Chapter 40: New Questions
Time passed little by little, and as soon as an hour arrived, Qiu Tong opened his eyes, saw Wang Lung preparing to get up, nodded with a smile and said: "As long as you can last a stick of incense, even if you pass the test of my young lady." ”
Wang Lung nodded and did not answer, only to see that with a wave of his hand, an invisible prohibition enveloped the entire room, and the other party was afraid of destroying the decoration of the room when they fought, so they protected many gold jewels in advance.
After arranging the ban, Qiu Tong took out a ruler-long black incense with his backhand, and flicked his fingers, only to see the black incense slowly drifting to the top of the center of the room, suspended between the two of them, but not lit.
After doing all this, Wang Lung didn't see Qiu Tong release his clone, he was puzzled in his heart, and asked, "Uncle Hitomi, where is your old clone?
Qiu Tong glanced at Wang Lung angrily, and said: "Stinky boy, the old man is not as shameless as you, it's not too late for the clone to be released, just now my young lady said, this incense is lit by you." ”
"Incense?" Wang Lung was stunned, could it be that Ao Qing had changed his mind, or was there something greasy in it?
Seeing that Wang Lung was puzzled, Qiu Tong snorted coldly and said: "Miss asked you to use your own strength to light incense, and you can't borrow the fire of the world, this is a new topic, as for the consequences of your failure, Miss didn't say it clearly, but you shouldn't take it lightly." ”
Wang Lung smiled bitterly, what kind of test is this, he actually let himself burn incense, he was really puzzled, and Ao Qing did not say that if he succeeded or failed, the outcome made him even more uneasy, no matter what, light the incense first, I don't know how to fail, but success is always no harm.
Thinking about Ao Qing's request, Wang Lung couldn't help but shake his head, not that it couldn't be done, but the other party's request was a little redundant. Even if he can use worldly fire, that is, the so-called match or lighter or something like that, Wang Lung doesn't have it on him, does Ao Qing want to test his ability to comprehend the law of fire?
It is true that he was recognized by the law of fire, but he only knows a little bit about the surface, and since he has comprehended the law of fire. I haven't had time for a deep understanding, and it is possible to use the law of fire to condense a small fireball, but the time is limited, and it can't last a few seconds, the incense is suspended in the air, and I must take off to light the incense. It's hard to light it all at once, and if you jump up many times, it's not difficult to light it, but I don't know if this incense is better.
Just as Wang Lung was thinking, Qiu Tong slowly spoke: "Miss just said, you only have three chances, if you break or point in the wrong position halfway, you will bear the consequences." ”
Wang Lung looked up. He looked at the pupil in a daze and asked, "What consequences are you responsible for?"
Qiu Tong chuckled and said, "The two of us will only be limited to this incense, if you break this incense by one-third." I'll fight you with the strength of the Great Perfection of the Foundation Building Period, if you point to the wrong position, from top to bottom, which position you point to, I will fight you with the strength of that position, understand?"
Wang Lung nodded stupidly and asked, "What if I accidentally click to the bottom?"
Hitomi smiled and said, "If that's the case." It's no wonder that others, or limited to this candle incense, in the process of fighting, my strength has always been in the early stage of the baby pill. ”
"Ah...... Ah......" Wang Lung asked with a sad face, "What if I don't light the incense?"
Qiu Tong's face showed displeasure, and he said angrily: "I can't even light the incense." What's the point of your life, it's better to die sooner. ”
Wang Lung didn't listen to Qiu Tong's scolding, facing the old monster who has lived for an unknown number of years, it is best to ask all kinds of possibilities, and when the time comes, the other party will turn his face and deny it, and he will not even have a chance to cry at that time.
Wang Lung smiled awkwardly and continued to ask, "Uncle Tong, did Senior Ao Qing tell you that if I lit this incense without any mistake, would there be any reward?"
"Reward? Huh...... , you kid don't think about any good things, just light a broken incense, even if you order a hundred, there is no reward, clearly tell you that success is not good, failure you look at it yourself. Hitomi said.
Listening to what the other party said, Wang Lung opened his mouth and couldn't answer, after thinking about it, it was indeed as the other party said, lighting incense is not killing, he asked too much.
Now that he had asked the questions clearly, Wang Lung stopped talking, lowered his head and began to ponder.
Ao Qing only gave three chances, with Wang Lung's ability to comprehend the law of fire, the small fireball condensed for only a few seconds, and he also had to vacate the space to light incense, the location of the black incense was quite special, just close to the beam above, as far as the eye could see, it was only three inches away from the roof, and the beam was covered with gold jewelry, and it was possible to grab it with strength, but now I am afraid that it will not work, and the pupil has already placed a ban, and it is difficult for him to break it.
But if you don't find a place to borrow, with your ability to stay in the air, I'm afraid that the three chances will not be enough, which makes Wang Lung distressed, and he can't think of a good way for a while, at this moment, the voice of the pupil came into his ears again.
"You only have half an hour, whether it is successful or not, it will be carried out according to the agreement, I hope you don't waste time. ”
Wang Lung sighed, ignoring the other party, half an hour is an hour, if you can figure out a way, you can ignite it soon, the key is how to ignite it, and you can't make a mistake.
Just when Wang Long's head was in pain, the passage behind Qiu Tong was connected to Ao Qing's residence, and there were three people facing each other in it, including a brother and two, who were frowning at this time, not knowing how to answer.
It turned out that a brother and two made an assertion and let Wang Lung climb over the wall of the reservoir alone, they hid in the reservoir, and only dared to climb over when Wang Lung walked away, they wanted to hide behind Wang Lung and avoid Boji, but they didn't expect that their little trick was seen by Ao Qing, and they were directly stunned and brought to him.
Wang Lung's words when he saw Qiu Tong, the two brothers were not clear, they were still in a coma at that time, Ao Qing paid attention to Wang Lung and Qiu Tong, and did not wake them up at first, and only woke them up when Wang Lung was meditating.
As soon as the two brothers woke up, they saw Ao Qing's face turned blue, and they couldn't help but feel bitter in their hearts, Ao Qing was silent, which really made them feel bottomless, didn't they know that Ao Qing was disappointed in them, but he couldn't take care of them, and was thinking about how to make another difficult problem to test Wang Long, so he had to put the two brothers aside.
After Ao Qing finished dealing with Wang Lung's affairs, he turned his head to look at the two brothers, and after a cold snort, the brothers trembled.
"I don't know what kind of eyesight Xiaotian has. actually put you two bastards into the sect, so cowardly and afraid, without responsibility, saying that you will go out, wouldn't it make others laugh and lose their big teeth, and even sent you to Wang Lung's side. I'm going to ask Xiaotian, who picked you up to join the sect?" Ao Qing scolded angrily.
The two brothers hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to apologize, the two of them had a hard time, they are usually not like this, the key is to face Ao Qing, although they have not met each other before, but the rumors of the sect do make them afraid.
made that plan, and also thought about it for a long time, Ao Qing as a senior of the sect. Everyone is out of the same family, the family does not speak two words, showing weakness in front of the elders, it is not a shame, I don't think there will be any blame, how do you know that now it is lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot.
In the face of Ao Qing's reprimand, the two brothers kowtowed like chickens pecking at broken rice, and wanted to explain. How to say the reason.
When I saw a brother, I just begged for mercy, and I had no backbone at all. Ao Qing was even more annoyed and said, "You came to Earth with a refinement mission, and if you act like this, you won't be able to do it here." ”
The two brothers were frightened, if they failed to go through the trial, although they would not die. But the second time at the same level will be more difficult, I don't have the confidence to complete it at all, and Wang Lung is with him, although it is just a companion, but when he encounters danger. They never frowned, and now they were filled with remorse because of the rumors that made his brothers make a wrong judgment.
Seeing that Ao Qing's expression was not good, I was afraid that it would be difficult to take back what he said, and it would take some time to judge the success or failure of the past refining, if he didn't explain, he was afraid that he would really fall into a place of no return.
"The seniors opened their faces, not because the disciples did it on purpose, but because they had to suffer. ”
"Huh?" Ao Qingxiu raised his eyebrows, and said angrily: "You think I'm blind and can't understand, you still want to quibble?"
"This ......" Kong frowned, he had already thought of his words, but he really didn't dare to speak, looked at his brother, and saw that the other party was also bitter, knowing that the other party was the same as what he thought, and if he didn't make it clear now, even if he didn't die now, his brothers wouldn't live long.
The two of them looked embarrassed, those are all rumors, although the credibility is a little biased, but it may not be groundless, and now for the sake of Xiao Ming, I don't care about revealing one or two, as for whether Ao Qing is angry after hearing it, it is nothing compared to Xiao Ming.
When he saw the air, he didn't dare to speak, and gritted his teeth in his heart and said: "Senior, what we said below is all hearsay, I hope that the seniors will not blame after hearing it." ”
"Oh......" Ao Qing looked stunned and continued to ask, "What do you want to say?"
swallowed sharply, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, raised his head and said: "Millions of years ago, all the seniors were sent to go out of the miracle space to guard the planets in various places, and at that time, the strength of the sect was greatly damaged, leaving only a few juniors to maintain the operation of the sect, even if the palace master tried to develop, he was powerless.
Hearing this, Ao Qing nodded, and said yes, the entire sect did dispatch a lot of people, remembering that there were only less than 100 people left in the sect at the beginning, and the cultivation was below the Yuan infant stage, but she knew all of this, and when she suddenly mentioned what was going on, although Ao Qing was suspicious in her heart, she did not stop it.
One continued: "As soon as the seniors left, the palace master integrated the sect, and only accepted more than a thousand newcomers within a million years, my brother's cultivation is not high, and the entry is only more than a hundred years, although the seniors have never met, but we have heard a lot of rumors about you. ”
Hearing this, Ao Qing couldn't help frowning, could it be that as soon as these high-level cultivators left, there were some unfavorable rumors in the sect, thinking of this, he scolded: "What have you all heard?"
At this time, the back of the placket was wet, listening to Ao Qing's question, he was busy telling the rhetoric and discernment in his heart, all of which were Ao Qing's rumors, talking about his character, how to make decisions, killing people without blinking, emotional entanglements, etc., summed up, that is, there are not many good words, and there are a basket of bad things, and Ao Qing will take one or two participants with her to the person who offends her, no matter who is responsible.
Wang Lung killed the mother emperor, although the persuasion of the two brothers was ineffective, but thinking of Ao Qing's punishment, they belonged to the participants, and their hearts naturally shuddered.
Since Ao Qing's angry shout, the two have been frightened, and they tried every means to evade Ao Qing's punishment, but they have no way to do it, and after Wang Lung entered the pyramid, they thought of using the old way to get out.
In fact, their divine sense had already seen the inside of the pyramid a rough time, and they had already seen clearly where the waterways under the pond were connected, and following Wang Lung was just pretending.
After listening to the explanation, Ao Qing was not angry or happy, his eyes were staring at the two of them, which made him extremely nervous, they made mistakes first, and now in order to escape responsibility, they exonerated themselves, and even put all kinds of rumors and discernment, this kind of thing is not comfortable for anyone, not to mention the rumors about Ao Qing, there are not many good things.
For a long time, Ao Qing looked up to the sky and smiled, and the two brothers looked at each other and didn't know how to deal with it.
After laughing, Ao Qing snorted coldly and said, "This is the reason why you are doing nonsense?"
He nodded and said: "The disciple does not dare to expire, my brother and I only have this once, it has never been like this, if it weren't for those rumors to mislead, even if the disciple was killed, he would not dare to do anything that would insult the sect." ”
Ao Qing nodded and said: "I have heard of the style of the two of you, it seems that I am really burdened by those rumors, just spare you this time, if there is a next time, the punishment will not be severe, have you ever remembered?"
Hearing that Ao Qing was not investigated, the two brothers breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and quickly kowtowed to thank them, but they didn't know that the good mood of the two did not last for a moment, and they were slapped on the ground by Ao Qing's words.
Ao Qing snorted coldly and said: "As the saying goes, capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes are unforgivable, even if you two have good reasons, you can't be completely at fault, so let's not embarrass you, Wang Lung's little guy will have to wait for a while to come in, you can go out and find two decent things for me, which can be regarded as atonement." ”
"Ah...... , what kind of thing?" The two brothers looked at each other, bitter in their hearts, and the rumors were indeed true. (To be continued......)
