Chapter 284: Martial Soul Temple
By the time Xiao Wu and Lanta hurried back to the Dragon Snake Manor from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Gu You had already fallen asleep from excessive exhaustion.
Neither of them believed in the story of the righteous thief with a strong Gu You flavor in Oneiroi's mouth, and knew that this was a method that Gu You used to not let Oneiroi know the truth. Maybe four years ago, the two who had not experienced the baptism of ancient travel stories would still be deceived by this kind of story, but now, after years of growth, this kind of story has long been unable to blind the bright eyes of the two.
When Gu You woke up, he was already on the rise. In addition to the pain in the meridians that I had before I went to bed, the muscles of my body are now tearing and painful, and there is no corner that is not painful.
Two kinds of pain double-pinched, Gu You, who was lying on the bed, took a breath of cool air, and his mouth made all kinds of strange sounds uncontrollably.
It took half an hour to finally get used to this unprecedented feeling of ancient travel, and it was difficult to get up from bed. After the difficult washing, he moved to the lounge step by step, and saw Tang San lying on the sofa and reading a book.
"Early." Noticing the figure of Gu You at the door, Tang San said hello, threw a moist grape into his mouth, pointed to the bell on the table and said, "If you want to eat any breakfast, you can use this to shout Sebas, you can also wait a little longer, it will be lunch time soon." ”
Not hearing Gu You's response, Tang San looked over curiously, just met Gu You's eyes, and couldn't help laughing: "Don't think about it, the meridians of the two of us are the same, you just bear with it." ”
"Tsk, I think so." Gu You, who expected that Tang San should be similar, sat on another sofa, secretly pulled the fruit plate in Tang San's hand in front of him, picked up the apple and nibbled on it.
"Xiao Wu and Atta, are they okay?"
"It's fine."
Tang San, who wanted to continue eating grapes, touched the void, glanced at Gu You, who had taken the fruit plate, and turned the "Incredible Misty Wetland: Poisonous Insects and Monster Grasses Invisible to Other Places" in his hand to the next page, and said, "Compared to us, they want to know more about why this soul saint is a pervert who sneaks into other people's homes. ”
"How do I know?" Muttering and eating a pear and half a bunch of grapes, feeling that the fruit really couldn't fill his stomach, Gu You asked Sebas to bring something over to fill his stomach first, "What about them?" ”
"I went to school. Except for Sister Liu, who was still a little tired, Xiao Wu and Atta were fine, so they decided to continue to go back to the academy and help the two of us ask for leave by the way. ”
"Atta asked me to tell you that she will be responsible for supervising everyone's cultivation with Sister Yi, and by the way, complete the data test of Tianheng and Zhuqing, you have to rest at home and don't worry about the affairs of the academy."
Well, the obligation of the student is to go to school. Even if he is a high-ranking soul master, as long as he is not old enough, he can't avoid the fate of going to school.
After eating the bread sent by Sebas, he swept away the extra lunch. Rubbing his stomach that was finally filled, Gu You burped in satisfaction.
Seeing that Gu You seemed to be almost recovered, Tang San said, "Full? Let's go to the lab. ”
Neither of them can use their soul power, so they can only conduct theoretical research. Theoretical research does not require soul power, as long as the brain and hands can move.
During the holiday in Notting City, the two of them had already carried out this kind of pure theoretical research many times, and they had also designed several feasible soul guide arrays through the soul-like structure in the poison needle. Although I have some self-confidence in the results, as long as I have not succeeded, I need to continue to work hard.
"Uh...... This time is too tiring, is it okay to take a day off? ”
Facing Tang San, who was full of interest, Gu You interrupted with some embarrassment.
It's only been a few days since he returned to Heaven Dou City, and Gu You's past few days have felt like a whole century has passed for him.
It's fighting and researching, he's tired and needs a break to relax.
“………”
Gu You's radiant face, Tang San really couldn't see where he showed tiredness.
The poison on Dugu Bo's body, artificial soul bones, natural soul bones turned into artificial ones. Every task is a big project, not to mention multiple tasks being carried out at the same time. The time of two people is not enough, and Gu You even wants to waste a day?!
Facing Tang San's death gaze, Gu You flattered him with a finger, "One day, just rest for one day." I promise not to be lazy tomorrow. ”
Unable to resist Gu You, Tang San sighed helplessly, "What do you want to do, sleep or fish?" ”
"Well, this one."
Even if you sleep, you just woke up, and you can't sleep when you lie in bed again, you will only be tormented by the pain of the meridians in silence.
Fishing sounds pretty good, but there don't seem to be any famous fishing spots near Heaven Dou City, and there are no treasure dens that veteran anglers know.
After coming to Heaven Dou City for half a year, Gu You only knew that there was a big lake in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy that was quite suitable for fishing, but it was impossible for him to just ask for leave on the front foot and go back to fishing with a fishing rod on the back foot.
What is the difference between this and asking the head teacher for sick leave and then sending out the circle of friends, only to forget to block the head teacher's WeChat.
In the past, in Notting City, Gu You was either reading books and doing research or fighting and exercising. For occasional breaks, the only options are sleeping and fishing. This person is unfamiliar with the place, and in a short period of time, Gu You really can't think of what he should do.
Tang San on the side seemed to be smiling. Gu You will be entangled in his expectations, thinking that in the end, Gu You, who still can't think of what to do, will definitely give up on himself and obediently go back to the laboratory with him to continue the experiment.
After only three minutes, Gu You's eyes lit up, and he said to Tang San, "Let's go to the Martial Spirit Hall to find Sister Nightingale." ”
I haven't seen him for more than half a year, and I don't know how Sister Nightingale is doing in Heaven Dou City now. With her character of touching the fish monster, there is a high probability that she will fish for three days and dry the net for two days, so she can be a salary thief with peace of mind.
"Yes."
Tang San remembered that the Martial Spirit Hall had sent Notting City to protect the ancient tours, and by the way, the beautiful big sister who escorted them to Heaven Dou City. Although this "protection" may be debatable because of her personality, she did help everyone grow up a lot in Notting City. It is reasonable to pay a visit.
So Tang San temporarily put down his beloved laboratory, and after discussing with Gu You to bring gifts, he left the Dragon Snake Manor and went to unlock the map of the Heaven Dou City Martial Spirit Hall together.
Heaven Dou City is one of the largest cities in the Douluo Continent. As the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, one of the two major empires today, the Martial Soul Hall has set up a Martial Soul Temple, which is second only to the Pope's Hall in Wuhun City, to serve the soul masters in the surrounding area of Heaven Dou City in order to show respect for the empire.
"It's a bit of an exaggeration."
"Indeed."
The huge building in front of him made the two hillbillies from Notting City stunned. When they saw the Martial Spirit Temple for the first time, they never thought that there would be such a building.
If you really want to describe it, Gu You can praise this building with no less than a thousand words of gorgeous rhetoric. But if you want to condense these thousand words into one sentence, Gu You will say this: no less than the Heaven Dou Palace.
That's right, in Gu You's opinion, the grandeur of the building in front of him was no less than the heart and symbol of the Heaven Dou Empire. Even because the surrounding guards all exuded a faint fluctuation of soul power without exception, the majesty displayed was far beyond that of the palace.
If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't located in the center of Heaven Dou City, it wouldn't cover as much area as the Imperial City. An outsider who has just entered the city may even think that this place is the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
Although in fact, Gu You didn't stay in Heaven Dou City for a long time, but it was only now that he finally had time to come and visit, which was indeed something he didn't expect.
According to the regulations of the Wuhun Palace, if a soul master below level 40 wants to receive the soul master subsidy, he must be present in person to test the soul power level. In the case of Guyou's lack of money, normally speaking, you should squat at the door on time every month to receive the subsidy.
It's a pity that the subsidy for the ancient tour was received in Notting City, so there is no need to come here.
Before leaving Notting City, Gu You agreed with Ma Xiuno that he would not receive this subsidy elsewhere. Therefore, during this period of absence, the subsidies are stored in the Martial Soul Hall in case the Holy Soul Village needs it from time to time.
Of course, this was also agreed upon after consultation. The four of them have a total of 310 gold soul coins per month, which is more than enough for daily life, but it is really a drop in the bucket in research. Instead of dedicating one day a month to get this money, it is better to save it and give it to the village.
Gu You will not cheat Ma Xiunuo for this money. As long as you have the opportunity to go back to the village, test your soul power on the spot, and then make up the information to receive the subsidy for this period of time at one time, there will be no situation where you are still getting money if your level is over.
In addition, because the local Wuhun Hall has not uniformly implemented networking, it is still being recorded with paper archives. Therefore, at the beginning of each year, the Wuhun Hall in various places will hand over the information of the previous year to Wuhun City, and there are special staff responsible for verification to check whether there are people in different places in the same month to receive subsidies.
If there is, Wuhun Hall will issue a wanted warrant, so that he can taste what the iron fist of the tax department is, and know which money can be touched and which money cannot be touched.
The time had already come to the afternoon, and there were still crowds of people outside the gate of the Heaven Dou City Martial Spirit Hall, and no less than ten people passed through the gate every second. A fat uncle with a child and a kind face heard Gu You's voice, followed the voice, and saw that it was two young people who seemed to be underage, looking at their slightly ordinary clothes, and said with a smile: "Little brother, is it your first time here?" ”
Gu You nodded, "Yes, big brother, it's the first time for the two of us to come." I didn't expect it to be so big and there are so many people. ”
"Hahaha, that's what a lot of first-time people say." The fat uncle laughed, and he could see that he was extremely proud that Heaven Dou City had such a magnificent Martial Spirit Palace.
Gu You took the opportunity to talk with this enthusiastic uncle, and the two talked and laughed. And Tang San, who was looking at the magnificent building in front of him, frowned slightly at this time, and his expression was a little serious.
Even if he couldn't use his soul power, he could still be called outstanding eyesight after being strengthened by the autumn dew, allowing him to see at a glance that this martial soul temple was almost the same as the Heaven Dou Palace in height, only a little shorter than the palace at the highest point.
Although Tang San knew from Qian Ling Xue that the Martial Spirit Hall had some dark thoughts about the two empires, but it was so obvious, was this idea really not exposed to the emperor?
The Heaven Dou Empire, would it really be defenseless against the Wuhun Palace?
"Thanks, big brother."
Waving goodbye to the uncle, Gu You smiled and watched him walk into the Martial Spirit Hall with the child, and when he turned his head, he saw Tang San stop in place with a heavy face, patted Tang San on the back, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's fine." Tang San shook his head, preparing to go back and tell Gu You this question again, "Why are there so many ordinary people here?" ”
Compared with the Martial Soul Hall of Notting City, where there are only a large number of soul masters entering and leaving at the beginning of the month and the end of the month, and the Martial Spirit Hall of Notting City, which is usually deserted, there are indeed too many people here. At a glance, most of them weren't even soul masters.
People who are not soul masters have a very similar characteristic, that is, they all carry a child who is about six years old, and their faces also have a uniform expression of seven points of nervousness, two points of anxiety and one point of expectation.
"They brought their children here to awaken the martial spirit." The two followed the direction of the flow of people and passed through the gate of the Martial Spirit Temple. "The noble Heaven Dou City is different from our small place, there is a soul master here who is responsible for presiding over the martial soul awakening ceremony every day. As long as you celebrate your sixth birthday, you can come and awaken the martial spirit the next day. ”
The enthusiastic fat uncle just now was like this, his son just celebrated his sixth birthday yesterday, and he hurriedly brought him over today to awaken the martial spirit. The reason why he came over in the afternoon instead of the morning was because he was not from Heaven Dou City, but a villager from a village outside the city, and it took him half a day just to bring his children over.
Many people, young and old, are all out of the house, as if they are grabbing a degree. It seems that as long as there are more people, the probability of a child awakening soul power will also increase.
"Good guy, I didn't expect that there are Tianlong people here, and the edge Tianlong people are also Tianlong people, right, what if you are a little envious."
Everyone is scolding the Tianlong people, and everyone wants to be the Tianlong people. In a group of Tianlong people who were a head shorter, Gu You stood out from the crowd and complained quietly.
He knew that no one here except Tang San knew what the Heavenly Dragon Man meant, but the martial souls of the Douluo Continent were strange, and the ghost knew if there would be martial souls that automatically translated figurative sentences.
Passing through the gate, the guards on both sides were taken aback by Gu You's height that didn't match his face, but they didn't come forward to ask because of this. Every day, people who come here can break 5,000 without saying anything, and when they see a little strange person, they ask, this must not be exhausting.
Walking into the interior of the Wuhun Palace, the sunlight shines through the colorful glass windows, and the patterns on it break into people's eyes in a brilliant and dazzling posture.
A warrior with a spear and six halos on his body wrestles in the forest with a fierce beast with three heads. An old man holding a book with a cane in his hand teaches knowledge to young children under a tree. The girl with white wings on her back handed the flame in her hand to the yellow-skinned old man.
Each of these windows is telling an epic of the past.
In the center, there is a female statue carved from white jade, and the expression full of motherhood is intoxicating. It opened its arms, as if ready to embrace everyone who came in. A pair of huge wings stretch behind it, and the veins of each feather are clearly visible.
The colored light shone on it, as if the statue itself was glowing, and a kind of divinity naturally spread here.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Gu You, who had woken up from the shock, looked around, "E, Xiaosan, should we find someone to ask for directions?" ”
My little gold film has finally arrived, showing off a wave. Ask for a recommended ticket, ask for a monthly pass~~~
