "The doorman said.
Yaozun smiled at the door master, and said domineeringly: "Let's go!" and then entered the Qiankun Ring. The sound shook the house a few times.
"I haven't seen each other for so many years, and it's still the same. The doorkeeper smiled faintly.
"Tang Rui, it's late, you can go back too. Tomorrow is Sunday, and you can sleep in. ”
Tang Rui looked out the window, it was pitch black. "Oh", he replied as he put away the piano, "Master, disciple retires." ”
The door master smiled and nodded.
Tang Rui returned to the room, closed the door carefully, and then entered the Qiankun Ring.
"Master, you should have heard it, there will be a battle between me and Xiang Nan tomorrow afternoon, you have to quickly teach me some ways to break the spell. Tang Rui said anxiously.
"Didn't I say that? If you don't have the ability, don't duel with others easily, don't blame me for being killed. Yaozun rolled his eyes and said.
"Master, you were also present last time, if I don't agree in that case, won't I be defeated before I fight?" Tang Rui looked unconvinced.
"You kid is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, very much in the style of my youth. For the sake of this, I'll teach you. Yaozun smiled.
"A spell is really about activating nature's vitality to cause it to produce wonderful changes, and then applying it to the opponent. In order to avoid falling under the spell, practitioners usually learn a spell called the 'Shry Mantra', which prevents others from casting spells on you. You're going to learn this spell today. Yaozun paused, Tang Rui nodded with a smile, and thought: "Haha, if I learn this spell, it will really be 'inviolable by a hundred spells', and I will have a few more chances of winning against Xiang Nan tomorrow." ”
Yao Zun continued, "This is the mantra for activating the 'Shroud Curse'. Then he muttered, although Tang Rui didn't know what it meant, but his memory was not covered, he remembered it completely after just one time, and said it well.
Seeing that Tang Rui remembered it so well after only one time, Yao Zun's eyes widened in shock, and he thought, "I think it took me a full ten times to memorize it back then, and it took me a long time to become proficient." It's unbelievable that this kid is ripe over and over again. ”
Tang Rui saw that Yaozun's expression was a little weird, and he couldn't guess what he was thinking, so he said with a flat face: "Master, I will know the formula, and then what?"
"Ahem. Yao Zun came back to his senses and coughed a few times in a slightly embarrassed manner, "Then the handprints." Then he made a few complex gestures very skillfully, and the speed was very fast, and Tang Rui followed after reading it.
Yaozun was so shocked that his beard trembled, and he said in his heart: "It's great that this kid remembers his surname!"
Then Yao Zun taught Tang Rui a few fire spells, and he learned them extremely quickly as usual. Yaozun had to admit that "blue is better than blue", but Tang Rui learned so quickly, he was also very happy.
There were complicated formulas and handprints swirling in his head, and Tang Rui lay on the bed and kept thinking about them, until he left a deep imprint in his mind, and then stopped. After a day of practice, he was also tired, and finally fell asleep and went to ......;
