C1 Shenji Workshop
The sun and moon had disappeared without a trace, and the sky was covered by a curtain of darkness. The plains and the sky were covered in a thick layer of dust, giving off a chilling aura. The wind was cold and merciless as it blew on his long hair. His long sleeves and sleeves were fluttering in the wind …
In front of him was a black ancient city, steep and lofty. At the top of the entrance was written three big mottled black words — — Nanjing City. The open city gate was pitch black, like the huge mouth of a demon king or the entrance to hell. It was quietly waiting, as if it was going to devour everything …
Dongfang Zhongyue's stern face didn't show any trace of emotion. After standing there silently for a long time, he gritted his teeth and walked towards the dilapidated wooden bridge over the moat. All of a sudden, the peaceful water started churning violently as one ghost after another emerged from the water. In just a short while, the entire moat was filled with them.
There were all sorts of ghosts. There were old ghosts around seventy or eighty years old, ghosts and female ghosts. All of them had withered bodies, hideous faces, some were missing an arm, some had lost half of their heads.
All the ghouls were climbing up, moaning and groaning, and pale-white claws were sticking out of the holes in the bridge, clawing and tearing at the air. Dongfang Zhongyue only hesitated for a moment before raising his head and taking large strides forward. The claw that held onto him had been forcefully cut off by him …
As they approached the bridge, teams of ghouls appeared out of thin air on the other side of the river, each with a pointed head and a gray face. Each of the ghouls held a steel knife and a steel fork, and they plunged the ghouls that had climbed up the bridge back into the river.
"A tall ghost head blocked the middle of the East, its face devoid of flesh, only a layer of pale skin. One eyeball was hanging on its cheekbone, and the eye was connected to a thin nerve, causing people to worry that the eyeball might fall to the ground at any moment." "Stop right there!" The ghost head raised the shiny steel blade to Dongfang Zhongyue's chest, "You are not allowed to enter the city!"
Dongfang Zhongyue's heart thumped wildly, but he still blocked the ghost head's steel blade, waving his hand and actually hitting his head off. As the head fell to the ground, the eyeballs finally separated from the body, staring at the East Central Healing, the head was still shouting on the bridge, "You are not allowed to enter!" "You're not allowed to enter the city …"
Dongfang Zhongyu kicked his head down into the river, and with a stomp of his foot, he glared at his eyeballs. Instantly, a light yellow liquid splashed out in all directions, scaring the other ghost guards into a daze.
From the east, Zhong Yue was full of courage as he strode towards the city gate. Suddenly, the group of ghost soldiers parted to the side, revealing the Ghost King, who was tall and dressed in a yellow robe. The Spirit King was mighty, his hands extended to grab him, and shouted: "Kill him!" The ghost soldiers on both sides brandished their steel sabers, waving their steel prongs and slashing and stabbing towards the east. The east was burning with anxiety, but was unable to break free from the Spirit King's control.
He realized that he was being stabbed by a steel knife and a steel fork, but he was not hurt. He laughed out loud and said to the Spirit King, "If you can't kill me today, I will definitely kill you in the future to get revenge!"
"Bastard!" I'll bite you to death? " The Ghost King grabbed his arm and opened his mouth, revealing four half-foot-long fangs that were all ready to bite onto Zhong Gu's head.
"Medium-Healing... "Mid Healing …!" Dongfang Zhongyue blankly opened his eyes. In front of him was a beautiful, pink-white face. Her eyebrows were like Dai Sheng's, her eyes were like the twinkling stars, her pointed nose was almost perfect, her red lips were full like blossoming peach blossoms, and her skin was white and tender as jade. She was even more beautiful than the Nine Heavens Dark Daughter.
Dongfang Zhong Yu panted and composed himself before calling out, "Elder Sister Zi Yu." Middle Healing, you have a nightmare again? " Zhao Ziyu retracted his worried gaze.
The scene in his dream was still fresh in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more Dongfang's body was wet, and his heart was still pounding with nervousness. The sky is already bright. Get up and prepare! " Zhao Ziyu patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, then turned around and walked out …
The most bustling place in Nanjing City was the Confucius Temple, and the most lively place in the temple was naturally the Cross Street. The most bustling place in Nanjing City was the Confucius Temple, and the most lively place in the Confucius Temple was naturally the Cross Street.
Furthermore, he definitely had reason to be seated. He definitely wouldn't be biased in the slightest. It was said that back then, the hidden Central Plains martial artist, Zhang Tianyi, admitted that his martial arts was extraordinary and was capable of squeezed into the top five in the current world. However, he was unable to find the top five Martial Arts Ranking of the Lingyan Pavilion and went to find the tenth rank Embroidered Uniform Guard, Pang Ying, to compete.
From then on, no one dared to doubt the reliability of the Smoke Rankings. Every day, there would be people who came to the Pavilion of Ascending Mist to watch the changes in the rankings.
Suddenly, the sound of a firecracker resounded through the sky, and smoke began to swirl around the northeast corner of the street. Out of curiosity, everyone surrounded them to investigate.
At some point, the old building at the corner of Northeast Street had been renovated. Red columns, white walls, and black tiles were all very impressive. The pillars and lintel on both sides of the door were covered with red silk. After the smoke cleared and Dongfang Zhong slowly walked out, he clasped his hands at the crowd and said, "Today is the opening day of our workshop, I hope everyone will come!"
With that said, he waved his hand, and someone took out a bamboo pole for him. He then removed the red silk on the left side of the bamboo pole. There were ten golden words written on the pillar: Never go out of your house, and know everything in the world. Instantly, the surrounding crowd emitted sounds of surprise. Wasn't that a bit too much? You know everything in the world without leaving your house? Was he even human? Then wouldn't he be a god?
Dongfang Zhongyue's cold eyes flashed with disdain. He turned around and took down the red silk curtain covering the pillar on his right side. On the pillar, there were also ten big words: Only talk about the present and the future. Without waiting for anyone to question him, he picked down the red silk over the door lintel. On the board, there were three golden words: "Divine Arm Workshop". Below the board, there were five characters: "Interrogate the World!"
The crowd went into an uproar as they asked about the affairs of the world? Didn't that mean that the Pavilion of Ascending Mist had been overshadowed?! What kind of person opened the Divine Artefact Workshop? Skunk clam sneeze sneeze, what a big tone ah!
Dongfang Zhongyue clasped his hands and said: "Fellow villagers, if you have any questions, feel free to ask! "However, please prepare the consultation fee, one hundred silver taels for each request." Everyone cried out in alarm when they heard this.
There were all sorts of people in the crowd, and there really was someone who wasn't short on money. Immediately, a grey-clothed youth entered the building to inquire about some matters. Suddenly, he heard a clamor behind him, and someone shouted, "Get out of the way!" The crowd looked back and saw more than a dozen big horses parked by the roadside. Three or four military officers were pushing their way through, and a general in silver armour strode to the door. "Haha …" Asking about everything in the world? What big words you have there! "
Dongfang Zhongyue coldly glanced at him, "You'll know if your tone is good or not after you try it!"
The mighty general who was around fifty years old glanced at him and asked with a smile, "Do you know who I am?" Dongfang Jingyue smiled lightly and said: "If you don't even know this, then how could I dare to call this the Divine Arm Workshop? "You must be the crown prince's Grand Preceptor, General Li Jinglong and Li, the Minister of State of Cao?"
"Kid, you really are quite reasonable." Li Jinglong said with a smile, "Then I'll ask you a few things …" I'm sorry, please wait, he's in first place. " Dongfang Zhongyue pointed at the grey robed youth, "Please come in and ask." With that, he turned around and walked into the building. The officer beside Li Jinglong was about to get angry, but he was stopped by Li Jinglong, "Let's wait and see."
The grey robed youth glanced at Li Jinglong before walking into the building. He took out two taels of silver and gave it to Dongfang Zhongyu, asking: "May I ask who you are?" The more Dongfang Zhong asked people to keep the silver, the more they replied, "My name is Dongfang Zhongyue, and I'm nineteen years old this year. I'm from Huai Nan."
"Oh." The youth in grey nodded, "I would like to ask …" Wait, "Dongfang Zhongyue stopped him," You've already asked. "Since the Japanese market is opening today, as the first customer, I have sent you two questions, and then you will be charged a different fee." "Huh?" The grey-clothed youth was stunned when he heard this.
At this moment, discussions could be heard from outside, someone shouted, "The Lingyan Pavilion's Young Noble Board has been updated, and the young master, Wang Zhenqing, has been pushed to the fifth place from the east!" Someone asked, "Yo! Drink!" Is the newly listed Dongfang Zhongyu the one from the tower …? " Dongfang Zhongyue glanced across the street and smiled.
At this moment, Li Jinglong walked in uninvited, and said to the grey-clothed youth: "You've asked, it's my turn to ask, right?" Dongfang Yue didn't stop Li Jinglong when he saw the grey-clothed youth leave. He extended his hand towards Li Jinglong. Li Jinglong gestured for his men to give him money and asked, "I want to know where I am next year."
Dongfang Zhongyue took the silver and handed it back. "The rules of this place are based on what happened before today." What kind of question is this? " Li Jinglong sneered, "You can't answer me, right?"
"Hehe, I know what you ate this morning, but I can tell you what you will eat a year from now." The more Dongfang Zhong talked, the more servants came out from behind the bead curtain to give him a piece of paper. Dongfang Zhong recited, "White porridge, three soup dumplings, two chicken legs, half a deer whip, two pine flowers, a few dried fruits …" General Li's appetite is not bad! "
Li Jinglong turned pale with shock, because that was what he had said earlier. He thought to himself: only his concubine serving him would know about these things. Who knows? Is this kid having an affair with my concubine? Impossible … Dongfang Zhongyue grinned and asked: "General Li, do you still doubt my ability?"
Li Jinglong rolled his eyes and suddenly laughed, "There's someone out there!" Someone, give him a thousand silver …. "Tell me, where am I next year today …?" I've already said it before, "Dongfang Zhongyue turned a blind eye to the pile of silver," Our shop's rules don't talk about future matters … "
"I have to say it even if I don't want to!" Li Jinglong flew into a rage, "I don't care about your bullshit rules! If you don't say it, I will tear down your Divine Arm Workshop! "
"Ha!" Dongfang Zhongyu laughed towards the sky, "You want to try?" Then, he walked straight to the hall and sat down.
"Someone!" Li Jinglong reached his hand out and pulled out a single knife from his waist, "Take it down …!" Before he finished his sentence, a blue shadow flashed out like a bolt of lightning from the curtain on the east side. Li Jinglong couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. When he turned around to look, he saw a tall man of about 30 years old standing in front of him. This man had two straight eyebrows, a pair of leopard eyes, and a thick beard. Li Jinglong asked in shock, "Who are you?
"Baili Qingcang!" Baili Qingcang held his blade in his left hand and used two fingers of his right hand to break a segment of the blade, "General Li, you are too domineering, aren't you? Why did you want to tear down my Heavenly Sword Workshop? " Breaking a steel knife with his fingers was just too shocking of a skill. Li Jinglong was dumbfounded, not knowing how to respond. Suddenly, he heard someone call out from outside: "The Lingyan Pavilion is changing Martial Arts Ranking again!"
