Chapter 47: Blocked
Early the next morning
Zhao Cong aggressively pushed open the door of Chu Geli's hidden room, and saw Chu Geli sitting cross-legged running the Source Method, and complained: "Brother Chu is really diligent, he got up and cultivated so early, he really doesn't give us ordinary people a way to live." ”
Hearing this, Chu Qili also stopped practicing, opened his eyes, and exhaled deeply, "Brother Zhao Cong said with a smile. ”
After running the source method overnight, Chu Qili twisted his stiff body again and asked, "By the way, Brother Zhao Cong, I don't know if I can go to the Zhao Tribal Library to borrow a book or two?" I still have a lot of confusion about this method of the Imperial Spirit. ”
"This is naturally no problem, I'll take you there later. Zhao Cong nodded, and took out a robe and a silver-white token from his storage artifact.
The robe was dressed in purple gold at the waist, and a castle was also embroidered with gold thread on the left chest, and two dazzling purple-gold stripes were on the silver token. Zhao Cong handed the two to Chu Qili and explained, "This is the Imperial City's certification of your identity as a second-order spirit master. Chief Chief, let me bring it to you by the way. ”
Chu Qili took the clothes and tokens, put the clothes in front of him and gestured twice, and sighed lightly: "The things given by this imperial city are really extraordinary. It's a pity that in this desert desert north, it is really unbearable. Smelling a fresh aroma on the robe again, Chu Qili felt that his spirits were a little invigorated, which should also be one of the special effects of this clothes.
"Indeed, this Soul Master's robe is only useful during some large-scale events held in the Imperial City, to distinguish the Spirit Master from ordinary people. Zhao Cong also looked at the robe and explained, "But Brother Chu, don't underestimate this Spirit Master's robe, it is one of the best ways to show your identity, and ordinary people have to be respectful when they see the Spirit Master." If you need to go somewhere, wearing it can also eliminate a lot of unnecessary troubles for yourself. ”
Chu Qili nodded, put the Spirit Master robe and silver and white token into the storage ring, and asked, "Brother Zhao, apart from me, is there anyone else from the Chu tribe present in this Spirit Master Competition?"
This time the Spirit Master Qualifying Tournament caused a storm in the city, and many people heard his name, which was a little unfavorable to Chu Qili. After all, the more conspicuous he is, the easier it is for enemies hiding in the shadows to target him.
"The Chu tribe has no other visitors besides you. Zhao Cong shook his head and said, "I am in charge of recording foreign visitors, and the Yan tribe of the Spirit Master Contest also has no visitors. After all, the Soul Master is a rare profession, and not all tribes will specialize in cultivating it. Does Brother Chu have an appointment with his clan?"
"No, no. Chu Qili smiled and shook his head, "I'm not afraid of Brother Zhao's jokes when I say it, I also sneaked out, isn't it afraid of being discovered by the elders in the tribe." ”
"So, is Brother Chu's method of controlling spirits also studied by one person? I thought you were the key cultivation object of the Chu Clan. Zhao Cong was indeed a little shocked when he heard this, but as long as he thought of Chu Qili defeating Ye Gongzi, it seemed that these were nothing.
"It's not a key training, just an idler in the tribe. Chu Qili waved his hand, negating Zhao Cong's speculation, "Has Brother Zhao eaten?" If not, let's go down and eat some together, and I don't want to leave the library for these things in the next few days." ”
Zhao Cong also heard that Chu Heli was a little estranged from the Chu tribe, but after all, it was someone else's family matter, and he didn't want to ask. "Then I'll accompany Brother Chu to eat something, and as for staying in the Library Pavilion for a few days, I'll forget it. I'm afraid I'll suffocate in there. Zhao Cong smiled bitterly, he admired Chu Qili's serious temperament from the bottom of his heart.
This meal cost a silver coin, and Chu Qili invited Brother Zhao Cong to have a good meal, and then went into the library of the Zhao tribe. Although he was already a second-order spirit master, his lack of experience in spirit control was still one of Chu Qili's biggest problems. The library of the Zhao tribe not only has the growth of elixirs, but also records the experience of many predecessors, and he is also quite interested in this.
Not long after entering the library pavilion, Zhao Cong couldn't stay any longer, and left after greeting him. And Chu Qili quickly entered the realm of selflessness, and he did not let go of the growth case, the experience of the Imperial Spirit, and even some legends about the Imperial Spirit. When you are tired, you will use the source method instead of sleep, and so on, and this stay will be three days.
Although Chu Qili really wanted to continue to soak in this library pavilion, he thought that the time he had agreed with the Qi tribe for delivery was approaching, and he didn't want to miss the appointment, so he proposed the idea of leaving with Chief Zhao Gao.
After some conversation, Chief Zhao Gao wanted to continue to keep him in the tribe for a few days, but Chu Hate had already made up his mind to leave. couldn't keep it, so Chief Zhao Gao had no choice but to offer to give him a ride. Zhao Rou on the side shouted that Chu Qili was a life-saving benefactor, and also dragged her sister Zhao Zhi to follow behind. On the way, the group separated and soon walked out of the living area of the Zhao tribe.
In front of him was vast and inhuman, Chu Qili stopped, turned around and said, "That's it, everyone." Mountains and rivers always meet, and we will see you again in the future. ”
Zhao Gao and his entourage also said goodbye, and after a while of greetings, Chu Hatli threw himself into the desert alone, and his lonely figure gradually drifted away. "Alas..."Zhao Rou couldn't help but sigh as she watched him go away, and said with hatred, "Such a good opportunity, sister, you don't grasp it, in vain I worked hard to go so far with him." ”
"What are you talking about, dead girl, is it that my sister hasn't educated you for too long, and you have grown capable?" Zhao Zhi stretched out her hand and was about to fight, but Zhao Rou saw that she was annoyed by her sister, and hurriedly ran home. The frolic of the two also eased everyone's sentimental feelings.
Chu Qili, who was on the road alone, resumed the way he had tortured himself before, and it just so happened that the Yun Ling Fruit and Yun Shen Fruit in the storage ring still had left, which could support him to squander a lot of source qi and gallop away. On the way, when someone saw this figure occasionally, they also avoided it, and even mistook him for a fierce beast.
During the day, Chu Qili relied on the source qi provided by the spirit fruit to rush frantically, and at night he lit a bonfire to run the source method. Gradually entering winter, in the cold night, Chu Hali couldn't help but wrap his cloak tightly.
Sitting around the bonfire, Chu Hate couldn't help but think, "This trip back to the tribe, you should be about to start preparing for the 'New Year's ceremony', right? This time will definitely be the most lively one in my branch!"
The "New Year's Ceremony" is a unique festival in this primitive world, and it is very grand, just like the "Spring Festival" of Chu Hatli's previous life. This "New Year's Ceremony" is not only a day for family reunions, but also an important occasion for primitive tribes to hold sacrificial ceremonies and beg for good weather in the coming year. Thinking of this, Chu hated to leave and return to his hometown even more anxiously.
After four days of hurrying, Chu Qili finally saw the boundary monument of the Qin tribe at dusk, but there were nearly ten people gathered near the huge stone monument. "There's no good dog in the way. Chu Hatli couldn't help but have such an idea in his heart. But this boundary monument is a necessary place to enter the territory of the Qin tribe, even if he is reluctant to leave Chu in every way, he still has to walk there.
Chu Hatli, who was wearing a cloak coat, moved his steps closer to the Qin Clan's boundary monument. Just as they were about to pass by those people, there was a loud shout in their ears: "Stop! Who is it?" The night was slowly falling, and they couldn't see Chu Qili who had half of his face hidden under the cloak, so they stopped him without saying anything.
"Passers-by. Chu Qili lowered his head and replied in a low voice. Yu Guang caught a glimpse of them dressed familiarly, and when he saw the word "Qin" embroidered on his chest, he recalled that this was the official uniform of the Qin tribe.
The man at the head said unrelentingly: "What bullshit passerby, take off your hat and let the uncle see who you are." ”
Although the other party's attitude was bad, remembering that they should be the manpower arranged by the Qin tribe, Chu Qili didn't want to tear his face directly, so he followed their instructions and lifted his hat to reveal his face.
Chu Qili had just taken off his hat, and the man led by him shouted, "Take it down for me!"
