Chapter 10: The Fan Family Proposes Marriage
In the midst of darkness, like an abyss.
It was like a huge valley and ravine, covered on all sides by thick rock formations, and it was dark, and the sun never shone on this hidden world.
It was extremely dark, cold, deadly, terrifying! There was no living creature to be seen.
Apart from......
A huge dragon that looked hundreds of feet tall from a distance. It has a hideous and murderous face, a body of sword scales, red and purple, tough and hard. On the top of its head was a huge black and purple horn, and the strange lines on the horn revealed a thick blood qi. Two durian-sized eyes, sharp and sharp, shoot out a creepy dark light. Its pitch-black skin was wrinkled, but every inch was so full and hard, and a pair of jet-black wings fanned slightly, as if they could envelop the whole world.
It's like an emperor in the dark!
It lay in front of a magnificent black palace, as if it were the guardian of this world, with a majestic and awe-inspiring look.
If people outside see it, they will be cold, and their souls will not possess their bodies. Even though it was a beast clan, the strongest of the demon clan did not dare to act recklessly in front of it.
It's called Extinguishing Candle, one of the four ancient fierce beasts in the Kuitian Realm!
In the main hall behind it.
The hall was completely dark, and there were 300 candles dancing with purple flames in the rather wide hall. In the innermost part of the main hall, there stood an imposing throne, the throne was pitch black, and the dragon pattern was coiled on it, and at this time, a black fog shadow was thickly shrouded in the throne.
The black mist shadow stood here, as if it was condescending and proud of the entire hall, and in the same way, it was also proud of the real Kui Heavenly Realm!
Then, he let out a dry voice and asked softly, "How is it?"
The voice fell, and a black-robed figure suddenly appeared fifty meters in front of the throne, he had already knelt on one knee on the ground, clenched his fists and said, "Master, I have already found Ji Luoguang, and I have also tested his cultivation." found that he had not made any progress over the years, and he was still at the peak of Emperor Kui, and he was never able to make a breakthrough. ”
"Heh, breakthrough? His heart would have died with that incident, and if he hadn't had a mission, he would have gone with her. However, it's okay to do this, if he doesn't die, then he will still be useful......" The dark shadow on the throne was mocking, and his tone was extremely harsh.
"Master, what should I do next?" the black-robed man groaned slightly, thought for a moment, and said slowly.
"No, I don't need to say it, you know better than me how to do it. The Black Shadow's indifference sounded fierce and vicious.
"Yes...... I understand. The black-robed man nodded slightly, as if remembering something.
"Behind, how to go, everything ...... Ha ha...... Hahaha......"
......
Gu Ze's face was at a loss, he didn't know what was going on today, how the huge Iku City couldn't see the shadow of many people today, and even most of the shops were closed and didn't open the door, which made Gu Ze even more confused.
"No matter, if those big shops don't open, then I'll cross the river and go to Vasa City to buy medicinal herbs. In desperation, Gu Ze also secretly planned, anyway, he had to buy medicinal materials, and if Iku City couldn't buy them, he was willing to cross the river and go to Vasa City to buy them.
He shook his head helplessly and continued to walk forward.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
Gu Ze walked on the wide and deserted street, his eyes scanned the surroundings from time to time, and suddenly a carriage that looked quite rich and magnificent hurriedly passed forward, and suddenly frightened Gu Ze.
Gu Ze gave way very lightly, glanced at the back seat of the carriage, the window of the back seat showed a human face, Gu Ze saw very clearly, it was the handsome face of a young man, he was vaguely familiar.
"It's him. Gu Ze thought for a moment, and then frowned slightly.
He is very familiar with this person, if he is not mistaken, that young man should be the second young master of the Fan family, one of the four major families of the Deka Empire, his position in the Fan family is very important, and many people think that he may be the next successor of the Fan family.
His name is Fan Changtian, twenty-eight years old, a seventh-order Kui star!
Gu Ze stared at the speeding carriage, and his heart turned, why did this guy come to Iku City from thousands of miles away?
Forget it, don't want to. Gu Ze shook his head, where is this guy coming and going, what does it matter to me?
Gu Ze continued to walk forward, he didn't want to care too much about other people's affairs, as long as he did his own things well, and now as long as he succeeded in advancing to Xuankui Master was his most direct goal.
"No, this speed is still too slow, you have to find a carriage, otherwise if you go on like this, you may not be able to reach the center of the city by noon." Gu Ze crossed his hands on his hips, and after a little muttering, he thought for a while, and then raised his hope again: "I remember, it seems that there is a carriage shop in front of me, see if there is a carriage supply, if not, you can only really walk over." ”
And without further ado, the carriage he remembered seemed to be not very far ahead, and Gu Ze immediately ran, and his speed was much faster.
Gu Ze ran all the way, and it didn't take long to arrive at this carriage shop, he looked up and saw the signboard of this carriage shop.
Liuxing carriage line.
Gu Ze immediately walked in and went directly to the shopkeeper of the carriage dealership. The interior of this carriage shop is relatively wide, and Gu Ze can see a lot of stables at a glance, but he does not hear any horse cries. Without much thought, he ran to one of the large stables.
When he stepped into the large house, he saw a young man asleep on his stomach at the counter next to the door. This young man looked very ordinary, wearing ordinary linen clothes, and was in a deep sleepiness at the moment.
Gu Ze walked to the counter and knocked lightly on the counter, and the counter made a soft knock sound. The young man seemed to hear this not very loud knocking sound, and immediately raised his head, he glanced at Gu Ze sleepily, and said lazily: "Is there something wrong with you?"
"I would like to rent a carriage. Gu Ze took out a bag of Kui coins and put it on the counter, and said.
"I'm sorry, but all the carriages have gone to receive guests today. The young man rubbed his eyes, glanced at the bag of coins on the counter, and said.
"Is there really none?" asked Guzawa.
"I didn't lie to you, today, the carriages in the whole city were rented by the Liu family to receive guests. The young man said angrily.
"Receiving guests, why do they need so many carriages to receive guests, there should be a lot of carriages in the whole city of Iku City, right?" Gu Ze was very curious, why did the Liu family need so many carriages to receive guests.
"At first glance, you are not from this city, today our Liu family's eldest lady Liu Qing was proposed, our Liu family master held a banquet, feasted the people of the city, and several nearby big families also came to congratulate. The young man glanced at Gu Ze and said.
"A few big families in the neighborhood can't use the carriage of the whole city to congratulate them, isn't this a bit too trivial?" Gu Ze said with a light smile.
"Hehe, it is said that the Fan family members of the four major families came to participate in the proposal, do you say that such an identity is worth so many carriages? And the Fan family also brought a lot of dowry gifts. The young man said.
"Could it be Fan Changtian? Unlikely? No wonder he came to Iku City from thousands of miles away, originally wanting to marry someone else's daughter. Gu Ze muttered in his heart.
"Okay, I've told you so much, don't disturb my sleep if it's okay. The young man said impatiently.
After saying that, he ignored Gu Ze and fell asleep on the counter again.
Gu Ze didn't ask any more, and reluctantly picked up the bag of Kui coins on the counter and walked out of the carriage shop directly. When I came to the street, it was still deserted. Helplessly, there is no carriage and can only rely on walking.
Continuing to walk forward, Guzawa's figure became the only figure on the street. He really didn't know how long it would take to get to the center of Iku City.
......
It was past noon, and Gu Ze slowly stepped into the center of the city. At the moment, the city center is a completely different picture from the rest of Iku City. It is crowded with people, and the shops on the street are covered with red and festive decorations. What shocked Gu Ze's heart the most was that the Liu family's banquet was actually placed on the street in the center of the city, which made Gu Ze at a loss, did the city lord of Iku City just let the Liu family do whatever he wanted? Even the banquet could be held directly on the street.
I can't imagine that this Liu family's power in this Iku City is so great?
Gu Ze shook his head, he felt that he was not thinking too much, he shouldn't think about other people's practices, and he just needed to do a good job of himself.
It's okay to care so much, I'm full of food and support.
Because the middle of the road was full of banquets, Gu Ze had to squeeze forward from the side. He was very helpless, it was really not very comfortable to squeeze around in such a crowded aisle.
The sidewalks are so impassable that they can't take a step for a long time, and almost all pedestrians are passively crowded. The more Gu Ze walked into the center of the city, the more congested it became, and there were too many people, as if he was about to suffocate in this sea of people.
He'd never been so crowded.
Gu Ze looked up and looked ahead, and there was a medicinal herb shop called Yakukaiso not far ahead. Although it is not far away, only a short dozen meters, it seems to be separated by several mountains in the crowded crowd, and it is not easy to easily cross these mountains.
"Alas, tired to death. Gu Ze let out a long sigh of relief, and he took a lot of effort to move from this sea of people to this medicine sea village little by little.
Guzawa stood at the door of the store, took a few deep breaths, and then stepped into the store.
At this moment, there were more than a dozen indifferent-looking guards standing in the wide store, they were wearing the same clothes, standing with the same straight posture, and the same expressions on their faces. In their eyes, they seemed to see a mirror that was as still as water, without the slightest emotional beat, and although they gave Gu Ze the feeling that was not as majestic as the Gu family's law enforcement guards, they were also stubborn between their eyebrows.
They exist to prevent some unscrupulous people from entering the store to steal during this chaotic crowd, because it is best to hide from people at this time, and stealing things is also unaware, and some big stores will hire some guards to watch over the store at this time.
Gu Ze walked to the counter, and an old man smiled at him: "This boy, what herbs do you need?" ”
"Sir, I need these herbs. Gu Ze took out a list from his body, on which were written several medicinal materials that Ji Luoguang needed, he handed the list to the old man, and also smiled slightly.
"Oh, of course there are these medicinal herbs, but they're just a bit expensive. The old man took the medicine list, squinted at it, and said.
"Great, money is not a problem, please take it out for the old gentleman, I have bought all these medicinal materials." Gu Ze smiled.
"Okay, Childe, wait a minute, the old man will come when he goes. Hearing this, the old man smiled again, the several medicinal materials that Gu Ze needed were not cheap at all on the market, and he was naturally very happy to be able to make a business.
After a while, the old man held a golden disc in his hand, and there were several medicinal materials on the disk, which were the medicinal materials that Gu Ze needed.
"Childe, do you need me to help you pack the medicinal herbs? The old man laughed.
"No need, old man, I'll do it myself. Gu Ze picked up each herb and put it into the ring between his fingers, one by one.
The old man glanced at the kui ring in Gu Ze's hand, and he knew that the young man who could bring the kui ring must be the son of a big family.
"How many dollars? Gu Ze put away the medicinal herbs and asked with a smile from the old man.
"I've already calculated, it's about 70,000 coins. The old man laughed.
"Seventy thousand...... Sir, do you have any paper and pen?" Gu Ze estimated that he now had more than 50,000 Kui coins in his hand, he didn't expect that so many medicinal herbs would be so expensive, it was really beyond his cognition.
But you can't afford it.
"Okay, I'll get it for you. The old man was stunned, he didn't know what Gu Ze needed paper and pen for, so he went directly to get the paper and pen without asking.
After a while, the old man took a piece of paper and pen from the counter and handed them to Gu Ze.
After Gu Ze took the pen and paper, he randomly drew a blade-shaped pattern on it, which was somewhat similar to the birthmark on Gu Ze's forehead, and then wrote the word "Gu Ze". He handed the paper to the old man, and took out a jade plaque from his body, on which was engraved with the word Ze: "Old gentleman, you take this paper and jade plaque to the ancient family of Vasa City to find the Gu Mu patriarch and ask for 100,000 kui coins, if they don't let you in, you can say that Gu Ze called you here." ”
