Chapter 155: A little awkwardness
When Lan Bingmei refused Meng Yan's gift, the minds of the other three people present were just thinking that women were really troublesome, and if they couldn't do serious things, they would only make a little awkwardness, but Lan Bingmei shook her head and spoke with a straight face.
"You will definitely be a big man in the craft industry in the future, you should learn to make things scarce and expensive, rather than everyone around you has a share, so that everyone will take your things for granted, and if you have difficulties, you can't give them, but it will cause resentment, rather than let you start this one, I'd rather not have this thing." ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the three men changed, Meng Yan was especially embarrassed, Hu Qingtian and Liu Lang hurriedly expressed their position, saying that they were not short of weapons at present, so that Meng Yan did not have to rush to build new weapons for them.
"Brother, I have already taken the set you gave me, and my sister has another one, our family has already benefited enough from you, and if we collect more, we will be punished by God. Hu Qingtian grinned and said: "I believe in Senior Sister Lan's judgment, brother, you will be a big man in the future, instead of taking it now, it is better to ask for your work after the completion of your skills, hehe, don't be developed in the future, you won't recognize your brother." ”
"What are you talking about?" Meng Yan said: "Brothers, you will not forget your share in the future." ”
Liu Lang, who was next to him, smiled and said to Meng Yan: "Your luck is really good, it's easy to find those people who hold you high in order to ask for weapons, but it's very difficult to find someone who doesn't ask for benefits, just asks for your goodness, now that someone thinks about you, you are blessed." ”
Meng Yan also knew this, but was pointed out by Liu Lang. On the contrary, he felt embarrassed, Lan Bingmei also turned his head away, pretending not to hear, but Meng Yan looked at Lan Bingmei differently because of this, and was very happy that there was a woman who really thought about herself.
Lan Bingmei said: "Let's go to Fuliu City, there is still time for the auction, but this distance is not short, it takes time to run, and now we must be on the road." ”
"Wait. Meng Yan frowned and said, "It shouldn't be just the four of us, right?" There is also a little girl from the True Fire Sword Building. Isn't she also ......."
"Lie Chaoxia?" Lan Bingmei said: "When we went down the mountain just now, we did see her, we called her twice, and she ignored us. Just ran away. Looks...... I don't think I'm happy. ”
"Ran away, what about my harem...... Phew! I mean. Then what about the task entrusted by my master?" Meng Yan was also stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, he sighed: "Forget it. It's true that Master wants me to take care of people, but I haven't seen anyone since the beginning, so I can't take care of them, right? ”
Liu Lang said: "Is this good? If we leave directly, I'm afraid the head of the house will ......."
"It's not my turn to take care of it, right? If a person needs to be taken care of by others, he must look like he is being taken care of, and people disdain to walk with us, and we are chasing after other people's butts, why? People who don't know the situation still think it's our own mother!"
Meng Yan said: "Recently, I feel more and more that gentleness and thoughtfulness should be used on women who are worthy of gentleness and consideration, which is the advantage, otherwise if you are wrong to some women who are eager to find their own way to die, this is not only a shortcoming, but also a fatal shortcoming...... In the future, if my reputation is to spread in the rivers and lakes, I don't want to hear people say that I am a gentle and considerate person. ”
Although this is not good, it is reasonable, since this group of people is centered on Meng Yan, his words are the final judgment, and the three of them have no opinions, and they set off with him.
The place where the auction was held was Fuliu City, located underground, built on the side of an underground river, so it got the name of Fuliu, and the distance from Qianxue Peak was very far, even if there were no thousands of miles, there were seven or eight thousand li, it was indeed a long-distance trip, before Meng Yan left March Mountain, from the southern wilderness to the eastern soil, the distance was not as long as this trip, which also made him actually see how people travel long distances in this world.
Lan Bingmei said: "For long distances of more than 1,000 miles, basically the means of transportation are not very easy to use, whether it is a mobile warweapon or a war beast, unless it is a unique xenomorph that can control the laws of space and shrink the ground for thousands of miles, otherwise, long-range movement is time-consuming and energy-consuming, and it is easy to cause damage to warweapons and war beasts." ”
"I've read in the book that long-distance travel of thousands of miles mainly relies on teleportation arrays to jump, is that true?"
Meng Yan's question was answered by Liu Lang, "It's true, some big cities and mountains in the Eastern Soil will build a teleportation array on the earth's veins, and once the teleportation array starts, it will travel thousands of miles to thousands of miles in an instant...... My family does business, and goods are transported back and forth, so they need to use these teleportation arrays, and the general power of these teleportation arrays will collect taxes as their important income. ”
These are all the basic common sense of Dongtu, except for Hu Qingtian, the other three people all know the general situation, however, when it comes to personal experience, the three men are all blank, Meng Yan and Hu Qingtian cannot have the opportunity to use the teleportation array, although Liu Lang was born in a business, he studied and practiced martial arts at home on the way to growth, and occasionally went out to see a long time, and he was not far from home, and he had never experienced a long-distance jump of thousands of miles...... As a result, it was Lan Bingmei who had the experience of traveling far away.
"You guys are too bad, they all say that men are ambitious in all directions, you big men, your footsteps have never left the place of growth, and you have no vision at all, how can you still say that you want to do great things?"
Lan Bingmei's mockery made the three men a little embarrassed, thinking that they were dirt buns, but Lan Bingmei actually had a fever on her face, because she had only had experience in using a teleportation array when she visited another sect with her mother in the early years, and then she didn't have such an opportunity, and she couldn't afford such an expense, Qianxuefeng was not a rich sect, even if she was an elite, she didn't have much money to spend, and using a teleportation array was never cheap.
Hu Qingtian said: "Our Qianxue Peak is not a small faction, why do we have this teleportation array or something, we don't have it ourselves?
"Because of the money. Liu Lang said: "The strength of this faction is not weak, that refers to pure combat power, but if you want to talk about comprehensive strength, then it will not be, the strength of the gate faction is not only calculated combat power, but also includes connections and economic strength...... The teleportation array, from driving piles into the leylines, to grinding the bones and blood of the spirit beasts, and forming seals to open the formation, are all burning money, Qianxue Peak...... Even if the whole building is sold, it can't open a teleportation array. ”
The four of them talked about it, and they went all the way, and after two days, they arrived at the nearest teleportation point to Qianxue Peak, the Lingxi Ancient Sect, which is an ancient sect with a very long history, although it is far from the prosperity of the creation faction, but the teleportation array left by the ancestors has become their precious ancestral property, and just by collecting taxes from travelers, it is a lot of income.
Meng Yan and the others also used the teleportation array of the Lingxi Ancient Sect to get a glimpse of this mysterious technique for the first time, and they saw that on a hill, there was a large circle array with a diameter of 500 meters, and all kinds of runes were smeared with black and red pigments at the bottom.
"This formation...... It is to penetrate the entire technique into the leyline, connect the earth qi, and teleport out of the earth, thousands of miles in an instant. ”
With the assistance of Wu Chou, Meng Yan analyzed the entire teleportation array, and combined with the knowledge obtained from reading books before, he roughly understood the details of this thing.
"If there is enough energy to promote, and it is simply a point-to-point transmission between two points, then theoretically, the teleportation array will not only be instantaneous thousands of miles or thousands of miles, but it can be done for thousands of miles, but the reality is unlikely. ”
Meng Yan said: "First, there is no such powerful energy to support, and secondly, ...... Alas, a lot of people is annoying, I could have traveled to the end, but I was blocked by someone layer by layer, from here to Fuliu City, at least eight points, that is, eight toll stations...... Alas, what a repeat robbery. ”
The energy of the teleportation array is extremely expensive, and there is no real energy in this world that can send people thousands of miles at a time, therefore, after sending it to a certain distance, it is necessary to replenish the energy in order to continue to advance, and the earth qi in the leyline is enough, but on this way, at least eight sects have set up a teleportation array, cutting the earth qi into sections, like eight levels, if you don't get the permission of these sects, don't even think about going straight to the destination, if they intend to stop it, they can also intercept people halfway.
In fact, similar things have never happened in Dongtu, and the disputes or wars caused by this are really innumerable, and some sects have caused public outrage because they have done too many such things, and they have been captured by the coalition forces of various factions, and the entire sect has been wiped out along with the teleportation array, and it has been completely uprooted.
This kind of teleportation system has also caused a ridiculous situation, that is, if there is really any overlord who wants to dominate the eastern land, then, when he is not fully sure, he can't casually reveal this intention, otherwise when he uses the teleportation array to pass, he will definitely be ambushed halfway, otherwise, he can only walk honestly or use other slow means of transportation.
Meng Yan didn't have such troubles, but it was a pity that the money he was carrying had to be skinned continuously by these "toll stations" along the way, which was really painful.
"Alright, we don't have much time, let's go. ”
Meng Yan asked Lan Bingmei to pay the tax, and the four of them entered the teleportation array, a massive amount of jewel red light enveloped them, and the next moment, the four of them disappeared and teleported to Fuliu City. (To be continued......)
