37. Ancient legends
Only then did Lin Ning understand that she was very satisfied with this spatial magic weapon, and immediately said, "Then let's say okay, 10,000 medium-grade spirit stones." Are you going to get it, or am I going to find someone to bring it to you?"
Bang Tong listened to Lin Ning's response, but he was startled, and looked at Lin Ning for a long time with the eyes of the wronged man, before he whispered: "It's not that expensive, I'm kidding, two thousand medium-grade spirit stones are enough......"
Gu Tuo next to him had been looking at the two of them with a lively expression, and he couldn't help laughing.
Lin Ning also smiled, and said briskly: "How can there be any one who pushes the spirit stone out, ten thousand medium-grade spirit stones, I should make you a friend." But ......"
She paused meaningfully, and looked at Bang Tong with the same narrow smile as before.
"You have to tell me, what is the meaning of "the only one in the Eastern Regions who can be surnamed Lin is the royal family". ”
When Bang Tong heard this, she was silent again, but this time she no longer rejected people thousands of miles away, but revealed a faint melancholy.
"My family was very prominent 50,000 years ago, when most of the spatial magic weapons in the Qingya Realm came from my family, and people would be full of respect when they mentioned us, and at that time we were called the Space Lin Family. ”
Later, the Lin royal family unified the Eastern Regions, and ordered that people with the surname Lin in the Eastern Regions must change their surnames, and no one can surname Lin except the Lin royal family. ”
"Although my family was prominent at that time, it was no match for the Lin royal family, and our ancestors were unwilling to change their surnames, so we became people without surnames. ”
"From now on, people in our family only have first names, no surnames. Although the Lin royal family has given a lot of compensation, it is still an out-and-out humiliation for the proud space Lin family. ”
Then the family went into decline, and it was no longer what it used to be. I am the last and only descendant of the family. Reduced to living only by selling crafts. ”
Bang Tong laughed to himself.
Lin Ning didn't know what to say.
Why did the Lin royal family order to deprive other people with the surname Lin 50,000 years ago? According to Lin Ning's understanding of the Lin royal family, this was obviously not only out of consideration for maintaining authority, but also for some deep-seated reason.
For the original author, much of this world is transparent to her. The only one who is completely unfamiliar is the Lin royal family, a family that is completely derived from the setting of her words.
However, the decline of the space Lin family was completely attributed to the seizure of the surname, Lin Ning still thought that Bang Tong was a bit extreme. Maybe she herself knows what the real reason is, but compared to the reasons that make her unable to even hate, it is easier to accept the reason on the head of the Lin royal family.
notified the painting screen and asked her to send someone to send 10,000 medium-grade spirit stones to Bang Tong's house tomorrow, and Lin Ning and Gu Tuo took their leave.
Coming out of Bang Tong's house, Gu Tuo exhaled a deep breath and said to Lin Ning: "Bang Tong's personality is like this, don't take it to heart, she is actually very good." ”
Lin Ning smiled and said, "I understand." But why didn't Bang Tong enter the Shangqing Gate? Her qualifications should not be bad, and she has the skills to make space magic weapons, so it shouldn't be difficult to enter the Shangqing Gate. ”
Gu Tuo shook his head. "Bang Tong is reluctant to enter the sect, and I don't know why. ”
Lin Ning was silent. She herself is unwilling, and others naturally can't force it.
He and Gu Tuo turned out of the settlement and returned to Rainbow Avenue, and Lin Ning and Gu Tuo no longer talked about Bang Tong.
In the next two days, Lin Ning practiced at the inn at night, and visited Taibai City with Gu Tuo during the day. They bought a lot of things sporadically, such as jade boxes to store freshly picked elixirs, spirit ropes to catch spirit beasts, and some emergency talismans.
In addition, in the past two days, in the process of following Gu Tuo in various ways, Lin Ning deeply felt that his pace was not worse than Gu Tuo. This is not entirely due to cultivation, most of it is because Gu Tuo has practiced special footwork.
Lin Ning also hurriedly made amends, and asked for a copy of "Heavens and Stars Footwork" from the Lin royal library. This footwork is arranged from the stars, and cultivating to a high level can attract the power of the stars, which is very powerful.
One day, when he was walking with Gu Tuo on the streets of Taibai City, Lin Ning looked up on the bustling street and looked at the phoenix flying slowly in the air and the glorious palace behind it.
She finally couldn't help but ask Gu Tuo.
"Gu Tuo, don't you think Taibai City is very special?"
She raised her hand to block out the dazzling sunlight and said, "I mean, the thick city wall with a special texture, the phoenix flying in the sky, the street made of rainbows, and the street market suspended in the sky...... It's not that I don't believe in the ability of Shangqingmen, but with Shangqingmen, I shouldn't be able to build such a city, right?"
Gu Tuo followed Lin Ning's gaze and looked at the phoenix in the sky, and said clearly: "Don't you know? According to research, Taibai City is a city in ancient times, and it has been in a state of abandonment since the period of the gods, until Taibai City established a sect here, and a new city was renovated and built. Now the area of Taibai City is only one-tenth of what it used to be, and there are still many ruins on the north and south sides that have not been sorted out. ”
"That'...... The phoenix?"
"That phoenix...... It has been carrying the palace and flying there, but no one can get close to it and the palace. For hundreds of thousands of years, people tried their best, but no one could touch the phoenix, let alone enter the palace. So over time, everyone got used to it, and it was regarded as a decoration of Taibai City, which was still very good-looking. ”
After listening to Gu Tuo's explanation, Lin Ning had a conjecture. She doesn't understand the rules of the world's logical self-consistency, but she knows herself.
Cities in antiquity......
In ancient times, the Qingya Realm was still the dojo of the four gods Dongfang Qinglong. Since then, in order to show respect for the green dragon, the gods have never occupied the green cliff realm on the bright side.
According to Lin Ning's habits, if you want to set the background for Taibai City, this city that obviously does not belong to this era, this is obviously beyond the power of this era, and the best explanation for it is the legacy of the Oriental Green Dragon. Or at least the legacy of this god's descendants.
However, if that is really the case, then I am still too far away from that heavenly palace now.
Lin Ning retracted his gaze and smiled to catch up with Gu Tuo's pace. The two of them have bought almost everything, and today they are completely hanging out in Taibai City.
"The sect is about to open the mountain gate, right?"
Lin Ning saw that there were many parents with their children coming and going on the street, and Sanxiu with apprentices, walking on the street with the expression of a standard tourist. It seems that the opening of Shangqing Gate has really attracted many people.
"Our Shangqing Gate opens the mountain gate every five years, and the disciples recruited are divided into two categories, one is children under the age of ten, and the other is with art investment teachers, regardless of age. In addition to the Taiyi Immortal Dao, a series of tests were also set up in the door. This opening of the mountain gate is a month later, almost exactly when we come back from the secret realm. If it weren't for Yu Ze's sudden serious injury, our time to go to the secret realm would not be so tight...... I'm also afraid of long nights and dreams, after all, it's a secret place that no one has explored, and if someone else finds out, we will lose a lot. ”
