Standing by the White Lotus Pond, four people who have traveled thousands of miles together are about to be separated.
After catching the spirit fish, the spirit fish will point out the way to Jianzhou. Everyone will take a different journey and finally meet up in Jianzhou. The journey is difficult and everyone competes for the first place. This is a journey made by individuals by their own means, even if they are from the same sect.
They couldn't go together either, and it was time for the four of them to do other things.
"Then, see you at the meeting."
Che Sha said seriously: "Brother, we will come to see you at the meeting. Although you may be sitting at the front, we can only see your back. But we will always recognize you as our eldest brother..." Halfway through, she suddenly stopped talking.
He opened his mouth and hugged his fists. Wusuntong also bowed and left with his head lowered.
Looking at the hurried backs of the two people, Tang Zhao looked calm and said:
"They're laughing."
…
"Yeah, I'm laughing at you."
"Aren't you laughing at me?"
"hehe--"
Jiang Shenyi showed an "all-knowing" smile and said: "I put my turtle in the bag, so no one can see it from the outside. Your turtle shell is too big, so I can only hold it between my legs. Who do you think they are laughing at?"
Tang Zhao was holding a turtle the size of a washbasin under his arms. The turtle shrank its head and only exposed its shell, making it look like a turtle with a shrunken head. Indeed, the size of this turtle was too embarrassing. If it were smaller, it could be put in any bag.
Just pretend, if it's bigger, just put it on the ground, and you can sit on it and play the role of a turtle fairy or something. But whether it's big or small, it looks like a monster appearing when you hold it on your back.
A book is held like that.
In fact, the reason why some of his companions are funny is because the look of him holding a turtle is so different from his usual gentle and gentle temperament. If people who don't know him see it, it would be... okay?
Jiang Shenyi patted Tang Zhao and said: "Junior brother, don't worry, I think your guide is unusual. Maybe it's your runes that are well done and you get a hidden reward of gold scales or above? I think you look like a turtle.
Surprisingly, maybe it is an ancient mythical beast? For example, Xuanwu, Spinner Turtle or something like that."
Tang Zhao chuckled and said: "Senior brother, are these words of encouragement or self-encouragement? You and I are not the same race as the messengers? This is a better omen. You are the best. Isn't it stronger than Golden Scale? What a blessing."
The two exchanged yin and yang, and Jiang Shenyi said: "Before, we rode donkeys and raced to no avail. Why don't we compete this time? Let's see who has a higher evaluation after arriving in Jianzhou. The loser will be treated to food, lodging, and hospitality throughout the trip."
Tang Zhao naturally responded:
"Okay, high five as an oath?"
"High-five!"
After the two high-fived each other, they each held the turtle in their arms and said goodbye. Tang Zhao suddenly reacted, turned around and said angrily in the direction of Jiang Shenyi: "Senior brother, you didn't bring any money with you at all. You can give me a shit when you go back! Why don't you still eat me?"
"Ah, this classmate——" Someone called him from behind.
Tang Zhao looked back and saw that it was the scholar next to him just now. He couldn't help but blush slightly: This scholar caught a golden scale. The turtle he just caught with Senior Brother Jiang's golden scale is not as good as ours. It seems like he can't eat grapes.
Sour grapes.
The scholar looked solemn and said seriously: "Classmate, although I only met you by the pool, I know that you are a talented person. I just regret that time is short and we cannot have a close friendship. Let's meet in Jianzhou! Maybe in the world, you and I will still be together.
We can sit side by side."
Tang Zhao also responded sternly: "I'm borrowing my words from my brother. Now that I have golden scales, they are not something in the pond. I don't know what to call them."
"Qingqu Academy, Yue Shen."
"Zhuoyu Villa, Tang Zhao."
After leaving everyone, Tang Zhao came to Baicheng and rented a small house to chat with his guide spirit envoy.
Although the rules of the Jianzhou Road have spread throughout the city these days, Tang Zhao still has to listen to his own spiritual envoy.
Tang Zhao took out another talisman page and handed it to the turtle shell.
This is also a necessary step. It is necessary to feed another talisman page to prove that the previous talisman page was made by oneself, in order to truly awaken the spirit envoy.
Only the sound of exhalation was heard, and a grotesque head emerged from the turtle shell. It swallowed the talisman page in one gulp, chewed it up and showed an expression of enjoyment, and shouted loudly: "Haha, it's finally Turtle's turn to appear! You are me
The chosen Talisman Sword Master, I will be your guiding spirit! Follow Mr. Gui and embark on the road to Jianzhou together."
Although Tang Zhao had known that spirits were magical and saw the turtle opening his mouth with his own eyes, Tang Zhao still found it strange.
In this world, aliens cannot speak. Ferocious beasts are extremely powerful and can even use powerful magic, but their intelligence is extremely limited. Not to mention wild beasts, Senior Sister Xue’s owl is fed with special talismans and rare materials and elixirs, and is beginning to understand human nature.
, I can understand commands, but I am still far from being able to speak human words.
This turtle has clear articulation, and its voice is full of temperament... Is it a natural mutant, or has it been manipulated by some means?
Tang Zhao should be the latter. There are ninety-nine spirit fish in one lotus pond, and they are of various races. It can't be that so many aquatic tribes are born from the spirit race, right? Natural spirit species are too worthless.
As for the means, Tang Zhao immediately thought of Fu Puppet.
A powerful Talisman Sword Master can create spiritual puppets. For example, Axiao in Xue Xianyun's place has his own consciousness, although he often makes stupid mistakes. But even Axiao cannot speak, and it is difficult for him to imitate a parrot, let alone talk freely.
After all, apart from the human soul, there is no way in this world to give another possessed person true intelligence.
Even the fairy sister in his glasses lacks a little bit of foresight.
Tang Zhao stared at the turtle and thought, can it really speak human language, or can it record hundreds of sentences in advance and automatically select and play them according to the situation?
Although he was curious, Tang Zhao did not make a rash inspection. On the one hand, he would not be so rude to welcome the envoy to represent his host, Long Yuan. On the other hand, he must maintain respect for all intelligent beings.
It's just that this turtle's head is sharp and angular, and it really looks a bit like a bird. So maybe the prototype of this talisman is really a spinning turtle with a bird's head and a snake's tail?
It was so ugly that Tang Zhaosheng had the idea of putting it in the glasses pool to upgrade it.
Wugui looked sideways at him and said: "You Talisman Sword Master, why are you always looking at Mr. Turtle? Aren't you a little stupid? Come on, Mr. Turtle will give you a good thing." After saying that, he spit out a thick booklet.
"There are a thousand questions about the symbol."
Come, come, it’s the one who can kill a thousand swords!
The craziest thing circulating in Baicheng right now is the examination paper of the Thousand Questions of Talisman. All candidates who catch the spirit fish will receive this one. It is a thick examination paper. It is said that every question is so difficult that it makes people doubt their life.
Last night, Baicheng was filled with all kinds of sounds like howling ghosts and howling wolves.
Although Tang Zhao also made his own exercise book on the mountain, the feeling of compiling questions by himself is different from having a question bank thrown at someone else. Feeling the solid weight of the exercise book in his hand, Tang Zhao's face did not turn green.
"Do you want to complete a thousand questions in seven days?"
The turtle patiently comforted him and said: "How can it be seven days? Don't you still have to hurry? There is no seven days at all?"
"..."
Tang Zhao repeated: "In other words, I have to travel these seven days, answer questions, and finally rush to Jianzhou?"
Wugui said: "Of course it's more than that..."
Then, it spit out another scroll, which was a map.
"There are nine roads on the map. Each road has different lengths and priorities, and there is at least one checkpoint. You can choose any road to pass the checkpoints, answer questions, and rush on your way. You are guaranteed to enjoy a full and unforgettable journey.
.”
"Don't look at some roads that are clean and have only one or two levels, suitable for rushing. In fact, there are fewer levels and there are fewer opportunities. Although some levels are troublesome, after cracking them, you can get a lot of benefits. Maybe... dozens of questions and hundreds of questions
The answer to the question! For those with few levels, you won’t get any hints and can only do it behind closed doors, which will delay your results.”
Tang Zhao pondered: "The final seat is completely determined by test scores? There is no difference if you arrive early or late?"
Wugui said: "That's right. But there are advantages to arriving early. The sooner you arrive at Maze City, the sooner you can lurk and wait for other people to come."
The nine roads to Jianzhou do not cross each other, but in the end they all arrive at the same place - the Labyrinth City!
"There is a large formation in Maze City that leads directly to Jianzhou. It will be opened on the last day to take everyone to Jianzhou. Before that, everyone must stay in Maze City. It is a magical city. You can enjoy
Enjoy the fun of exploring this mysterious town, and you can also seize the time to exchange answers."
Tang Zhao was surprised: "Can we still exchange answers? Plagiarism is also allowed?"
Wu Gui said: "To put it bluntly, it means that you are allowed to plagiarize others. This is part of the rules. But there is a small restriction - if your answer to a certain question is plagiarized by others, the answer will be invalid."
"Wait a minute!" Tang Zhao suddenly reacted: "Someone copied my answer. He is fine, but my answer is invalid?! Is this reasonable?!"
The turtle said matter-of-factly: "Why is it unreasonable? Who told you to be copied by others? If you copy others, isn't there a problem?"
Tang Zhao was confused for a moment, then reacted for a while and said: "Doesn't this encourage everyone to not do the questions themselves and just wait for each other to plagiarize? It doesn't matter the level of Fu Shi attainments. If your martial arts is higher than others, it's enough if you can steal it?"
The turtle shook his head and said: "Not necessarily. We only have the last one or two days in Maze City. There are a thousand questions. Can you copy them all? Who should you copy? Even if you copy the answers, how can you ensure that they are correct? If you are a symbol
If you are not good at it, you won’t even know what to copy. Moreover, the setting in Maze City is very magical. In terms of martial arts alone, the weak may not be weak, and the strong may not be strong. If you have strong attainments in talismans, you can kill everyone in Maze City!
"
The turtle finally said: "There is also an ultimate talisman. If you try to hand in a blank paper, the guide can bring the talisman sword master to teleport into the formation. Your personal safety is safe, but all questions will be invalid and zero points will be recorded."
Tang Zhao understood that this was to tell plagiarists not to push people too hard. If you push people to death, they will die and they will go straight to Jianzhou and ask you to get nothing. It seems that Long Yuan still doesn't want people to die.
After all, the Fu Sword Masters who can come here, regardless of their level, are all disciples who are the top disciples of each family. In the future, they will at least be able to stand alone as Fu Sword Masters. They cut off the future of other families and forged a life-or-death feud for nothing.
Reputation is also bad.
"Young man, which way do you want to choose?"
Tang Zhao was silent and suddenly asked: "Since we have to answer questions and sort them, what's the use of the quality of the spiritual fish we catch?"
The turtle said: "Of course it works. If you catch me, you can choose nine paths. There is a lot of choice. If you catch a loach, you can only choose a random path."
Um……
It seems to be of no use? I don't know which way is better. I still rely on blindness.
Tang Zhao said: "The last question is, if I want to catch Golden Scale, how many paths can I choose?"
The turtle said proudly: "It's also Kujo. We are on the same level, no, in fact, I am better than Jinlin. It is beautiful, but it is a dead thing, and it is stupid. Lord Turtle is the best hidden surprise!
