Chapter 288: The People Outside the Building
"Excluding the two of you, there are only six people left who have not yet reached the second floor. Zhou Ji's voice seemed to reveal some schadenfreude, and at the same time, there was an inexplicable temptation.
As the poetry and demi-saint of Tianlan Kingdom, and also the leader of Ouyang Ke and others this time, Zhou Ji is indeed qualified to be happy, because Ouyang Ke has already stepped into the sixth floor of the Yellow Crane Tower.
And Su Wen, who had a blood feud with Tianlan Academy, hadn't even climbed to the second floor.
Although it is still an unsolved mystery to say that the death of Zi Sang and Midsummer in the Lost Swamp that day, it is an ironclad fact that Su Wen led the Xu family to guard and slaughter the teachers and students of Tianlan Academy, of course, the reason for this is that Tianlan Academy and Wushuang Academy are at the fault first, so at least on the surface, no one can blame Su Wen.
But no matter what, the feud between Su Wen and the Wu Kingdom and the Tianlan Empire is completely settled.
When Zhou Ji watched Lu Sanjiao's face become more and more ugly day by day, his heart was sweeter than eating honey.
At this time, there were a total of four demi-saints outside the Yellow Crane Tower, but everyone knew that Zhou Ji's words were for Lu Sanjiao.
In addition to this, Zhou Ji also has a purpose.
He wanted to know, who were those two hairy boys who had not yet entered the Yellow Crane Tower?
This year's Holy Land opened, and there seemed to be a lot of situations that everyone didn't expect, for example, the little girl Wujo from the Martial Kingdom, obviously didn't have the slightest fluctuation in talent, how did she get into the Yellow Crane Tower?
Especially in recent years, the Tianlan Empire has made good friends with the Wu Kingdom, and the students of the two countries have entered the Holy Land in the past few sessions. Almost all of them know each other, but this time the three people who represent Wu Guo ascending the building, Zhou Ji has never heard of any of them.
All the time. Among the ten kingdoms of the human race, the martial kingdom is a relatively special existence.
Because its martial style is not the same as today's mainstream literature, even before the fall of the Sword Saint Duanyue, it was rumored that he was a rough person who could not read a single big character.
However, even in the case of the strong rise of Wen Dao, Duan Yue still relied on the three-foot green peak in his hand to be canonized.
He didn't have a civil position. Therefore, the title of "Sword Saint" does not come from the Divine Book and Heaven and Earth, but is recognized by the Wendao Saints!
And the reason why Duan Yue was able to occupy one of the few martial arts places among the Hundred Saints. It is because he once killed the evil lord and the demon general Akameze two saints with his own hands in the holy war!
Being able to slash the Holy Rank with a sword is naturally also a Holy Rank.
Even if the sword in his hand is not recognized by the divine book.
It's a pity that such a stunning and glamorous character. However, he was unfortunately killed in the Battle of Beigu Mountain more than 20 years ago. It's embarrassing.
Today, there is only one Sage left in the entire Martial Kingdom, and he is also the only Sage in the Martial Dao today, which is unimaginable compared to the glory of the Martial Dao a hundred and ten years ago.
Maybe in a few tens or hundreds of years, the martial arts will be completely buried in the dust of history like the demons of the past, and they will never see the light of day again.
But anyway. At least in the Holy Land Yellow Crane Tower, whether it is for Wendao students. It's still relatively fair to people in the martial arts.
Just as Lu Sanjiao was able to see the true meaning of the tea ceremony on the loess stones, Huo Xiu, the gun king of the Wuguo back then, also realized a set of marksmanship from it.
It is the overlord gun of the Megatron Mountain Customs in the future.
But for the people of Wuguozhong, if they want to enter the Yellow Crane Tower, they need to at least open their minds to obtain the position of Wensheng, which is also the minimum threshold for entering the building.
In previous years, I had never heard of anyone stepping into the Yellow Crane Tower without being literate.
The appearance of Gojo this time opened everyone's eyes.
The only explanation is that, like Su Wen's previous speculation about Lu Sanjiao, this Wutiao may have some kind of high-level literary treasure, which concealed his own literary position and deceived the eyes of all the demi-saints.
At least from the silence of Huang Tingjian and Huang Shuangsheng, it can be seen that Wujo's actions did not break the rules of the Yellow Crane Tower.
In addition to the unexpected appearance of Gojo, what puzzled the four demi-saints the most was naturally the situation of the students going upstairs this time.
Don't look at Zhou Jixi at this time, smiling, and even mocking, but in fact, even he hid a trace of uneasiness in his heart.
Because the results of the students climbing the building this time have hit a record low.
You must know that whoever can get the quota to enter the Yellow Crane Tower, which one is not a genius among the geniuses of the ten kingdoms of the human race? Although it is impossible to reach the top in a month's time, it is only a test of the first floor, and there is absolutely no problem for these genius boys!
In the past, when the Holy Land was opened, the slowest record was only two days to enter the second layer.
But what about this time?
Even five days after the Holy Land opened, there were still six people left on the first floor!
If the failure of Loulan Kingdom, Xiao Si, and Yan Guochaiping can be explained as a lack of talent, or the decline of the national strength of the two countries and the withering of talents, then what about Su Wen, Shen Mu, and Zixi?
Among these three people, Zixi is from the great country of Langyang, Jinguo, and holds the position of imperial secretary, Shen Mu is also from Qingguo, which is not weak in national strength, and is even one of the strong candidates for the new four talents, as for the last Su Wen, although the literary position is the lowest among the three, he is a dignified saint named by the Holy Land!
If it weren't for witnessing it with their own eyes, who would have thought that these three people had not yet entered the second floor of the Holy Tower?
However, among the four semi-saints in the field, no one is from the four countries of Loulan, Yan, Jin, and Qing, so the most anxious person in his heart is still Lu Sanjiao.
He knew very well that under normal circumstances, with Su Wen's understanding, it would never be possible that he had not climbed the tower until now, so it could only be that something had happened in the Holy Tower.
Lu Sanjiao couldn't see what was going on in the Yellow Crane Tower, so he could only be in a hurry, and it wasn't until this time that Zhou Ji faintly pointed the finger at Xunchen and Haoma, which suddenly reminded Lu Sanjiao of something.
I still remember that before Su Wen ascended the building, he specially asked Lu Sanjiao to check the geometry of two of the literati among all the people in the field.
These two people are Xunchen and Haoma.
So, now that Su Wen has encountered an unknown accident, will it have something to do with these two people?
And the actions of Xunchen and Haoma were also the third unbelievable thing that the four demi-saints had seen during their trip to the Holy Land.
Why didn't they enter the Yellow Crane Tower?
Thinking of this, Lu Sanjiao didn't hold his identity like Zhou Ji at all, but he made tentative words, and he walked more directly in front of the two.
Asked the question that all the Demi-Saints present wanted to ask.
"Who are you, and what are you doing when you come to the Holy Land this time?"
Haoma seemed to have expected this to happen, and the smile on his face did not diminish a bit, and he replied, "I am just a spectator, and as for this one, in fact, I have the same curiosity as you. ”
As he spoke, Haoma also shifted his gaze to the white-clothed young man who claimed to be from the Liao Kingdom.
Xun Chen looked at the deep meaning hidden behind Haoma's smile, and then looked at Lu Sanjiao's face on the verge of eruption, as well as the eyes of the other three half-saints, and finally let out a long sigh.
"Actually, I was very surprised that you could ask again at this time, in fact, the reason why I appeared here was because I received an invitation from the landlord. ”
Hearing this, Lu Sanjiao and Zhou Ji couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and seemed to be a little puzzled.
And Haoma, his expression has changed greatly!
Because he was the only one in the field, he understood the key words in Xunchen's words.
Landlord!
This is the Yellow Crane Tower, so the only one who can be called the owner of the building is naturally the guardian of the Yellow Crane Tower, the double saint of books and poems, Huang Tingjian.
However, it is one thing to be able to associate this section, but it is another thing to really use the word "landlord" to call Huang Tingjian.
Haoma knows very well that the people in the world who can know the title of Huang Tingjian's "landlord" will never exceed ten fingers!
Among them, of course, it is impossible to include Lu Sanjiao, the four demi-saints, so how did Xun Chen know?
So this time, without waiting for Lu Sanjiao to continue to speak, Haoma preemptively asked, "Do you know who I am?"
A wry smile appeared on Xunchen's face, and he reached out to gently soothe Guan Ju on his shoulder, and then nodded and said, "When I first saw an adult, I recognized it." ”
Haoma's eyes flashed, and it wasn't until this time that Xun Chen opened his mouth to admit that he finally recalled the scene when the two first met, and a seemingly insignificant thing that happened in it, at this moment, just confirmed Xun Chen's statement!
Thinking of this, Haoma's smile seemed to have a hint of self-deprecation in it, faintly, he seemed to have guessed the identity of the other party, but there was a very key point, which did not match his guess.
It is the age of Xunchen.
So Haoma asked a crucial question again: "So it seems that you have known the landlord for many years?"
Xunchen smiled, he didn't mean to deceive Haoma, and shook his head slightly: "I didn't recognize it, but the family teacher and the landlord have an old relationship." ”
At this point, the last trace of doubt in Haoma's heart was finally solved, but before he could sigh, he heard Xun Chen suddenly speak: "It's a surprise to be able to see adults here, but I still don't know something, I hope you can see it." ”
Haoma nodded, which was acceptable.
"I don't know if you're here today, are you going to make an exception?"
Hearing this, Haoma shook his head without hesitation and said, "Naturally not, I came here for other reasons, after all, before this, I didn't know who you were, let alone that you would appear here......"
Suddenly, Haoma's voice stopped, and the smile on his face paused slightly.
At the same time, Lu Sanjiao, who had been silent, finally lost the last patience and couldn't help but whisper: "You two little guys, what are you talking about!"
Haoma slowly turned his head, looked at Lu Sanjiao, and sighed lightly: "I'm afraid, you're in trouble." (To be continued......)
