Chapter 40: Brother Xu, you're done
Zhou Lin's narration made Xu Que a little dumbfounded, he had previously entered the dream of "three bowls but not working", and the people he saw were all mortal martial artists, which was very similar to the environment in which he grew up, except that there were no monks.
But now when he heard Zhou Lin say a dream called "Immortal Rebellion", he couldn't help but be surprised, it was simply another world, and the cultivation method was earth-shaking different from what he knew now, but similarly, in that "Immortal Rebellion" world, the monks must have a spiritual root in their bodies to cultivate, and the dantian on their side is called Xingfu, and only those who are pregnant with stars can cultivate.
But this is not the point, for Xu Que, the top priority is to find a way to get the jade warrior armor, but the daydream realm is not something that their students can go to if they want to, and even the dream realm that each master can open is quite limited.
Zhou Lin told Xu Que that such a daydream realm as the "Immortal Rebellion" world could only be opened with the strength of the Hongyan Mansion Master, and it would only last for a few days, so Xu Que also dispelled the idea of going to that world for a visit, and instead locked the target on the three Jiazitang students with jade warriors in Huang Tianlou.
According to Zhou Lin's description, those three people are not the top existence in the Huangtianlou Jiazitang, and they can successfully complete the task and have additional gains, all due to luck, but in the final analysis, they are still the best students of Huangtianlou, with the strength of the two of them, there is a big gap with those people, and there is no possibility at all to borrow the jade warrior armor, in other words, why should people borrow it?
Xu Que raised his eyebrows and said, "Talk to them about the conditions, as long as we can enter the Qiongyu Building, get in touch with those ancient books of the law, and write down some of them when the time comes." ”
"This is equivalent to violating the rules of the building, in the Qiongyu Building, many things are not allowed to be passed on to the second person, if it is violated, we will all be expelled from this place. Zhou Lin smiled bitterly.
"Why are there so many rules, is this place cultivating students or keeping students in captivity?" Xu Que frowned after hearing this, he was very displeased, although the mirage was powerful and mysterious, these rules, big and small, made him very unaccustomed to it.
Zhou Lin couldn't answer, he could only smile bitterly, in his opinion, the building rules of the mirage are the most lenient when looking at the major forces in the world, Xu Que feels unaccustomed, and can only say that Xu Que himself is not suitable for these forces with rules and regulations.
......
In the end, the two of them thought hard for a while, and decided to try it with the three students from Jiazitang.
The first hall and the second hall are located on the same floor, the space of the school is not only wider than the two halls of Bingding, but also the horizontal aspect is also very atmospheric, the ancient fragrance and calligraphy are complete, and the students sitting in the school are obviously a few years older than Xu Que and Zhou Lin, and the childishness has been taken off, regardless of men and women, everyone has a calm and high-spirited temperament.
Zhou Lin knew the three students, two men and one woman, and their cultivation was all at the seventh layer of the Blood Realm. But the other party obviously didn't know Zhou Lin, when he and Xu Que appeared outside the door of Jiazitang and opened their mouths to ask to see the three students, the three of them were the same as the full hall, they just glanced at each other, but never got up.
"Zhou Lin, Xu Que, are they the two who won the first place in this assessment?" At this time, a woman close to the door took the initiative to speak, seventeen or eighteen years old, with bright teeth and bright eyes, looking at her with interest.
Xu Que arched his hand and said with a smile: "Senior sister is right, it's the two of us." ”
The smile on the woman's face was even stronger, and she said, "This place is not commensurate with senior sister and junior brother, but you two don't go to Qiongyulou, but come to Jiazitang, what's the matter?"
She did not declare her name, but was interested in the visit of Xu Que and Zhou Lin.
Xu Que didn't care about this, and was about to speak, but Zhou Lin next to him was afraid that Xu Que would make a lot of mistakes, so he spoke first and expressed his intention to the woman, wanting to borrow the jade warrior armor to go to Qiongyulou.
He didn't have a loud voice and talked well, but he left a good impression on many students, but after the three of them heard that they were going to borrow the jade warrior armor, they still didn't say anything, and sat in place with an indifferent expression, holding an ancient book in their hands, and reading by themselves.
The atmosphere also became awkward all of a sudden, and Zhou Lin still had a smile on his face, but it was obviously mixed with bitterness, and even a little unnatural.
Xu Que raised his eyebrows, his joy and anger were not expressed, but his eyes began to wander, as if he was thinking about some small thoughts.
But at such times, the woman spoke.
"Yu Sheng, these two teenagers are also our classmates, whether you borrow or not, you have to give someone an answer, right?"
The woman's words finally made the three of them raise their heads, their eyes swept over, and the man named Yu Sheng shook his head lightly, and said indifferently: "There is no dream experience today, how can we bring the jade warrior armor?
"Two newborn calves, let them stand outside the door, and learn what the rules are. Another man with jade armor also spoke, his eyes turning back to the book in his hand.
The woman near the door shook her head and smiled, glanced at Xu Que and Zhou Lin, and didn't say anything more, the meaning was already obvious, she could only help this step.
There was more or less anger in Zhou Lin's eyes, but he always suppressed it and stopped showing it, stood outside the door, leaned over and arched his hand, and made a compilation to the many students in Jiazitang: "Everyone, it is abrupt. ”
It's just that before the ceremony was finished, Xu Que suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him, and at the same time smiled at the woman: "Sister, thank you, the two of us will take a step forward first, and I won't disturb your study of ancient books." ”
After speaking, he pulled Zhou Lin's clothes, turned around and left.
The woman was stunned for a while, she corrected Xu Que's name for her, but she didn't expect this to be exchanged for the title of "sister", she couldn't help but smile, watched Xu Que and Zhou Lin leave with interest, and said in a low voice: "This child named Xu Que is interesting, and it is quite consistent with the description of some recent rumors." ”
"This kind of human heart is like this, I can't even resist a little suppression, and I am destined to do nothing in the future, but Zhou Lin is not bad that time, but it is a pity that I came together with this kind of person, and sooner or later I will mistake myself for life. When Yu Sheng heard the woman's words, he didn't raise his head, and answered lightly.
The woman shook her head: "There are no absolutes in everything. ”
"Then do you think that without our jade warrior armor, the two of them would be able to go up to the Qiongyu Tower? Obviously, the pavilion master and the landlord are embarrassing him, if he has a little self-knowledge, he should withdraw from the mirage as soon as possible. Yu Sheng said.
Then the woman did not speak again, and the Jiazitang regained its calm, except for the sound of turning the pages.
The matter of borrowing the jade warrior armor will naturally be spread to the other three halls of the Yellow Sky Tower, before sunset, many people already know the situation of Xu Que and Zhou Lin, and the Star Picking Pavilion has done what it says, and the first place will be rewarded to go to Qiongyu Tower to practice for two years, but as for not being able to go up to that building, it really has nothing to do with the pavilion master.
The students of Yizitang were also quite relieved, especially some people who were about to win the first place, and at this moment they were gloating with others about Xu Que and Zhou Lin's ignorance.
And Xu Que and the two had already returned to their respective rooms, Zhou Lin took a little time to pack the luggage back to its original appearance, dispelling the idea of going to Qiongyulou, but Xu Que came to eat in the evening, but told him to quickly pack up his luggage and prepare to leave for Qiongyulou tomorrow.
Zhou Lin asked the reason in every possible way, but Xu Que replied with an unfathomable look: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed. ”
Early the next morning, the students of Jiazitang went to study in the school again, Xu Que opened the door and walked out, with his hands behind his back, walking in the corridor, as if he had come out to inspect.
After noticing that there was no one around, he sneaked out of the room where the students of Jiazitang lived, gently pushed open the door, and flashed in with a flicker, and after a while, he walked out with a small bag in his hand, and immediately entered the second door.
Half an hour later, he was already carrying several heavy bags of heavy baggage, and he was holding two pieces of jade-colored bright armor in his hand, and rushed back to his room.
"Go to the rules of your mother!" Xu Que closed the door and threw the bags of baggage on the bed, and suddenly made a crisp sound of "Ding Dang". One of the baggage was not tightly fastened, and a pile of silver rolled out abruptly.
Xu Que didn't care, reached out and touched it into his arms, took out the crazy old man's little black bag, and forcibly stuffed the silver two into it one by one, and half an hour later, the silver two in several bags of baggage all went into the small bag, but the bag was still light, and he didn't feel any weight at all.
Xu Que smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a slit, he checked the small black bag in his hand, and said to himself: "After making trouble for a long time, this little bag is a treasure." ”
After speaking, he stuffed the bag back into his arms, lifted the other bag of clothes on the bed and the two jade armors, and opened the door and walked towards the door of Zhou Lin's house.
Zhou Lin was originally cultivating, but after Xu Que pushed the door in, he also opened his eyes and woke up, frowning to explain to Xu Que that he would pay attention to knocking on the door in the future, but as soon as his head turned around, his eyes fell on the two pieces of jade armor in Xu Que's hand, and the expression on his face instantly froze.
"Brother Xu, what are you ......" his eyes widened and he exclaimed.
"Quickly put it on, then crush the jade talisman and leave. Xu Que walked in, threw one of the jade armors over, and closed the door casually, the smile on his face still undiminished.
Zhou Lin didn't react, and watched in a daze as the jade armor flew into the air and smashed directly on his head, although it was a little painful, it instantly brought him back to his senses.
"Brother Xu, how did you get these two jade armors?" Zhou Lin's face gradually became panicked, and there was a vague uneasy prediction.
Xu Que dropped his luggage, put the jade figurine armor on his body, and said at the same time: "Of course I went to their room to borrow it, but the person is not there, so I will use it first." ”
Zhou Lin's face instantly turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "Brother Xu, you are going to finish this time." ”
