46. Return 1
Breakfast was simple, still black rice porridge with some pickled vegetables and bacon cubes.
I thought I was going to spend another morning of my own practice, but I unexpectedly got the news when it was almost noon.
The person who came was not Tang Jueyin, but a young Tang disciple with an arrogant expression.
He suddenly appeared in Xia Ren's room, looking like he was very light, and you should be startled.
didn't know that Xia Ren cooperated with him in acting, and he acted very hard.
With such a big movement, do you think you are deaf?
The arrogant Tang Sect disciple was dressed in a green shirt, and the upper left corner of the green shirt was embroidered with red silk thread in the shape of a cloud, and the cloud swelled slightly, protruding slightly in five directions, like five fingers.
He coughed heavily and said, "You are Xia Ren, come with me." ”
Xia Ren responded lightly.
The arrogant Tang Sect disciple frowned, and said, "I am an elite disciple in the Tiangong Building Sect, my name is Tang Wuyi, you can call me Senior Brother Yi." ”
"After all, the test results have come down, you are indeed our Tang family, it doesn't matter if you call me like this, you don't have to be restrained. ”
A hint of strangeness flashed in Xia Ren's pupils, but he responded lightly: "Then there is Senior Brother Lao." ”
"Hmm. Tang Wuyi nodded with satisfaction.
One after the other, the two of them walked around the courtyard in the middle and through the long corridor.
At first, the cloister courtyard was empty.
The further back you walk, the more you will see groups of Tang Sect disciples practicing in the courtyard, either testing the operation function of the new hidden weapon of the attribute, or practicing their own hidden weapon techniques, or practicing light skills in the open space where obstacles are arrayed.
Seeing the two of them walking by, they didn't care, no one looked back at all, let alone say hello and the like.
During this period, some Tang disciples who came to meet and were familiar with Tang Wuyi would hug their fists, which was a simple etiquette. As for the handsome young man behind him, he was directly ignored.
At the end of the cloister was a large square, about the size of two football fields in the previous life, and in the center of the square stood a strange metal finger, which seemed to be made of black copper.
On the irregular texture of the fingerprints, it seems to be shiny and flowing, which is dazzling.
On the other side of the square are three paths that lead to three different places.
The two chose the path on the left and continued walking.
Xia Ren raised his head, he could already see clearly under the skylight, the huge wall shadow he saw when he first entered the Tang Gate, he could no longer hide it at this time, and revealed his true face to him.
Although it was still far away, under his keen five senses, the gray wall tens of meters high seemed to be close to him.
In the distance beyond the wall, it is said to be the Tang Gate: an unnamed back mountain.
"It's kind of interesting, is such a high wall to stop something, right?, or is it the Tang Gate, what is it planning?" Xia Ren narrowed his eyes slightly.
Just as he was thinking about it, Tang Wuyi said lightly: "It's here." ”
Xia Ren raised his head, and in front of him was a huge sky attic supported by seven or eight meter-high columns, and on the right side there was a spiral twisting log staircase, although it was only simply connected by several extremely long metal nails, but it was strangely unusually strong.
"Go up on your own. Tang Wuyi said.
Xia Ren hummed, stepped along the spiral wooden ladder, and climbed up step by step.
There are no handrails on the wooden ladder, and the further back you go, the narrower the staircase becomes.
The air is cold at a high place, and if you are not careful, you may fall down.
When Natsuhito reached the end of the log staircase, the metal door carved into the sky slowly opened, and a thick smell of metal greeted him.
He walked slowly, and in his eyes, the space in the attic was terrifyingly large, and in the center was a huge ancient tree growing out of nowhere.
The gaps between the towering trees and the thick branches are filled with all kinds of treehouses, and you can vaguely see the figures busy in each treehouse, sometimes flashing firelight, sometimes emitting colorful smoke, sometimes loud noises, and the smell of metal is also coming from these treehouses.
"It's like a laboratory-like environment, and the Tang Sect disciples in these Tiangong Building have a bit of the taste of scientists in their previous lives..."Xia Ren only found it quite interesting.
Suddenly, he saw a figure waving at him in the distance, with an impatient look.
He didn't stop much to bypass the towering tree.
The space behind the giant tree is empty, just an ordinary hall, with a bench at the end of which the host is seated, and a row of smaller wooden chairs on each side for the guests to sit with.
At this time, these chairs were not full of people, only a middle-aged man with raunchy dark circles sat on the main chair at the end, his head bowed, as if thinking about something.
Behind the middle-aged man stood two young disciples in green shirts, embroidered with five-fingered clouds, one of which was the one who had just beckoned to him.
The chairs on either side were empty, and only two gray-haired old men sat there, their lips twitching from time to time, and their eyes blinking a little, as if they were too old to see what was in front of them.
"Well, you are Tang Jing's son?" the middle-aged man raised his head suddenly, looking awakened.
"I..."
The middle-aged man suddenly spoke again: "Your grandfather's little old man is conducting an earth-shattering research and can't get out, so he let me come." ”
"I don't know..."
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything, just go through the motions, the Tang Sect will compensate you for the grievances you have suffered over the years." ”
"Xia family, it should be your thing, no one can take it away. When he said this, a trace of frightening coldness flashed in his eyes.
But Han Mang was only fleeting, he picked up a slender pen and brushed a large stroke on a piece of bamboo paper, as if he had signed.
Then, he handed the bamboo paper to a disciple behind him, and said with a perfunctory look: "Take it over and let the two elders of the Tang Sect sign it, and this ceremony will be over." ”
It seemed that he had taken some time to spare, he looked at the delicate young man in front of him with a smile, if he was not mistaken, this should be the first grandson of the little old man, right?
He danced with the slender pen in his hand and said: "This is the charcoal pen that we have just produced in Tiangonglou, which is made by calcining the black stone layer at high temperature and then adding a secret recipe. There is no need for ink stone inkstones, and fonts can be written naturally. ”
Xia Ren was a little speechless, and he didn't know what to say.
Isn't this just a pencil... What a smug...
Seeing that the delicate young man at the foot of the steps did not react, the middle-aged man was also a little bored, and said casually: "How far have you practiced martial arts in the Xia family, I'll take a look at the two tricks." ”
Xia Ren showed a strange look and said lightly: "This... Not really, right?"
The middle-aged man sat with his legs open and said casually: "What's so embarrassing? Young man, don't be shy, you have the courage to show yourself in public, and only then can you make progress if you know what you don't have." ”
