Chapter 160: Riots
It is clear that Dolma has made this humble three-story building his home. In the living room, she sat there in a big way, crossed Erlang's legs, and shook the little red leather shoes.
For Zhuoma, there is an indescribable strange feeling in Tianxian, this young girl, although she looks rude and willful, and even a little naΓ―ve, but in her, it seems to contain a sense of vicissitudes that makes people feel heavy and needs years of precipitation.
Words and deeds seem casual, but when you think about it, they don't seem to be messing around.
"Now, let me elaborate on it. β
Zhuoma's face was a little stricter, "I don't really have any interest in you, in the thousand-year history of mankind, there have been countless treasures that have been excavated, but not those who hold treasures can do anything, for you...... I'm not really optimistic, but I have to take the tasks that the old guys have given me seriously, do you understand? So if there's anything that makes me unhappy, huh...... I'm probably going to be very angry, so you'd better be obedient during my time here. β
Tianxian moved his eyebrows, and he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, no one invited you to come, you ran to the door by yourself, and you actually looked like you wanted others to be grateful to Dade.
But Tianxian didn't say anything, just looked at Zhuoma, ready to continue listening.
Dolma continued: "My task is simple, which is to supervise you and evaluate your potential, eh...... The old guys up there seem to have some kind of expectation of you, huh...... A group of unaccomplished guys who always pin their hopes on unrealistic things. β
Rather disdainfully wrinkled nose. Dolma stretched out his hand and pointed out the window, "See, it's a giant mountain left over from the Broken Era, the anchor on the top of the mountain is said to be a weapon left by a certain god, and the protection of the powerful energy barrier of this ancient city of thunder has been preserved to this day, since humans discovered this city, no one has ever come close to the top of the mountain." β
"No one?" Tian Xian was very surprised.
Dolma's face yearned, "Yes, there has never been anyone, hundreds of years ago this place rose from the ground in a big earthquake, and since then. Humanity has always longed for the powerful weapons that the gods left on the human continent over there. Pity...... Nearly a thousand years have passed, and countless magnificent figures in human history have come and gone, but no one has come close to this sacred mountain, let alone touched the powerful weapon of the gods. β
"Can't any means?"
Dolma smiled. "For so long. Countless heirs with great strength. Those imperial warlords with millions of troops, and even those ubiquitous tomb robbers, the heirs of the side who learned the art of Transfiguration with extraordinary perseverance. Too many people have tried everything that human ingenuity can come up with, alas...... There was no way to get close to the sacred mountain, all of them were blocked from the barrier of great power, and everyone could only look at this miracle as we did, sighing in vain. β
With a change of tone, Zhuoma became happy again, and said lightly: "As for you, what you have to do is to get as close as possible to this sacred mountain, and reach the limit distance you can reach in the shortest possible time, and I will witness your actions on the way, that's it! For this reason, I have obtained the permit for you, and some complicated passage procedures have been waived, and you can go straight forward!"
When Dolma said what he just said, Tianxian almost guessed that Dolma would say such a thing, and immediately rolled his eyes, "Why do I have to go! I'm not here for such a thing!"
Zhuoma was a little surprised, looked up and down a few times, and asked suspiciously, "You are not here for such a thing...... Then what are you doing here in the Thunder Ancient City? Come here without approaching the Sacred Mountain, and cultivate your own stigma in the process, what else can you do here?"
Tian Xian thought to himself that I don't even know if there is a stigmata now, which stigmata did I come here to cultivate?
"I ...... I want to see the most knowledgeable scholar here!I have some questions for him!" Tian Xian said.
"Huh?"
Dolma's beautiful face suddenly lengthened a lot, and she glared and said, "What do you want to see those old monsters?
Tianxian was slightly stunned, "Those old ...... Uh, I mean they're hard to talk to?"
"It's hard to talk...... Zhuoma looked at Tian Xian like a fool, and then pinched his forehead very weakly, "The gods are above, those guys are completely unable to communicate, the knowledgeable scholars you mentioned, I doubt that they can still be regarded as humans, they are studying the stigmata in the Thunder Ancient City, as far as I know...... The oldest of them is more than two hundred years old. β
"II...... More than 200 years old?" Tian Xian is a little sweaty, the average life expectancy of humans in the Elda Continent is not high, seventy years old is already an old birthday star, more than two hundred years old...... It seems that there is no such human existence at all.
"Yes...... Is it the reason for cultivating the stigma?"
"Who knows?" Dolma looked indifferent, "Anyway, I won't live to that terrifying age, and in the more than 1,000 years of human history, it seems that I haven't heard that cultivating stigmata can greatly extend lifespan, so it's hard to judge whether those guys are human or not." β
Pointing his finger at his chin, the little rascal-like Zhuoma thought about it with a very cute expression, and suddenly said with a smile: "But these are not a problem, if you want to see them, then you can only try to go deep into the Thunder Ancient City as I said before, and try to get as close to the Divine Mountain as possible, because those old guys are all in the inner city." β
"Inner city?" Tian Xian's heart moved.
Gu Li said that she was the big box of source crystals stolen from the inner city, and said that it was right under the noses of those old guys......
Zhuoma walked to the window, looked at the sacred mountain in the distance, and said leisurely: "Yes, our current place is called Yacheng, which is the outermost building of the real Thunder Ancient City, as for the outer city wall, it was only built later, the outer city is unexpected, inside the city wall, it has now become a tourist area, and it is a place for those tourists who are interested in visiting." β
Tianxian suddenly realized, no wonder he didn't encounter any obstacles when he was outside the city gate. It turned out that it was not within the scope of the Thunder Ancient City at all, and the crowds that diverted to both sides when they entered the city gate were actually here to play.
Zhuoma continued: "There are two large cities in the Tooth City, the outer city and the inner city, but the scale is smaller than here, because the people who can reach there are already very rare, and there are three large cities in the direction of the four gates of the Thunder Ancient City, and they are all about the same distance from the sacred mountain, no matter which way you go. The test of personal ability is actually pretty much the same. Well...... The South Gate may be a little more difficult, because the pioneers who built these three cities were stronger, and the positions of these three cities are relatively high, and the pressure to reach them is greater. β
Tianxian's heart warmed up. "That said. As soon as I get to the inner city. You'll be able to meet those scholars!"
Dolma burst out laughing, "My good brother, your idea is too simple. Let's not say if they will see you, and I just said that they are all in the inner city, but I didn't say that you can find them in the inner city!"
I was puzzled, and some didn't understand what Zhuoma meant.
Zhuoma raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes showed a bit of yearning, "The three cities outside the Thunder Ancient City are the cultivation places left by the pioneers for future generations, with these three cities as the center, there are many small temporary gathering places around them, and in the inner city, there is still a barren land that has not been cultivated, and the human race has not left any traces there, and the old guys I am talking about are in that area." β
"Do you want to go in again?" Tianxian frowned, "but since there are no human stations there, where am I going to find them?"
"Hahaha!" Dolma burst out laughing, "Good brother, what you said is easy, you better go to the inner city first, if you can't even reach the inner city, then those old guys won't see you at all." β
Tian Xian pouted, Gu Li's strength still knows a little, since she can steal such a large box of gems from the inner city and escape back safely, then she may not be able to do it, and there is nothing remarkable about this inner city.
Seeing that Tianxian seemed to be a little disapproving, Zhuoma shook his head and said: "I'm afraid you think it's not difficult, then I can tell you that in the Tooth City of the South Gate, there are about 100,000 Stigmata inheritors here, and in the inside, when they reach the outer city, there are only less than 10,000." β
Tianxian was slightly surprised, there were less than 10,000 people in the outer city! This elimination rate was as high as more than 90 percent!
"And in the inner city!" Dolma held out three fingers, "only three hundred!"
"Three hundred?" Tian Xian was really shocked this time.
"And it's four inner cities in four directions, all counted together!"
Tianxian's mouth opened wide, "Four Inner City ......"
"Yes, there are about 800,000 people in the Thunder Ancient City and some of the surrounding temporary stations, but there are only 300 people who enter the inner city through the outer city!"
Tian Xian didn't speak, just from the proportion of this number of people, it was enough to see the difficulty of reaching the inner city.
Zhuoma continued to emphasize: "Thunder Ancient City is a prestigious stigma cultivation place in the whole continent, all the inheritors who are likely to come here will come here, it can be said that most of the outstanding stigmata inheritors of the human continent have gathered here, but among the strong people who almost encompass the entire continent, only three hundred people have reached the inner city, good brother, I hope you can be one of them, then my sister admires you very much, you know, my sister only challenged it some time ago, but it's a pity...... You can't move after just a few steps out of the outer city, let alone enter the inner city, and you can't even get close. β
Tian Xian's heart was a little nervous, if this Zhuoma couldn't get close to the inner city, I was afraid that he would ...... She was completely superior to her own in strength.
Suddenly, a question mark flashed in Tianxian's heart.
How did Guli get to the inner city?
Judging from the strength she showed in the Silent Forest, she was probably still under this Zhuoma, she could actually go to the inner city to steal the treasure, and escape safely when she was pursued.
I'm afraid that's a bit weird.
Zhuoma frowned and thought about it when he saw Tianxian, thinking that Tianxian was carefully weighing his strength, and said with a smile: "Let's stay here for the time being, although those old guys are chasing more closely, but things must be done step by step, you have a good rest today, and tomorrow I will take you to familiarize yourself with some places in the Thunder Ancient City, as well as some rules." The day after tomorrow, you will officially start the trial, and I hope you can hold on for a little longer. β
After speaking, Zhuoma didn't wait for Tianxian to answer, turned around and left, "Prepare well, this is your last easy time." β
Walking to the door, Zhuoma suddenly stopped, and as if he remembered something, he turned back and said, "You have just come here, be careful in everything." Although it is quite safe here most of the time. However, there are also times when it is not peaceful, and there have been some accidents in the inner city in the past few days, and the guards in the city are nervous, so don't make trouble. It's going to be unlucky. β
Tianxian hurriedly asked, "Accident? What accident?" uh...... I mean. Is there any trouble in a place like the inner city?"
Dolma frowned slightly. He said with a serious expression: "This is not a strange thing, everyone who comes here has a strong desire in their hearts. Hoping to improve their strength, those guys in the inner city not only have strong ambitions, but also have strong strength, most of the time they are constrained by the considerable conditions here, but once the environment changes, when there is an opportunity to take advantage of, they will not let go of any opportunity to gain benefits. β
After hesitating for a moment, Zhuoma whispered: "As far as I know, it seems that the inner city has lost its treasures, the thief is a great guy, and he did things very cleanly, even if he was found and pursued, but in the end he couldn't determine the identity of the thief, you better be careful, the news that you have an evil eye has spread, and it is all nonsense to say that no one has hit your attention, but they don't have a chance." β
A cold sweat broke out behind the listening, and what Zhuoma said was obviously Guli!!
Seeing that Tianxian's face was a little pale, Zhuoma thought that Tianxian was young and would be somewhat worried about this matter, and said with a smile: "I'm just reminding you that it's still very safe here, and those guys will definitely not come to hit your attention if they don't have the determination to die in vain." β
Zhuoma's last few reminders were quite caring, and he nodded appreciatively, "Thank you for the reminder." β
"Then stay here honestly, don't wander around, I'll come to you tomorrow when I'm ready. Dolma waved his hand, turned and disappeared into the doorway.
"Remember to prepare more delicious food, tomorrow we have to eat first and then go out!" Dolma shouted from outside the gate.
Tian Xian: "............"
After sending Zhuoma away, Tianxian finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the "official" of the Thunder Ancient City did not find that the "troublemakers" in the inner city were lying upstairs.
Hurriedly came to his room, opened the door, and saw Gu Li sitting on the bed, looking at her calves with a sad face.
Seeing Tian Xian walking in, Gu Li suddenly seemed to have met a savior, grabbed Tian Xian, and said with an extremely serious expression: "Little ghost!
Tian Xian suddenly rolled his eyes, opened Gu Li's hand and said, "You troublemaker! The black smoke and miasma that are making trouble in the inner city, and now the entire Thunder Ancient City is arresting you, and you are still worried about whether your legs will leave scars! I'm afraid that in the near future, your head will be hung over the city gate!"
Gu Li shrugged her shoulders very sloppily, "Anyway, the thing has been done, what's the use of worrying?And I'm not very safe now? That is the official here just now, right? hehe...... I know she's a great character, and you sent her away! Thank you so much!"
Looking at Gu Li with a smile on her face, there is nothing she can do, this woman seems to be very optimistic about the current situation, and she doesn't care at all.
"It's great that your leg heals, it's impossible not to leave a scar. β
Gu Li's face suddenly cried, and she grabbed Tianxian's hand, her eyes were full of pity, "I said little ghost, ah no...... I mean, little brother, you see that I'm hurt like this, can't you think of a way to make up for my mental wounds? Please......"
Gu Li's eyes flashed with mist, and she looked at Tianxian pitifully, "Can you bear to see such an ugly scar on my leg as a beautiful woman like me?"
Tianxian sighed weakly, and gently opened Gu Li's again, "Come less...... You don't care about the scars on your body, why do you care about the legs? I'm only responsible for healing injuries, not skin beauty. β
Gu Li was a little resentful, stroked her beautiful legs, and said with infinite regret: "A woman's legs can hook a man's heart, little brother Tian, I'm afraid you don't understand it now......"
Tian Xian pouted secretly, this matter could not be clearer, it was clear that she had twelve narcissism about her legs......
Her expression slowly became strict, and Gu Li still asked, "Is it true that my legs can't be restored to their original appearance?"
Tianxian didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore, and replied directly: "It's unlikely, you also saw the wound." β
Gu Li's eyes suddenly dimmed, and her face showed a bit of loneliness and depression.
Tian Xian was very strange, and the injury on her leg seemed to be not just out of self-obsession, but faintly, as if there were some other things mixed in with it.
"I'll do my best to ......," Tian Xian added, "I haven't used the herbs here, and if I'm particularly lucky, I might be able to recover." β
"Really!?" Gu Li's eyes suddenly lit up.
"I can only say maybe!" Tian Xian shrugged his shoulders, "I'm going to prepare some tools to heal your injuries now, during this time, I hope you can think about it, tell me what you did in the inner city when the time comes, it's not a problem to cure you now, but if you want to leave here safely, I'm afraid it's already a little difficult!" (To be continued......)
