Chapter 407: Public Defeat (2nd Update)

"Of course he didn't find it! If he found it, what would the Mu family do with the Great Wall today?" Gao Yishui wanted to pat Qin Ke's head, but seeing that Cai Yan was sleeping soundly on his back, he could only withdraw his hand in disdain.

He coughed a few times and continued: "However, this eternal ice was dug up at that time, and it is said that there are three pieces in total, and thousands of people were mobilized to work day and night, digging countless iron pickaxes ......."

Speaking of this, Gao Yishui couldn't help but sneer: "Oh yes, there is also an interesting allusion, saying that this cold ice is named Wangu, because the glacier of 10,000 miles blocked his 800,000 army from moving forward, and he failed to find the lair of the fierce beast, this cold ice is so difficult to dig, scolding 'stubborn', the accompanying old minister felt that this cold ice was also a treasure, so he simply took the homonym, called Wangu, anyway, the land of the far north, from the ancient Holy King has existed at that time, and it is reasonable to say that the ice of eternity is also reasonable." ”

"I see. Abu sighed, "It's just that the 800,000 army hasn't been able to wipe out the beasts, these things...... How did they survive and thrive in the bitter cold of the far north?"

"I don't know, and ...... I'm afraid that even the Ancient Saint King can't figure out where these beasts come from and what their purpose is. After all, before the Holy King ruled the world, there were no such fierce beasts in the north, and the Great Wall was not built. Gao Yishui stretched out his hand and scratched his ears, sighed and continued to walk forward.

Crossing the quietly flowing stream and walking across the small wooden bridge, Qin Ke couldn't help but touch the fluttering willow tree with his hand.

At a glance, he was surprised to find that these willow trees were real living creatures, but according to the season, the willow leaves at this time should have fallen off, but the leaves on this willow tree were still green as new, as if it was still spring in this underground palace.

A wisp of willow branches gently swept over Cai Yan's cheeks, and she slowly opened her sparse eyes, and there was another exclamation for a while.

"I thought he was a strange old man who liked to hide in the shadows and study institutions. Cai Yan's mouth snorted, "In this way, it seems that he is hiding here to retire, and if it were me, I would not want to leave such a good place and run out to take care of the mess of the public loser." ”

Probably because she had just taken a nap to recover some of her spirits, the natural restlessness in her bones began to be restless again, and she smiled and approached Qin Ke's ear: "Can you touch that piece of eternal ice......? Do you want to take it off as well?"

"What do you want it for?" Qin Ke said in a low voice, "I haven't gotten the compass yet......"

"Just know your compass!" Cai Yan slapped him on the shoulder, but didn't say anything more, but obediently lay on Qin Ke's back, blinking his eyes to see a quiet courtyard getting closer and closer to them.

As the wooden door of the small courtyard was gently pushed open by them, they finally met the rather mysterious public loser "Old Ancestor".

He sat in the dazzling light of the eternal ice, half of his body was shrouded in the light, but the wheelchair he sat in still showed a thick and simple atmosphere.

He was very old, except for his gray hair and slightly rickety back, and his body was as thin as a reed.

However, he himself didn't seem to care much, just sat there intently, one hand constantly carving something on the table, countless incomprehensible patterns and symbols almost made Qin Ke's mind dizzy.

Qin Ke stood behind him, hesitated for a moment and finally spoke: "Senior ......"

"If I'm not mistaken, you should call me Ancestor. The old man was still drawing on the paper on the table with one hand, and did not turn away in a hurry.

Although paper is still very expensive, it is just a common tool for him, and even when he is not satisfied, he will crumple the whole paper into a ball and throw it under the table at once.

Qin Ke lowered his head slightly, and found that there were already more than a dozen paper balls on the ground, so wouldn't he still be doing things all night?

"But...... If you don't want to call, I won't be reluctant, after all, you didn't come to lose Yinxue for the sake of the public. The words were calm as usual, but Qin Ke's heart jumped.

Qin Ke, Gao Yishui and the others glanced at each other, and they were also shocked for a while, they knew everything, but since this was the case, why did he sit idly by?

Gong Yi seemed to guess what they were thinking, and the corners of his mouth showed a slightly sarcastic smile: "I know, it doesn't mean that I need to care." It's like I just need to sit here and you'll come to me too. Besides, I'm just a crippled old man, where do I have so much strength to take care of everything?"

As he put down the pen in his hand and slowly lay down on the back of the wheelchair, Qin Ke was shocked to find that what was hidden in the sleeve of his left hand was not a normal person's hand, but an arm similar to a mechanical person.

So it seems...... Not only is he unable to walk, but he is even missing an arm?

Such a miserable-looking old man is the ancestor of the Gong Loser, the one who once stood in the Jishang Palace, supervised the construction of the Mojia Organ City, and served as the chief instructor of the Organ Technique?

Seeing this, Qin Ke couldn't help but feel a little more sympathetic in his heart, and at the same time saluted again with both hands: "Senior, it's a last resort for the juniors to disturb late at night, please forgive me." ”

The expression remained unchanged, nodded slightly, made a nasal "um" sound, and said: "Fortunately, the days of an old guy like me have been getting shorter and shorter, and it is becoming more and more difficult to even fall asleep, so it doesn't matter how noisy you are outside this night." ”

In the middle of the night, he sneaked into the underground palace, fought with the chess pieces, turned the entire stone formation upside down, and made the ruins outside the gate, this kind of behavior is obviously not just noisy and noisy.

Hearing what the public said like a loser, Qin Ke naturally said with some embarrassment: "We also have no choice but to make a mess of the senior's stone formation, we really can't help it, if the seniors need help, we will definitely try our best to ......."

"Help?" Hearing this, he seemed to have heard a joke in this world, but after a while, he glanced at Qin Ke deeply, and said with some meaning: "Maybe, there will be a chance." ”

The voice of the public loser was cold, with a bit of arrogance, just as he could see the cheeks in the shape of a skeleton, like a steep cliff, on which there were eagles nesting on the lonely ground: "That stone henge was originally a barrier used by the old man to prevent the juniors from disturbing me, and the people of the public losers back then wanted to ask the old man to teach the juniors something anyway." The old man was also annoyed, so he simply set up this rule, saying that whoever can break the stone henge will be able to become a disciple. ”

"But. "The old man has no intention of accepting apprentices, even if you are really for this rule, the old man will only let you live here for a few days and explore on your own." If you want the old man to teach something himself, you don't have to think about it. ”

Gao Yishui grinned and said, "The seniors have no intention of accepting apprentices, this is your wish, and we will naturally obey it." ”

"Good. Gong Yi squinted at him slightly, "In that case, you should want to take some benefits from the old man." ”

Gao Yishui said with a smile: "The seniors are like watching the fire, and their eyes are like torches, and the younger generations admire them." ”

However, Gong Yi didn't buy his account, just glanced at him coldly, and said: "Clever words, at first glance, you are a smuggler." ”

Gao Yishui was dumbfounded by this sentence, while Cai Yan covered his mouth behind Qin Ke and laughed lowly.

When she smiled, she turned her gaze away, and Qin Ke clearly saw a bit of appreciation in his eyes: "Little girl, what's your name?"

Cai Yan was slightly stunned, and she didn't expect such a problem to come like a public loss, but with her "pride", she was not afraid at all, and her voice was crisp and loud: "My name is Cai Yan." ”

"Cai Yan. He nodded slightly, "You're doing a great job." He was able to guess the rules of the chess game from the nine generals, and he could evolve such a chess game trend with the nine palaces and three threes. The old man hadn't seen such a smart person for a long time, and he couldn't imagine that he was still a woman. ”

Cai Yan straightened his chest and said proudly: "Little meaning." ”

He laughed softly, his gray beard trembling slightly, he didn't seem to have laughed like this in a long time, his voice could tell that he was very happy, but the expression on his face was still stiff.

"If the old man still has ten years, he may accept you as my closed disciple. It's a pity that the opportunity is not there, you and I are destined to be like this. As his hand touched the wheelchair lightly, he didn't know where he touched the mechanism, and suddenly spit out a drawer from the side of the wheelchair.

Gong Yi stretched out the prosthetic limb made of mechanical skills, but it was as agile as a real arm, and he took out something from it and handed it to Cai Yan.

"In that case, I'll give you a gadget. "The public said.

Cai Yan looked at the thing in his hand curiously, took it with some curiosity, played with it for a while, and said, "What is this?"

But before he could open his mouth, Qin Ke let out a slight exclamation: "This is ......"

Of course he knew it, because he had seen it before, and had played with it for a long time, but he had never figured out how it worked.

And now it's like a public loser, isn't it the metal ball that Chu Gou showed him at the beginning?

"Have you ever seen this thing?" said Qin Ke with a public loss.

"Yes...... This thing is said to be able to make people's qi and blood penetrate and step into the realm of cultivators?" Qin Ke's heart moved slightly, and the expression on his face became more and more shocked, "It turns out that it was the senior who gave Chu Gou that ball?"

"I don't know any pigs or dogs. But if you're saying who else I've given this thing these days, you're right. He said calmly, "But that thing is just an unfinished tatteck, that day...... The old man walked up the street of Jinzhou, and happened to see the kid holding a long-outdated practice book like a fool, while reciting words and practicing Tuna, but he didn't take two steps and hit the wall......"

Gong Yi suddenly sneered: "Heh, with his talent, plus that tattered book, I'm afraid he may not be able to achieve the cultivation realm in another ten years." It just so happened that the old man wanted to find someone to try this thing, so he simply chose him......"

Qin Ke was silent for a while, and he didn't expect such an answer.

Chu Gou stepped into the realm of a cultivator, originally estimated that it would take at least a few years, but with that metal ball, he broke through the barrier of qi and blood in one fell swoop and became a qi and blood cultivator.

Now, however, the public is saying that the metal ball is nothing more than an incomplete tatte......

I'm afraid that in this world, I don't know how many people would rather risk their lives to beg for such a tattered.

"What is this thing? It is so powerful, can make people break through qi and blood and step into the realm of cultivators?" Cai Yan was not so surprised, but curiously took the metal ball and looked around, but never saw anything unusual about this thing.
