Chapter 56: The Test
Four months later, Wang Lung finally embarked on the journey back to Earth, which was somewhat surprising to Wang Lung and his brothers, who did not expect to stay on Gleth for more than half a year.
Sitting inside the aircraft, the three of them tasted wine and chatted, mainly because Wang Lung introduced the experience of the last four months, to be honest, these four months were very depressing for Wang Lung, but on the whole, the task was successfully completed.
At the beginning, Wang Lung went to the temple with Xue Yunshan, and the two brothers returned to outer space again to wait for nothing, thinking that this would only be a few days, but they never thought that in the next few days, Wang Lung would stay in the temple for four months, and it would be a boring four months.
Wang Lung's proposal was a huge discovery for Xue Yunshan, and if the hedron could really replace the original stone, it would be a perfect opportunity for the giant clan.
When Wang Lung arrived at the temple, Wang Lung found that the so-called temple was just an elder hall in a tribe, and the size and style were the same as the elder halls of other tribes, which made Wang Lung a little puzzled, why the temple was like this, after asking Xue Yunshan, Wang Lung knew that the so-called temple was the first elder hall established by the giant clan on the planet Gles.
This temple is more of a spiritual sustenance, and has no special meaning other than the elders of the various tribes discussing matters here.
After entering the temple, Wang Lung met the three elders who were resident in the temple, that is, the elders of the tribe where the temple was located, as soon as Xue Yunshan explained his intentions in the future, the three elders immediately understood the meaning and far-reaching significance, and immediately decided to summon all the tribal elders to discuss here, as for Wang Lung, they were naturally arranged by them to wait in the guard room.
When the elders of the various tribes gathered, and how to discuss, these Wang Lung did not know what to do. He stayed in the guard room for seven days, and during this time, he never left the guard room, except for meditating, just waiting for Xue Yunshan's summons.
When Xue Yunshan appeared in front of Wang Lung again, Wang Lung could see some haggard on the other side's face. Seven days without asking Wang Lung, those elders must have discussed some important decisions until now, and there is no time to take care of Wang Lung.
Returning to the temple with Xue Yunshan, this time Wang Lung met with the elders of the various tribes, except for some elders who could not come due to trivial matters, there were more than a hundred elders of the giant tribe gathered in the main hall, including Gula's father.
To Wang Lung, the temple was like a behemoth, but when there were more than a hundred giant elders sitting inside it. Wang Lung realized that this temple was a little small.
Under Xue Yunshan's recommendation, Wang Lung met with one of the elders, and judging from where the other party was sitting, this Elder Ma in Xue Yunshan's pass should be the head of everyone, or his cultivation far surpassed that of the other elders.
At first, Elder Nama was not in a hurry to ask Wang Lung about the spar, but was very interested in Wang Lung's origins. After talking to each other, Wang Lung learned something from the other party that he regarded as a secret.
A once-in-a-million year invasion. Miracle Space, Zhong Hui, etc., Elder Ma knows a little, but judging from some of the information revealed by the other party, it is not difficult for Wang Lung to distinguish the more than a hundred elders present. They all know some future variables, but they are only limited to knowing the Tao of Lu, and the details are not clear.
There are some things to say, and some things can't be said in full, about their own life experience. Wang Lung himself didn't know, there was nothing to say at all, as for the purpose of his coming to Gleth Star, he had mentioned it when he met Gula's father, it was nothing more than to complete the experience questions given to him by Zhong Hui, and there was no need to hide this.
After chatting for a while, Elder Ma finally got to the crux of the matter, in the past few days, according to what Wang Long said, the elders also tested the effect of the spar, although there were no changes to the prohibitions in the tribe, but some small prohibitions had been successful.
From Elder Ma's mouth, Wang Lung knew that the small prohibition that had been tested was several times more effective than the use of the original stone after using the spar, which made all the elders even more convinced of Wang Lung's guess.
Due to the different prohibitions, Elder Ma is not completely sure whether the spar can have the effect that Wang Lung said, after all, the successful test just now is just a small prohibition, and the prohibition to protect a tribe from the invasion of giant beasts is not so simple, unless a tribe guards the prohibition and tests it.
As the saying goes, there is no emotion in front of interests, hundreds of tribes have their own guardian prohibitions, take any tribe's ban to change, the risk can be imagined, success is not enough, the result of failure makes the elders dare not imagine, after all, changing a large-scale ban is not a matter of seven or eight days, not to mention that it will take more than 100 days to do it, then in this short period of time, if there is a problem with the ban, what if the giant beast attacks, no one dares to guarantee that the villagers will not be harmed, and, in case of failure, and then change the original ban back, it will take a while, this time period is too long, it is impossible to bear itγ
Everyone has concerns, and they don't want to test the fate of their tribe, which makes Elder Ma very embarrassed for a while, and he doesn't know how to make a choice.
The result of the final discussion was beyond Wang Lung's expectations, it turned out to be the construction of a new giant tribe, if the test was successful, then some people would be transferred from other tribes, and Elder Ma would personally sit in charge of the new tribe, until the new tribe had an elder promoted, and Elder Ma would retreat with his whole body.
Everyone knows that there is not much time left for them, and the once-in-a-million year invasion will come soon, even if Elder Ma himself is in charge, it is impossible for the new tribe to be promoted to the position of elder in a short period of time.
It is said that there are less than a hundred years left, and the laborious task of replacing the original stone with a spar should not be such a great effort, but let the elders let their people be slaughtered by foreign clansmen, they will not agree, even if they know that the effect of changing the prohibition of the Dao is minimal, but it is still better than no defense at all.
No matter what the future holds, these elders don't want to leave themselves with regrets, otherwise they will be riddled with demons, and it will be difficult to make progress in their cultivation in the future.
This time, I called Wang Lung over, which meant to inform Wang Lung that before the ban of the new tribe was completed, Wang Lung would continue to wait, and this time would take three months at the earliest. It also happens to be the longest time that Wang Lung can stay on Gles.
It is okay to wait, but Wang Lung has his own ideas, if the spar can completely replace the original stone, everything is easy to say, in case the test fails, his purpose of coming to Gless Star will be in vain. Bored for more than three months, doing nothing, only the first digging of a piece of rough stone in exchange for five catties of Bud buds, this did not mean anything to Wang Lung.
Without Volde, he couldn't complete the problem assigned by Zhong Hui, which was the biggest problem Wang Lung faced, but this problem was nothing to Elder Ma and the others.
Elder Ma promised that no matter whether he succeeded in the test or not, he would give Wang Lung a certain number of Voltaic Buds in return before he left Gles, and if he failed. The big deal is to use the original stone to stimulate the prohibition, but some small prohibitions can be changed to use the hedron to excite it, Wang Lung's suggestion has already given the giants hope, and this is enough for them.
Elder Ma's promise reassured Wang Lung a lot, at least he would not delay the purpose of this trip because of the problem of the spar.
Planning the creation of a new tribe and arranging the prohibition matter, Wang Lung couldn't interfere at all, for a person who was not a cultivator, the forbidden formation was a one. He had only heard some fur from the two brothers, and he didn't have any say at all. Elder Ma also knew that Wang Lung's cultivation was not high, so he was polite to him and did not let Wang Lung participate.
Waiting was boring, for more than three months, Wang Lung didn't go anywhere, just stayed in the guard's room next to the temple to cultivate, he had thought about taking advantage of these three months. Let's go to the mines and dig up some rough stones, but the idea is just a thought.
Replacing the original stone with a spar was an idea put forward by Wang Long, and Elder Ma had promised him in the early stage, no matter what happened in the future. will give him a certain number of voltaic buds in return, Wang Lung has no need to go to the mining area to toss again, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of everyone, and his lack of confidence in his own ideas will cause everyone's suspicion.
This kind of stupid thing, Wang Lung will not do it, in the guard room, in fact, it is also a kind of passive surveillance, Wang Lung will not go there, just stay honestly, waiting for the day when the ban is built.
Wang Lung's actions were seen by all the elders, and they were very satisfied with this, although Elder Ma and the others would not deliberately embarrass Wang Lung, but if Wang Lung made a childish move, it would also make Elder Ma and the others unhappy.
Time passed day by day, and the day Wang Lung left the guard room, the ban had been completed, and he followed Xue Yunshan to the new tribe, whether the changed ban could be successfully run, Wang Lung had to be present, after all, the guess was put forward by him, if there was any problem in the middle, he could also know where the crux of the problem was, and see if he could continue to improve.
The new tribe is very far away from the temple, and it is not too much to describe it as far from the north, just like the north and south poles of the earth, although the closer the new tribe is to the temple, the better, but there are already hundreds of tribes in the early stage, and the positions occupied have long been divided, and the new tribe can only choose to go farther away.
No matter how far away it is, it is nothing to Xue Yunshan, who has cultivated above the Yuan Infant Stage, not to mention that the area of Gleth Star is not too big, and after half a day, Wang Lung has already arrived.
Looking at the empty wilderness, Wang Lung showed a look of surprise, this place didn't look like a tribe no matter how it looked, except for a towering hall of elders, there were no other buildings at all, overgrown with weeds, and there was no trace of life.
For Wang Long's doubts, Xue Yunshan did not hide it, after all, it was a test test, if the test was successful, the villagers would be relocated to move in, and a large number of construction projects would be built, if it failed, there would be no need for the new tribe to exist.
Without any polite words, after Wang Lung arrived, he saw some of the tribal elders in the newly completed Hall of Elders, these elders knew some forbidden magic arrays, and most of the elders still had to sit in the tribe, so they did not come.
After Elder Ma gave the order, an elder slowly walked to the center of the main hall, sat cross-legged on the ground, his hands fluttered like butterflies wearing flowers, and soon, a small altar appeared in front of everyone.
The altar was full of esoteric runes, and there were nine demon beasts with different expressions carved around the altar, judging from their appearance alone, Wang Lung didn't even know any of these nine carvings.
After the spell was cast, the elder took out a stone box with his backhand, and with a finger pick, the lid of the box automatically flew away, revealing the fluorescent and flickering spars inside.
With a wave of his right hand, nine pieces of the spar in the box were grabbed by the elder in the palm of his hand, and then he raised his backhand to a carving, after a faint fluorescence, the nine spars were already inlaid in the grooves of the carving, and after the nine spars were installed, the elder's hand did not stop, brushed a few times, and all the spars in the box had fallen into the statue.
After doing all this, the elder looked up at Elder Ma in the distance, Elder Ma nodded slightly, the elder immediately withdrew his gaze, crossed his hands in a strange posture, and drank softly in his mouth, the two fingers of his right hand were on his left wrist, and the two fingers of his left hand were in a hurry to point at the void, only to see the glow flashing, and the nine statues seemed to come to life, shaking their heads and tails and looking up at the void above their heads, with a big mouth, and the nine dazzling light curtains instantly stimulated.
The ban was opened, and the hall of elders shook for a while, but fortunately, Wang Lung was prepared in advance, so he did not fall to the ground, and when the shaking was over, Wang Lung found that there was nothing unusual except for the nine statues that looked up at the sky.
Just when Wang Lung was surprised, Elder Ma had already stood up, staring at the void for a while before waving his hand to let everyone walk out of the Hall of Elders.
After walking out of the Hall of Elders, Wang Lung found that with the Hall of Elders as the center, a layer of light curtain visible to the naked eye covered all the areas within a radius of a hundred miles.
Success, this is Wang Lung's first impression, although I don't know how strong the light curtain defense is, but the ban has been successfully stimulated, at this moment, Wang Lung's heart can be put down for the most part.
Retracting his gaze, Wang Lung glanced at the crowd around him, and all the elders showed happy expressions on their faces, even Elder Ma, who was not smiling, showed a rare smile.
However, Elder Ma quickly made a new decision, although the ban was successfully stimulated, but what is its effect, it has to be tested before the final conclusion can be made, Elder Ma gave an order, and more than a dozen elders flew up at the same time and flew outside the ban.
Wang Lung knew that those elders who flew away would leave the forbidden range and use their magical powers on the periphery to test the defensive effect of the prohibition, and the prohibition was stimulated, whether the spar could replace the original stone to achieve the same defensive ability, even Wang Lung was looking forward to it.
