Chapter Twenty-Seven: Lombard
It's still that little mountain, and Gao Zhi has been here for three days and three nights. At the foot of the mountain, the eyes are full of desolation, there are large and small potholes everywhere, and Gao Zhi himself is even more embarrassed, like a wild child.
"How could it be wrong again?"
Gao Zhi frowned and muttered, he felt that he had clearly figured it out that day, why was it not good in the end?
"Why is it not right? Why is it not right? His sister-in-law has a leg. ”
Gao Zhi lay on his back on the ground, looking tired and confused.
"His sister-in-law has a leg!"
Gao Zhi let out a loud shout, startling some harmless birds to soar into the sky.
"The way is definitely right, it's me who did it wrong. ”
Gao Zhi sat up again, his eyes were firm, and he picked up a stone about the size of two fists of an adult, and at the same time picked up a dagger next to him and cut it directly. The cut surface is very smooth, and it has a lot of skill.
"Come again!"
Gao Zhi cheered himself up, unwilling to fail like this. The index finger and middle finger of the right hand are brought together, constantly marking traces on the stone, and some of them stay in it, and they do not collapse directly.
Soon, a set of formations took shape, and Gao Zhi hurriedly closed the other half of the stone, but who knows, before Gao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, it burst open again in an instant, fortunately, Gao Zhi had already had experience and used Dao power to protect himself in advance, otherwise he would inevitably be hurt.
"Ahh
Gao Zhiqi kept stomping his feet, very annoyed.
"What are you doing, kid?"
A voice sounded nearby, Gao Zhi was stunned, and hurriedly followed the sound, only to see an old man coming slowly, walking without a sound. It is very strange that the other party's hair is like ink, but the beard and eyebrows are white, especially the beard above the corners of the mouth, which is even more slender, like a dragon's whisker.
"Uncle, who are you?"
Gao Zhi quietly took a step back, his little face was full of puzzlement, but there was a flash of caution in his eyes.
"I, a casual cultivator who lives in the Ancient History Forest. ”
The old man smiled and breathed plainly, giving people a very approachable feeling.
"Living in the Ancient Forest?"
Gao Zhi blinked his eyes, tilted his head and said, "That means, you are not from Tianmen?"
"Well, the Gate of Heaven is not where I came from. The old man chuckled lightly and said at the same time, "It seems that you are a new generation disciple of Tianmen?"
"That's right. Gao Zhi nodded, "Why did you come here?"
"It's too boring to be alone, so I come out to breathe. The old man smiled and gave a reason that was not a reason. After all, this is the sphere of influence of Tianmen, and this place is the famous 'Ancient History Forest', which contains a great crisis.
However, Gao Zhi naturally didn't think of this, but his intuition told him that this old man was not simple. Because he vaguely felt a sense of crisis from the other party that was no worse than that of the old man Tianyun.
"Oh......"
Gao Zhi nodded, thought about it, and grinned: "Then, goodbye, uncle." ”
When the words fell, Gao Zhi turned around and left, without stopping for a moment. On the contrary, the old man was stunned on the spot, not knowing how to react. Seeing that Gao Zhi was about to go away, the old man hurriedly shouted: "Little friend, why are you in a hurry to leave? I see that you seem to be trying to use the formation for other purposes. It just so happens that the old man also has a lot of research on this, why don't you and I study it together?"
"Not interested. ”
Gao Zhi waved his hand, a little eager to leave this place.
"If the old man tells you, I know why you failed?" The old man's voice was not high, but it sounded like thunder in Gao Zhi's ears. I have to say that this method is very effective, Gao Zhi didn't figure it out for several days, and he was naturally unwilling in his heart, especially when he felt that he was about to cross that hurdle, but it was just a little bit worse.
"Actually, I'm very smart, even if you don't say it, it won't be long before I think of it. ”
Gao Zhi scratched his head and said with some reluctance.
"That's natural, the old man has actually been here for a while, although I have studied the formation quite a lot, but I haven't thought about your approach. It's just that I know more things than you, so naturally I can think of some things. ”
The old man didn't have a little smiling and said.
"Well, that's good, I know that what a smart person like me thinks, others must not be able to think of. ”
Gao Zhi smiled, very embarrassed.
When Gao Zhi walked in front of him, the old man bent down to pick up a discarded stone and said with a smile: "Actually, you have succeeded, but unfortunately, this stone cannot carry that kind of power." Moreover, there are many small gaps in the stone, which will cause the Dao power injected into it to run wild. ”
"yes, yes, I should have thought of that. ”
Gao Zhi was overjoyed, jumped up excitedly, and urged: "You say it quickly, say it quickly." ”
The old man smiled and bowed his head, as if he didn't realize that there was anything wrong with Gao Zhi's statement, and continued: "If there is an extraordinary thing as a carrier, such as some rare materials for refining weapons, and if you smelt it, you can carve a formation on it, and you can absorb Dao power, and when you fight, you can use it." ”
"I want to, too, but I don't. ”
Gao Zhi looked disappointed, feeling that he couldn't complete such a great idea, which was really sad.
"Coincidentally, the old man has some. ”
The old man chuckled, and with a surge of Dao power, a piece of red jade one foot square appeared in his hand, and a faint fire qi emerged in it. "This jade is called 'Volcanic Jade', and it is also a good material, so you may be able to experiment with it. ”
"Give it to me?"
The corners of Gao Zhi's mouth furrowed, and his face showed embarrassment.
"It's just a piece of volcanic jade, it's not a big deal, you just take it. The old man chuckled, not paying attention.
"Then I can't. Gao Zhi directly shook his head and refused, but his eyes were reluctant to leave the piece of volcanic jade, he really wanted to experiment. It's a pity that Old Man Tianyun didn't prepare these things for him.
"Well, why is that?" the old man was stunned, very puzzled. And the people who don't want to give things, let alone a child.
"My sister said that other people's things can't be easily asked. ”
Gao Zhi sighed lightly, looked like a little adult, and continued: "If you give me something, then I will owe you a favor, and if I owe a favor, I will naturally have to pay it back in the future." Although 'yet' is not a problem, it puts a shackle on my soul. ”
"What's the reasoning?"
The old man smiled helplessly, it was the first time he had heard this theory, but it was indeed very reasonable.
"Since I gave it to you, naturally there is no reason for you to pay it back, you can just take it. ”
Then, the old man said again.
"No, sister's words, I have to listen. Gao Zhi's tone was firm, and although he wanted it very much, he was unmoved.
"Then what do you want to do? Don't test it?" The old man was helpless again, as long as he shifted the topic to Gao Zhi's test formation.
"There you go. ”
Gao Zhi was suddenly overjoyed, and suddenly punched, directly hitting the old man's chest. The old man was stunned, his eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glow flashed, and then quickly dispersed, his face was still full of smiles.
"Smack......
Gao Zhi lightly hit the old man, and at the same time, he grabbed the volcanic jade in the old man's hand with a move with his left hand, and retreated. "Alright, now this thing is mine. ”
"What's the point?"
The old man couldn't cry or laugh, and as soon as he came out, he was going to be dizzy by this kid.
"If someone gives me something, if I take it, I owe it a favor. ”
Gao Zhi grabbed the 'Volcanic Jade' tightly, and said at the same time: "But if I robbed the thing, then it is naturally mine, and I don't need to owe favors." ”
"This ......"
The old man stared, it was the first time he had heard such a truth after living for so long, and it was from the mouth of a child. I don't know, I really think this is a kid from a bandit's den.
"Then, according to your statement, if you rob someone else's things, others will naturally want to snatch things back. But in this way, won't the two sides have a feud with each other?"
The old man quickly calmed down and spoke in a teaching tone.
"No, no, your idea is not right, uncle. ”
Gao Zhi shook his head again and again, "I snatched his things, which means that he can't beat me." Since you can't beat me, you won't come and get it back. Besides, what I grabbed was mine, so why did he snatch it?"
"How is the thing you snatched yours? Isn't that what you robbed?"
The old man was a little confused and opened his mouth in confusion.
"yes, it's mine. Gao Zhi nodded seriously.
"Smack!"
The old man patted his head, and felt that his thoughts seemed to have entered a fork in the road, and after thinking for a long time, he finally had to say: "Then you don't realize it, is it a bad behavior to rob other people's things by yourself?"
"I don't think so. If I'm robbing someone else's stuff, it's definitely something I'm missing. If I don't grab it, how can I have it? Uncle, why can't you even think of such a simple question? ”
Gao Zhi wrinkled his nose, slightly dissatisfied.
"Then you have to share the people you rob, right? You won't rob everyone, right?"
The old man sighed, and he suddenly felt that his brain was not enough.
"Of course, if you rob even the poor, won't you become a bandit? I'm not that kind of person. ”
Gao Zhi patted his chest, as if to show his kindness.
Hearing this, the corners of the old man's mouth twitched, and he secretly slandered himself: "You are not that kind of person, but your thinking is much more powerful than that of bandits. ”
"I'm a good boy. Gao Zhi smiled narcissistically.
"By the way, I don't know your name yet. The old man had no choice but to divert from the topic, not wanting to go any further, otherwise he might have gone out to grab something.
"Small ambition, small ambition, ambitious ambition. Gao Zhi hid his surname again, said his name directly, and asked at the same time: "What about you, uncle?" ”
"Call me Lombard. ”
The old man smiled, and there was a strange glint in his eyes.
