Chapter 8: The Dragon Slayer (4600, Second Shift, Asking for a Monthly Pass~)
- Good guy, what Su Yan said, when he arrives in the Shenmu World, he will be the one to entertain, it turns out that this is what he meant!
Shao Qiming on the side couldn't help but rub his temples - he said that Su Yan didn't have the money of this world, how could he entertain him, it turned out that he had made up his mind to eat the big acquaintances of this world from the beginning. Anyway, the guests invited because of him, rounding them up, it is equivalent to him having a treat, which is probably Su Sun's logic.
It is worthy of Su Day!
Of course, it was not this point that attracted his attention the most, but the entire 'Shenmu World' itself.
"It's interesting, it's a very interesting world."
Thinking of this, sitting on the chair, Shao Qiming couldn't help but thoughtfully activate his agent terminal and began to record information in it: "This is a 'true qi route' that is completely different from the earth's science and technology route, with true qi as the main power source. β
"The basis of this line is the national martial arts, the most basic power source of the whole society, is the people themselves, a person's cultivation, determines the level of his daily life - just like the previous true qi transport machine, the higher the true qi transport machine, the faster the speed, the more aura consumed, and the more popular it is. In the same way, I also noticed that there is no such thing as wires in the residential buildings of this world, which proves that even if the true gas casting furnace can generate electricity, there is no such thing as a large-scale generator, and the vast majority of people use their own spiritual energy to convert electricity for daily use. β
"Of course, that's just a one-sided experience, just from the large flying fortress I'm in now, it's enough to judge that the technology of the Shenmu World can make use of the spiritual veins on a large scale, maybe they have built a relevant spiritual energy storage station in the key spiritual vein area......"
In any case, another completely different technical route is a huge wealth, Shao Qiming knows very well that if he can get the relevant technical information back to the earth, he doesn't need to talk about the civic points he can earn, and the technological advantage brought to Zhengguo alone is definitely a leap.
"Moreover, all of this was created by Ah Yan - it is precisely because of his existence that this world will be like this."
Thinking of this, Shao Qiming looked at Su Yan and Zhou Buyi, who were still chatting, and he also smiled: "Perhaps, this is what he really wants to show off to me - this world where the entire people live and work in peace and contentment." β
"He wanted to prove to me that he could do such a thingβwhether it was another world or an earth."
At this time, Su Yan had almost communicated with Zhou Buyi to the end.
"I know the general situation."
Nodding seriously, Su Yan thoughtfully: "Grandmaster Weilie is indeed very old, and soon after defeating the Demon Dynasty, he died because he lost the motivation to survive. The same is true of the great master craftsman, who passed away contentedly after developing the second generation of the True Gas Casting Furnace. β
"For example, the monk Fang Hui stayed in the New World, and his life and death were unknown decades ago, and it is estimated that he has passed away, while Ms. Liu Xizhao died after being seriously injured more than ten years after fighting with the independents in Central Asia."
Zhou Buyi and Liu Xizhao were married a hundred years ago, pregnant with a son and two daughters, and now they can be regarded as branches, but after all, for more than a hundred years, even if it is their own direct bloodline, the relationship is also weak...... It wasn't until Zhou Buyi stepped down from the position of chairman of the alliance and became the director of the Demon Suppression Bureau that his descendants could live a normal life.
"Sometimes, I really feel that immortality is also a kind of pain, and the deeper it is involved with the mortal world, the stronger this pain will be - so, until now, I have also been promoting the martial arts of the whole people, so as not to let the gap between martial artists and ordinary people become more and more serious, even if the cost is that the crimes of martial artists are becoming more and more intense, even the Demon Suppression Bureau is a bit of a feeling of insufficient manpower."
When it comes to the life and death of the people around him, Zhou Buyi's feelings are far stronger than Su Day's, after all, the time they spent together was too short, although they were impressed, they did not precipitate too deep feelings - and Zhou Buyi and those people have fought side by side for decades or even hundreds of years.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Buyi looked at Su Yan, and he frowned slightly: "You don't seem to be very sad, don't you remember those people?" β
But soon, he himself was relieved: "That's right, after all, more than a hundred years have passed, we only need to remember you alone, and you may not be able to remember everyone." It would be unfair to insist that you are as impressed with them as I am. β
"No, I remember everyone."
In this regard, Su Yan lowered his eyes, and he even laughed: "It's just, do you want me to put on a sad expression?" Yes, I am saddened by their passing, but I prefer to be happy with the peaceful world they have created. β
"I think that sometimes, for those who have achieved their dreams, it is disrespectful to grieve for their deaths without permission, instead of admiring their dreams coming true and rejoicing in the realization of their ideals."
ββ¦β¦ Well, Master also said that the Alliance of Hundred Schools has been formed, and he will die without regrets, and we will never be allowed to play sad music at his funeral, and we will play a triumphal song...... His last words, I remember very well, their last words, I remember them all......"
The characteristic of the old man is that he is easy to recall, even if he has a younger appearance than back then, Zhou Buyi is indeed an old man. He was immersed in the memories of the past: "It's just that I was a little sorry for the last survivor...... At the end of the day, they can't see the peaceful world that I can see. β
At the end of the memory, Zhou Buyi raised his head and looked at Su Day, he smiled slightly, and seemed to be very pleased: "Fortunately, Su Shaoxia, you are still alive, then there is at least a second witness to the results of all our efforts." β
"So, is there anything I need help with? I don't have many things that I'm good at, but when it comes to subduing demons and eliminating demons, sweeping away evil and evil, that's my area of expertise. β
Su Yan asked calmly, his eyes flashed with inspiration, staring at the man in front of him: "You can tell me everything, since I am already here, then naturally I don't mind making a move-the wicked can't be killed." β
In the office, there was silence for a moment, and then Zhou Buyi slowly shook his head: "No." β
He said slowly, his tone firm: "Although the potential problems of the Tianzheng Alliance are big, they are still very stable...... And, if we can solve it, why do you need to do it? There are no more Demon Dynasty and Demon Emperor in this world. β
ββ¦β¦ Is it. β
Su Yan was silent for a while.
After a while, he continued: "Zhou Buyi, please do one thing. β
"What's the matter?" The man was a little confused, even a little alert.
"Take a picture with me."
The Shenmu World has not developed camera technology, because they have crystal images and mirror images, but the word group photo, as the name suggests, Zhou Buyi still understood it quickly, he touched his chin without a beard, and said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this?" What is there to ask for? β
Hearing Zhou Buyi's answer, Su Yan turned his head, he looked at Shao Qiming for a while, and then said, "Qiming, help me take a photo with him!" β
ββ¦β¦ What's going on, how did I get to another world, and this feeling that only I can't do it...... Could it be that you brought me here just to take pictures of other people? β
With such words in his mouth, although Shao Qiming complained, his movements were still very fast - he raised his wrist, and the agent personal terminal camera on it was aimed at Su Yan and Zhou Buyi, who were already standing together.
Click, after the photo was taken, the two stood at the desk with a smile, one heroic, the other majestic and handsome.
"It's almost time to go, I, the director, am busy, but in fact I am very idle, I have worked without vacation for so many years, and it is time to give myself a few days off......"
Then, just when Zhou Buyi was about to call someone to prepare an airship and take Su Sun and Shao Qiming to see the world, Su Sun stretched out his hand and stopped the other party.
"Su Shaoxia, you are ......"
Slightly stunned, Zhou Buyi was a little puzzled by Su Day's actions.
And the young man squinted his eyes silently, staring at each other, and in the blue and purple dragon pupils, there was a black and white firelight burning, which made the man stunned.
But it was all like a small hallucination, and the abrupt feeling was fleeting, and then it was gone. The flame of sinful karma flickered and did not ignite anything.
"I'll tell you a simple little story."
Taking back the black and white firelight, Su Sun's expression looked a little better, but his tone was still a little cold: "In the mountains, there is an evil dragon, which exploits the mountain people, devours lives, and does so much evil that the brave people of the world have gone to crusade against it." β
"Of course, the strength of the evil dragon is something that ordinary brave people can fight against? Most of the brave men have become the food of the dragon, and their weapons and treasures have become the property of the dragon, and for a while, the dragon even seems to want to rule the whole world. β
"But in the end, there is still the most powerful brave man who can compete with the evil dragon, he finally killed the evil dragon, pacified the troubled times, and became the last dragon slayer, as well as ......"
- Grows dragon scales.
Zhou Buyi was not stupid, hearing this, he had already heard the meaning of this sentence that was not said at the end.
- When exactly did you start to change? Zhou is not easy? Although Su Yan didn't say this, anyone could understand what he meant.
To this, the man first frowned, then took a few steps back and sighed.
"Su Shaoxia, I understand what you mean, there is no need to hint so tactfully."
In an instant, the entire office was filled with the momentum of the two powerhouses of the Commander Rank, if it weren't for sitting on the chair, Shao Qiming was even forced by the sudden spiritual pressure collision to take a few steps back. But even sitting in the chair, he frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.
And Zhou Buyi's tone became calm: "So, what exactly do you want to say, Su Day?" β
"It's nothing, and what I'm trying to say is very simple."
Dividing a little strength to protect Shao Qiming, Su Sun put his hands behind his back, he didn't have the slightest preparation and idea of fighting, he ignored Shao Qiming's hinted gestures on the side, and said directly: "I only have one question - Zhou Buyi, when did you start to specialize in the internal force of the wood system, and you also achieved the realm of Tiangang Martial God with this." β
For a moment, the entire office fell into complete silence.
But soon, with laughter, the silence was broken.
"When? Naturally, it was when he sensed that all the spiritual energy in this world had been infected by the Divine Tree, and the entire heaven and earth were about to turn into the Land of Heavenly Wood. β
With a chuckle, Zhou Buyi was also a loser, and he didn't put on a fighting posture.
Even now, the atmosphere in the entire office has become extremely solemn, but he is still not in a hurry: "It has long been that other great masters have not been able to break through the innate realm no matter what, so that they have been dragged down by secret injuries, and their internal organs cannot be converted, and when they die in pain, I have found that if I don't cultivate the internal force of the wood system in this world, it is impossible to go further, let alone continue to cultivate the realm of Tiangang." β
Favored by the three great masters, the heir of the hundred schools of thought, who thinks that the talent is enough to cultivate into a genius of the innate realm in the era of declining aura, he was originally scheduled to hold the blade of extinction to resist the martial artist of the innate demon emperor, Zhou Buyi's gaze seems to be able to see through the whole world: "Although the divine wood has been sealed by you, the changes in heaven and earth have been born, since the wood qi has been the main, I am just adapting to the changes in the rotation of the world." β
"But you're cultivating the Qi of the Divine Tree."
Standing opposite Zhou Buyi, Su Day's gaze swept over Zhou Buyi's whole body, and he said lightly: "This thing, the national teacher has it, the demon emperor has it, but in addition, even the strongest demon general has it on his body - it is the power exclusive to the divine wood." How did you get him? β
ββ¦β¦ Do you see it? β
In this regard, Zhou Buyi did not intend to hide it, he smiled, and this time the smile was more sincere than the smile that seemed to be a little worried before: "I just said, if it were you, it would be absolutely impossible not to see it." β
"When I first heard the news of your return, I thought, sure enough, you appeared, just as you said at the beginning...... For more than a hundred years, you have never appeared, and everyone thinks that you may not return to the human world, but sure enough, once you use the power of the Divine Tree, you will return. β
It's actually just a coincidence. But Su Yan didn't have the heart to make this kind of joke, he had been silent all the time, waiting for Zhou Buyi to take the initiative to confess, so he could only sigh: "To be honest, Zhou Buyi, cultivating the power of the Divine Wood is not a taboo thing, in fact, you can also see that this friend on my side also cultivates this department, and I also have it." β
"But why are you hiding it from me? Do you think that because you used the power of the Banyan Immortal Tree, I will kill you without saying a word? No, just looking at the fact that you also have the cultivation of the Tiangang Martial God Realm, it proves that you will never have this bit of courage. β
Regarding Su Day's inquiry, Zhou Buyi just squinted his eyes and didn't say a word.
Su Yan waited patiently for a long time, but he still couldn't wait for an explanation, and then he shook his head: "That's it." To be honest, Zhou Buyi, in fact, from the very beginning, Qiming has been using secret methods to contact me, asking me not to expose it so early, but to be reasonable and hypocritical with the snake, to see what medicine you have taken, and what the hole cards are, to figure out your real purpose and motives. β
"But I thought about it and thought it was better to forget it, after all, I wouldn't stay in this world for long, and I personally like to have something to say and ask directly. In this way, it can save me about a few days and ten days of exploration time. β
Su Sun never talks nonsense, he talks straightforwardly, asks if he has something, and has a direct showdown when he encounters a plot point, without any delay.
Do things first, then greet them.
Su Sun is very smart and learns from Su Day.
Faced with Su Yan's questioning without the slightest tactfulness and directly flipping the card, Zhou Buyi was silent for a moment, and then laughed helplessly: "Sure enough, Su Shaoxia, you have never changed." β
"Love food, jealous and hateful, enthusiastic to help others, heroic and direct...... On the contrary, I have changed, and in more than 100 years, I have not changed like a person from the original young me. β
"As for why he turned to cultivating wood qi and used the power of divine wood...... Do you need to ask why. β
Saying this, Zhou Buyi raised the hand behind him and showed it to Su Day.
It was a clean and slender hand, like a jade sculpture, and just by looking at it, one could appreciate the incomparably large vitality in it, and the almost indestructible solid essence. It was an extremely difficult physique for any flesh and blood, any human being, and it could even be said to be impossible to cultivate.
"I want not to die."
Withdrawing his hand, he put it behind him again, the man did not have any emotional fluctuations, almost emotionless, and said calmly: "That's all." β
