Xiao Shitou also ran out and looked at the "decapitated" stone lion in disbelief for a moment.
Lin Zhao frowned.
Around him, a group of adults comforted Lin Zhao.
"Lin Zhao, it's okay. This stone lion must have prevented the disaster for you. The stone lion is gone, but your disaster has also passed."
"Yes, yes, it's okay. Don't be sad."
"What a pity. Your father hired craftsmen to carve this for many days, and it's just gone."
"Lin Zhao, don't be sad. Come to Aunt Ma's house for breakfast in the morning. My family has made braised noodles with fennel this morning."
…
Lin Zhao thanked the elders in the backstreet one by one, but he still felt bad.
At this moment, a middle-aged soldier came out and said: "Lin Zhao, since the stone lion has been divided into two, your Lin family is not a famous mansion now, so it is useless to put it here. I
Let someone come over and drag away these two big stones to build a fortress on the front line, what do you think?"
Lin Zhao frowned, helpless: "Uncle Li, you can figure it out..."
"Okay, I'll call someone to pull the stone."
…
At this time, many people had gathered to watch the fun. Some people were holding bowls of noodles and eating noodles while laughing and talking to neighbors about stone lions. The folk customs in the town are simple and simple.
They talked about trivial things for a long time, but the fact that the stone lion was split into two was an even bigger deal.
Just in the crowd, a woman in green smiled slightly, turned and left.
However, when she just passed by the stone bridge, she saw a man wearing a gray and white scholar's shirt standing there. It was Qin Suihan, the owner of the bookstore.
"Hey, Mr. Qin!"
Zhao Yan smiled and was about to say hello, but Qin Suihan slowly took a step forward. Suddenly, all the stone bridges, trees, and houses around him disappeared. Only Zhao Yan and Qin Suihan stood in a chaotic world.
, For a moment, Zhao Yanru fell into the ice cave, and her heart was extremely cold. At this moment, she had fallen into a world that Qin Suihan had set up. I am a fish and a man, and I am a knife and a beast. This is what I am talking about.
As for the monks in the world, who can step out of a small world with one foot, which one is not a famous existence? Starting from the tenth realm of the galaxy, it cannot be lower. Whether it is the eighth realm of golden elixir or the ninth realm of Nascent Soul, there is no such thing.
He has great abilities, and what kind of realm is he, the middle-aged scholar with a kind smile in front of him, and who is he?
How capable can you be if you guard a big bookstore?
Zhao Yan thought so in her heart, but she didn't dare to think so, because at this moment, Qin Suihan could easily kill him if he wanted to.
"Mr. Qin..."
Zhao Yan's voice trembled slightly: "This is... why is this?"
"Why?"
Qin Suihan put his hands behind his back, with a rather stern look on his face, and said: "Zhao Yan, as a spiritual cultivator who has left the Snowy Tianchi, you should not have interfered with the matter of the Snowy Tianchi. Humph, one after another
In two days, there was a lightning talisman and a sword talisman. Do you, Zhao Yan, really think that you did it perfectly and that you were unaware of it?"
"I……"
Zhao Yan gritted her teeth: "Mr. Qin, what do you want?"
"How about it?"
Qin Suihan looked indifferent and said: "You ruined Lin Zhao's livelihood with a thunder talisman, and destroyed a chess piece that Lin Zhengxi left to protect his wife and children with a sword talisman. You really want to kill Lin Zhao? You Zhao family members
Are all people black-hearted? Zhao went into the mountains to kill Lin Zhao and was defeated. Lin Zhao only chopped off one of his arms but did not kill him. You Zhao family are still so aggressive. Do you really think that there is no one to protect this snowy Tianchi?
"
Under the other party's gaze, Zhao Yan could no longer hold on and fell to her knees with a plop: "Zhao Yan... Zhao Yan asks Mr. Qin for punishment. No matter what the price, I am willing to bear it."
"Can."
Qin Suihan stretched out his hand and flicked his sleeves, and a line of blood suddenly appeared between Zhao Yan's eyebrows, and her realm suddenly dropped from the sixth realm to the fifth realm.
For a moment, Zhao Yan looked pained: "Mr. Qin, is this really necessary? It's not easy for the Immortal family to ascend step by step... I, Zhao Yan, have suffered so much and endured so much humiliation in order to break through from the lower fifth realm to the middle fifth realm.
, Mr. Qin, just for a worthless ordinary boy like Lin Zhao, would you rather let Zhao Yan cut off his path to the immortal family? "
Qin Suihan couldn't help but sneered: "First of all, you are not an immortal. Secondly, Lin Zhao is by no means worthless. Get out of Tianchi Ridge immediately. If you do it again, I will show no mercy."
"In this case, Zhao Yan will go..."
Zhao Yan knelt down.
Qin Suihan turned around and left. The sky and the earth began to clear up. Stone bridges, trees, and houses appeared one after another in the mist, but Qin Suihan had disappeared. Neighbors in the back street saw Zhao Yan kneeling there with her sword in hand.
Very surprised.
"Isn't that the daughter of the Zhao family?"
"Yes, wasn't Zhao Yan taken away by an old immortal many years ago to learn Dharma and practice in the mountains? Now she is considered a half immortal, why is she suddenly kneeling here?"
"Is it Zhao Yan?"
For a moment, Zhao Yan's face was full of shame and anger. Without saying a word, she turned around and went down the mountain with her sword in hand, without even saying hello to Zhao Tai and Zhao Jin.
…
Afternoon.
Lin Zhao was fishing, and Xiao Shitou also carried a short bamboo pole and learned to fish with Lin Zhao. Today's harvest was good. Soon after, the fish caught with the V-shaped trap would be four or five kilograms, so
Lin Zhao put down his fishing rod and took Xiao Shitou to practice boxing on the bank of Baiyu River. The two of them set up boxing stakes together. Xiao Shitou studied extremely seriously and practiced methodically, and his movements were somewhat good.
Not long after, a group of people came from the south of the town. There were ten people in this group, eight men and two women. Among them, the woman walking in front held a staff inlaid with white gems and wore a white robe to outline an extremely graceful and charming figure.
Her figure, bright eyes and white teeth were extremely beautiful. The woman following her was wearing soft armor and carrying a long sword behind her, and she looked very heroic.
As for the few men, some were carrying long swords, some were riding war horses, and some were carrying long bows. None of them looked like fuel-efficient lamps. They all looked at Tianchi Town with novelty and excitement on their faces.
color.
"Finally we've reached the place."
A rather handsome man smiled slightly and said to the woman with a more outstanding appearance: "Xingchen, this is Tianchi Ridge, where the Tianchi Army is stationed. In the setting of "The World", this place was previously called the Snow Region.
Tianchi is said to be the place where the female fairy Mingyuechi ascended to heaven. In the Yueheng game more than a hundred years ago, this place was definitely a holy place."
The woman smiled faintly and said nothing.
A middle-aged warrior with a battle ax behind his back smiled and said: "Su Xinghe, you don't need to be so attentive, right? Along the way, you, the leader of the Galaxy Guild, ignored us, but you treated Shen
The stars are so hot, tsk tsk, do people care about you?"
Su Xinghe frowned: "This life is desolate, stop talking sarcastically. I heard that your Canglong Guild has been recruiting new people on the preset platform of "The World", hum... you are also determined to win. It seems that the battle for the best guild in the world is inevitable.
You have a place in the Canglong Guild."
"Tsk tsk..."
The heroic woman carrying a long sword smiled slightly: "Why don't we just stop fighting over each other? It's just an internal beta right now. There are only ten of us in the whole game. There's nothing to fight for. All the resources are there."
We can play however we want. As beta testers, our biggest advantage is to be the first to understand the game and explore the deep settings and monster settings."
"That's right."
Shen Xingchen smiled slightly, like a spring breeze opening an autumn pond, and said, "Just experience the feeling of closed beta."
…
In the distance, Lin Zhao, who was setting up a boxing stake, frowned. He seemed to be able to understand what the group of people were chatting about, but he seemed not to be able to understand it. When he carefully tried to understand what those people said about "internal testing" and "the world."
", "Guild" and other words, my head hurt a little, and at this time, this group of people were walking towards me.
"There are NPCs."
The man named Su Xinghe smiled and said, "I'll go over and find out the news."
He stepped forward, lightly cupped his fists, and said: "My name is Su Xinghe, I come from the Great Shang Dynasty in the south. There are ten of us in total, and we are known as the Ten People in the World. I would like to ask this little brother, what are the recent monster clans in the north?
Is there any movement from the demon clan?"
Lin Zhao frowned: "I haven't been to Beishan recently, so I don't know."
"Oh, let me ask you...are there teleportation points and inns here?"
Lin Zhao was even more confused: "I don't know what you are talking about..."
"never mind."
Shen Xingchen stepped forward, looked at Lin Zhao, and said with a smile: "Let's go directly into the town and see if there are any NPCs who can take the mission."
"Yep!"
The group of people passed by Lin Zhao.
Lin Zhao glanced back at the woman named Shen Xingchen. She spoke softly and beautifully, and she was good-looking. She was even prettier than Chen Yu, but... she didn't feel like a human being in the world. She was a fairy.
It's fluttery and a bit bad.
No matter what, keep practicing boxing.
Lin Zhao opened his boxing frame. As he continued to practice boxing, his boxing intention became more and more intense, his boxing principles became clearer and clearer, and his boxing skills became more and more fierce. He was making rapid progress every day.
As for Xiao Shitou on the side, he also learned to be disciplined. In fact, after a day or two of practicing boxing, Lin Zhao had already felt that Xiao Shitou's talent in boxing can only be regarded as average, even a little worse than himself, but the important thing is to be serious.
Once he practices boxing, Xiao Shitou will only have boxing skills in mind, and he will not be focused on anything else. This may not mean that he will not be able to become a great player in the future.
…
real world.
Sioux City, District S, treatment base.
Lin Zhao was still lying quietly in the game cabin. He in another world was practicing boxing tirelessly. Beside the game cabin, Murong Feiyue was sitting in a chair, holding a control panel, and slender fingers slid between
, a series of holographic images of game content appeared in front of her eyes, she frowned and said: "Have all the so-called 'ten people in the world' who participated in the internal beta entered the game?"
"Um!"
On the side, Ding Chi said: "They are all already in the game. Most of the maps are not open during the internal beta. The main open maps are the capital of the Shang Dynasty and Tianchi Ridge. If nothing else, these people should be in Tianchi Ridge."
I can see Lin Zhao."
"this……"
Murong Feiyue frowned: "Can you contact these beta testers? I want to know about Xiao Zhao's situation in the game through them."
"no."
Ding Chi shook his head: "The identities of the internal beta players are absolutely confidential. Unless they apply to the United Earth Government, they do not have the authority to inquire. Sister Feiyue, let's wait. We won't be in a hurry."
"Um."
Murong Feiyue nodded: "I'm going to take a nap, and you look at Xiao Zhao. It's my turn tomorrow."
"Okay, go to sleep."
Ding Chi sat down, looked at Lin Zhao in the game cabin, and said with a smug smile: "Ah Zhao, work hard, get more game bugs and confidential information, and we brothers will kill everyone as soon as we enter the game.
