Chapter 17: The Last Wish
In a flash of lightning, Xiang Ji was taken by Ai Lu to an ancient building. Xiang Ji, who was dizzy and slowed down, looked at it fixedly, alas, isn't this environmental pattern an ancient restaurant lobby?
Looking out from the lobby, I saw that the front door of the inn was open, and inside was the hall where people ate, which was where Xiang Ji and the others stood at this time. In the middle of the hall, a large wooden staircase leads directly to the second floor, where you can see several guest rooms. The lobby on the first floor is surrounded on all sides by a wooden corridor outside the rooms on the second floor, forming a patio-like pattern. The counter of the restaurant is in the innermost part of the lobby, and sundries such as abacus and ledgers are placed on it.
In the middle of the hall, there are several square tables and a number of stools, and the typical style of Yuelai chain inns in martial arts novels comes to the face. I don't know if it's because this pattern is too classic, Xiang Ji always feels familiar here, as if he has seen it somewhere.
At this time, there were already twenty people standing in the lobby. In the center, a long-haired man in a moon-white robe, about thirty years old, was looking at a piece of paper in his hand and pondering. Seeing that someone was coming here again, the man's eyes searched for Elu elf.
Eru nodded at the man, signaling that someone had brought it.
Seeing this, the man lifted the hem of his robe, sat on a stool in the middle of the hall and said aloud to the people around him: "Everyone is ready, then let's start, come, please take a seat." ”
"First of all, I would like to introduce me, my contemptible surname is Bai, the double name Zhantang, Bai is not talented, and now I am temporarily living as the chief director of the Chu Han Jiaoxiong crew, I will work with you in the next few days, and I ask you brothers to take care of me! You can call me Director Bai or Lao Bai. Bai Zhantang said and bowed his hand to the people around him.
"Hey, Bai Zhantang, Wulin Gaiden!"
"Thief Shengbai Zhantang, this is the protagonist of the plot!" Some people looked at the somewhat familiar environment around them, combined with the director's name, and immediately thought of something, and couldn't help but exclaim. Looking at some familiar furnishings around, isn't this the Tongfu Inn on TV?
"Friends in the rivers and lakes carry love, and it is just below. The man in costume replied with a smile.
"Song Cheng Performing Arts is so big!" Seeing the man admit his identity, everyone exclaimed in their hearts.
In this heaven and earth, the vast universe, the heavens and all the worlds, and the various cosmic planes are divided into three, six, nine, and so on, and the people inside are naturally no exception. Xiang Zhi, these low-level figures of the ordinary standard plane, occupied most of the main city, and most of the human beings in those high-level universes directly obtained the reincarnation qualification, and easily did not show up in the main city.
Among them, some of the relevant plot characters of the special plane are even more outstanding, with deep luck and great potential, and have always been managed as the core force of the main god, and they will never deal with such things as film shooting. So it's rare to see a plot character in the main city, let alone a plot protagonist. Although from the analysis of various materials, Wulin Gaiden should not be a very high-level plane, but the appearance of such a core plot character is still very rare.
"Zhao has admired the name of the thief for a long time, and he doesn't dare to take care of it, a plot character like you is a big man wherever he goes, and it is surprising that he is willing to condescend to be a director this time, as long as you can take care of all of us in this mission, I am already grateful. A middle-aged man in his forties in the crowd said to Bai Zhantang.
"Haha, you're polite! It's just a mixed meal under the hands of the main god, and it's not a big deal. The man in ancient costume replied with a kind smile.
"You are all here to participate in the punishment mission, and you will stay in Bai's inn today, and if you return triumphantly in a few days, you will also gather here. ”
"The reason why I'm here is because the punishment mission is a little different from the movie mission you usually do, so I need to inform you in advance. Come, first pass on this information to all brothers. Bai Zhantang said and raised his hand with a wave, and a ball of multicolored light flashed at his wrist, divided into more than twenty streamers and shot towards everyone.
"Most of the information given by the Lord God is in it, let's go down and study it slowly, and I will only talk about a few of the most important things now. "As soon as you come, you should already know that this mission is directly entered by your ontology, and it is the same as the way that the official reincarnation warrior performs the mission. Your physical body goes straight into the mission world, and if something goes wrong, the consequences are naturally much more troublesome than what you have encountered in the movies before. So, be careful with this mission. "Because of this, in this punishment mission, the Lord God will provide you with the same treatment as the official reincarnation. "Who of you has done the task of guiding newcomers?" Lao Bai suddenly changed his words and mentioned another thing. Seeing this, Xiang Ji and the other two hurriedly raised their hands. "Oh, that's good, the three of you should have understood that newcomers will receive some of the blessings of the formations arranged by the main god in the test ground during the test mission, which makes them more sensitive to the small fluctuations of their souls, which is conducive to the newcomers breaking through the standard soul level. Lao Bai explained slowly.
"This kind of formation used to provide blessings is called the Soul Summoning Array, in fact, the main god is equipped with this kind of magic circle on the watch of every official reincarnation warrior, but the effect is not as great as that in the newcomer testing ground, it can help the reincarnation warrior memorize and comprehend martial arts during the mission. This time you are on a mission, and the Lord God will also turn on this function on your watch, which is one of them. "The second is that everyone will be treated with an identity form during the mission, language support, and a cube of carry-on storage. So you don't have to worry about identity integration and language communication problems in the movie world. This equipment is also standard for reincarnation warriors when performing missions. "No wonder it's rare to hear of any official martial artist who has exchanged storage items, I see. When everyone present heard this, they suddenly realized. "Okay, we'll talk about that later, and now there's one more important thing to announce. You are all understanding, and I don't hide it. This mission is extremely dangerous, and it is very likely that all of you here will not be able to return, so you should be prepared. "So before the official mission, according to the resources allocated to us by the Lord God, the crew can fulfill each of you a wish, even if it is a compensation. Now if you still have any needs, you can put it forward, and Bai will try his best to meet it. "Yes! For the past two days, my brothers and I have been training hard to get a chance at life, and today we rushed over without even having enough to eat. So just give us a good meal of wine and food, and we will always be a full ghost before leaving. As soon as the words fell, I saw two big men who looked like dust and dust, and their faces were full of tiredness, and said to Lao Bai. "No problem, Cuihua, take these two guests to the private room for dinner, serve the best wine and food, two of you here, please!"
"Who else has a last wish?" Seeing the two of them away, Bai Zhantang turned to everyone and asked. "I don't have any other wishes, since I'm here, I'll naturally take care of what is going on. The following is to hope that before leaving, you can see the means of stealing the saint. The middle-aged man who spoke first then said. "When I was young, I was also very obsessed with martial arts novels, and I longed for those imaginary magic skills. I was obsessed with it all the way until I was selected into the city one day, and I was really happy at that time! I could finally achieve my dream!" the middle-aged man recalled with a look of nostalgia.
"It's a pity that after so many years in the main city, I saw that everyone was going to be finished, and when I was coming, I didn't even see a shadow of a miraculous mastery. To tell you the truth, how can this make me and others willing! I just want to see what the real martial arts, abilities, and powers are like. In this way, even if I really return to the underworld this time, I don't have any regrets. The middle-aged Lao Zhao said with emotion.
When the middle-aged man said this, Xiang Ji and other unlucky people were all related and deeply sympathetic. Yes, everyone said that they had traveled to a magical space and had the opportunity to learn martial arts and magic, but in fact, the life in the main city was actually not much different from the real life of everyone, they were just mediocre and worked all day long to survive. Who has really seen those martial arts skills? Who has personally experienced those legendary magical powers?" "No, Brother Zhao, haven't you ever done a guide mission? I heard that the guide armor you wore during the mission was very strong, no worse than some low-level abilities, how can you say that you haven't seen it?" said a man who seemed to know Lao Zhao. "It's different, you haven't done a mission, you don't know. Although the guide armor can also improve people's combat effectiveness, it is a foreign object after all, and the feeling of activating it is similar to that of possessing a movie character when we usually perform. It's like a person piloting a mech, but it's always separated by a shell, and it's not your direct experience. Lao Zhao explained the actual situation to everyone. "It's like flying in the sky, you fly directly in the sky with yourself on a plane, does this feel like you can be the same?" said the middle-aged Lao Zhao.
When everyone heard this, they all felt the same way, and they couldn't help but look at the Thief of the Holy White Exhibition Hall with longing. "Okay, since you brothers have a heart, Bai will go through a few tricks with you here. Bai Zhantang groaned and agreed. "Okay, but don't you want to change places, the space here is not easy to use, and it won't be good if you smash your table and chairs. Xiang Ji saw the tables, chairs and benches around everyone, and opened his mouth to persuade. "No! Someone Bai is sitting here, fighting the enemy empty-handed. Let's go up together, as long as you can get me out of this stool, even if I lose!" I saw Bai Zhantang laugh, and rejected this proposal with a heroic wave, signaling everyone to attack.
Xiang Ji and more than a dozen other people glanced at each other, and suddenly shouted in unison, each using their own means to attack Bai Zhantang.
The first person was the middle-aged man surnamed Zhao, and I saw him take off a pair of plum blossom silver hammers from behind his back, and slammed them down on the head of the thief saint with a loud shout! In the face of the heavy blow of the evil wind, the white jade soup noodles did not change color, and he waved his right hand towards the middle-aged man.
The speed of this blow did not seem to be fast, and they could see it clearly, but this seemingly not fast section had a very amazing effect. I saw that the thief saint's right hand slapped lightly on the handle of the sledgehammer attacked by the middle-aged man, and between the swing of his palm, the sledgehammer in Lao Zhao's hand was easily taken by Bai Zhantang, and the middle-aged man was as if he had suddenly suffered a heavy blow, and his forward figure suddenly stagnated, and then fell straight to the spot.
Placing the silver hammer he had snatched on the square table beside him, Bai Zhantang gently pulled on the four or five weapons that had come from all around, and saw that these weapons were deflected from the direction of attack as if they were attracted by magnets, and collided with each other. Their owners were also dragged along, and their bodies fell uncontrollably with the weapons in their hands, slamming into each other and never getting up again.
When the rabbit rose and fell, Xiang Ji and a small half of their living strength were easily knocked down, and in this process, Bai Zhantang only moved his right hand, his body was always as stable as Mount Tai sitting on the bench, and he didn't even move his feet.
It's too fast! Xiang Ji and they were shocked at each other, and if they continued like this, they were afraid that they would not even be able to touch the corners of their clothes, and they would be wiped out. The unwilling crowd paused for a moment, and then pounced on the thief saint who was sitting upright again.
This time they increased the number of besiegers, three on the upper and lower three roads, attacking at the same time from front to back, left and right. Another big man in the team who wielded the Thunder Hammer saw the opportunity, took off into the air, and used a move to suppress Mount Tai, and attacked Bai Zhantang from the air!
I saw that Bai Zhantang was still sitting still, and his hands, legs, and feet knocked the besieging people to the ground several times like lightning, and everyone's weapons fell to the ground. Just after sending away the besieging enemy, before he even had time to put his feet on the ground, the big man who made the hammer had already rained down from the sky and stormed over.
Bai Zhantang was still the old god, unhurried, I saw him sitting cross-legged on the stool, holding the sky with one palm and gently lifting it up, and the big man and the sledgehammer weighed two or three hundred catties and was easily lifted by him! This seems to be a thunderous blow, but in the end, it disappeared into invisibility without even making a sound, and the huge kinetic energy in the air just now disappeared as if it had never existed.
The sound of the big man landing on the ground woke up the sluggish crowd. "I'm rubbing! This is not scientific! The power of that brother's hammer just now is enough to kill a thousand pounds! The thief is fine, but the wooden stool under his ass is also a magic weapon, how can it be unscathed?!" A man who was sitting on the ground with his chest clutched cried out with a pale face.
Xiang Ji also felt that this scene really violated the laws of physics, comparable to the classic light skill of the left instep and the right instep in Jin Yong's book, but this was a fact that really happened in front of him, so Xiang Ji couldn't believe it. "Don't be surprised, brother, I'm not familiar with science. But let's talk about this kind of thing, it's commonplace in Bai's hometown, and everyone doesn't think there's anything wrong with it, so I can't explain to you what is unscientific. I can only tell you that as long as you are a martial artist who has cultivated internal strength, it is not difficult to do this. "How's that?, Bai Mou's little skill can still enter your eyes, right?" asked the thief saint Bai Yutang with a reserved smile. "It's amazing! Old Zhao, I'm convinced!" The middle-aged man surnamed Zhao, who was the first to fall, first stood up with his chest covered and said with admiration.
Xiang Ji picked up the steel knife that he had been knocked to the ground, and he also felt his heart agitated, and he admired the magical kung fu displayed by Bai Zhantang. Although it seems that the martial arts of the thief saint are not as earth-shattering and brilliant as the martial arts and abilities deduced in the novels and comics, it is obvious that this is definitely a supernatural skill beyond reality for everyone! Xiang Ji feels that he can see such superb kung fu today, and it is not in vain in this life. "Haha, you're satisfied. Well, it's almost noon now, if there is nothing else, then please eat and rest here, and in the evening, everyone will officially enter the Chuhan world to carry out the mission as planned, and you can also make some final preparations in the afternoon. Lao Bai stood up and said to everyone with a smile. "Okay, I'll wait and listen to Director Bai's arrangement. "Listen to all the thieves of yours. The admiring crowd stood up and replied.
In the afternoon of this day, Xiang Ji dined and rested with everyone who participated in the punishment mission. Soon the time came in the evening, and Xiang Ji understood that the moment to decide their fate was finally coming!
