"You are very good, even better than I expected!" The old man, whose whole body was made of machines and only his head was still flesh and blood, said to Cheng Peng and the others with a smile, "Although Xi Yan underestimates the enemy, but with such a
The power is actually able to beat him like that... This is the first time for you!"
After hearing his words, everyone couldn't help but look at Xi Yan, who was standing next to the old man with an embarrassed look on his face - there was a very clear black circle on the left eye of this powerful ancient immortal on his face.
It was punched head-on, and the one who accomplished this glorious achievement was not the three top masters Cheng Peng, Long Biao and Liu Xueji, nor was it Yun whose explosive power was superior to Cheng Peng and others in an instant.
Yu, but Xu Tu, who is recognized as the weakest among everyone!
At that time, Xi Yan had used extremely sophisticated magic to break the joint attack of Long Biao and Liu Xueji, used the art of clone shadow to get rid of the entangled Cheng Peng, and rushed into the six-star group to fight. Although he had
He doesn't kill people with mercy, but his strength at the peak of eight stars or even nine stars is enough for him to have enough power to knock down anyone even with a casual blow.
He just walked all the way, knocking down all the enemies in his way with a single blow, and almost wiped out all the six-star group.
And when he faced Xu Tu, Xu Tu, who was supposed to have no power to fight back, showed off a special prop, which made Xi Yan's expression change drastically.
It was a brown bamboo slip.
And the way Xu Tu used this bamboo slip made Xi Yan stunned and confused.
Because he clearly saw that a circle of cloud-patterned immortal seal appeared around Xu Tu's bamboo slips, which was exactly the same as the one he used!
With the appearance of these cloud-patterned immortal seals, an ape wearing black armor appeared in front of Xu Tu. This ape was extremely ferocious. Before it could be completely condensed, it swung an iron rod and smashed Xi Yan on the head.
Of course, Xi Yan could not be injured by this blow. Although he was surprised, the protective magic was immediately activated. Not only did he block the blow, but he also took advantage of the opportunity to counterattack, blasting the ape into a starry sky and disappearing.
Without a trace.
But at this moment, Xu Tu had already rushed over, holding the bamboo slip in his hand, and punched him in the face!
Xi Yan's protective spell was naturally impossible to damage this kind of bamboo slip, so Xu Tu easily broke through the defense and hit his left eye with a solid fist, creating a beautiful panda eye.
After such a beating, even though Xi Yan had not fully recognized the strength of Cheng Peng and others, he was too embarrassed to continue the test, so the battle came to an end.
But for everyone, they were more concerned about the origin of Xu Tu's bamboo slip than the outcome of the battle!
Anyone who knows something about the Xuanyuan Sword series knows that in the Xuanyuan Sword series, the shape of the "Book of Heaven" is none other than a bamboo slip!
Not only that, Xu Tu's brown bamboo slip is exactly the same in appearance as the gray bamboo slip that everyone uses as a token of the mission, but there is an elegant spiritual energy flowing on it, which is obviously much higher than the gray bamboo slip.
The gray bamboo slip is just a mission prop given by Zhang Liang's phantom. Its essence is not the Heavenly Book, but a low-level magic weapon. But the bamboo slips of Xu Tu... I'm afraid they are just scattered fragments of the Heavenly Book...
Everyone here lacks knowledge and naturally understands that with the appearance of this bamboo slip, Xu Tu's status in the hearts of Xi Yan and his teacher will immediately rise sharply, and I am afraid that he can already be promoted to the level of "quasi-heir", and
The chances of the rest of the people getting the inheritance of the Heavenly Book were greatly reduced, and they were reduced to the role of "accompanying the prince to study".
But to be honest, there is nothing wrong with such a result - when Zhang Liang originally issued the mission, he did not guarantee that someone would get the inheritance of the Heavenly Book. Even if everyone is eliminated, it is not impossible that no one can get the Heavenly Book.
So compared to the elimination of everyone, if Xu Tu gets the inheritance of the Book of Heaven, everyone can at least ask him for help in the future, which is better than having to ask NPC for help.
"The old man with a human head and a mechanical body is the Immortal in the Pot. He is Chi Songzi, the rain master of Chiyou in ancient times. His true body is a giant dragon. He was appointed by Nuwa to manage the demon refining pot... There are too many specific things, and it is too late now.
Let’s talk about them one by one. In short, everyone should remember that this guy is a stubborn and arrogant person. He appreciates smart and brave people. Even if the other person’s position is different from his own, he will not hesitate to help.” Bai Xiaosheng Shen Qi in the team channel
The identity of the old man was introduced, giving everyone a preliminary impression.
Of course, the Immortal in the Pot didn't know the content of the private exchanges between the players. After a moment of admiration, he asked his monster waiter to take out a stack of what looked like cards and hand them to everyone.
"This card can lead to the secret room that I opened for each of you. In that room, I left a test paper. You can come out after completing the test paper." The Immortal in the Pot said, "It is inevitable to select the successor of the Heavenly Book.
Written test, right?”
Everyone was surprised, looked at each other and smiled, then activated the cards one after another, and each entered an elegant bamboo house.
[You have entered the ** space. All communication methods, external contact methods and auxiliary memory systems are temporarily disabled. 】
Cheng Peng received such a system text message as soon as he entered the bamboo house, but he didn't take it to heart. He walked straight to the table and chairs in the center of the bamboo house, sat down swaggeringly, and picked up the white paper on the table.
There is only one line of words on the white paper: What do you think the Heavenly Book is? Please write the answer on the paper.
Cheng Peng put down the thin white paper and began to think deeply.
What is the Book of Heaven?
He had studied information about the Xuanyuan Sword series and knew that the so-called "Book of Heaven" was actually formed by extracting the ability of the Demon Refining Pot. Whether it is forming a world of its own or collecting demons, it is the ability of the Demon Refining Pot. Originally
These abilities should only be available to the Demon Refining Pot, but the Immortal in the Pot has developed magical skills and created a prop called the "Heavenly Book", which allows those who obtain the Heavenly Book to use these abilities even if they don't have the Demon Refining Pot.
So, is the Book of Heaven a simplified version of the Demon Refining Pot?
He doesn't think so.
Of course, it is impossible for the Immortal in the Pot to create the Heavenly Book just to popularize the technology related to the Demon Refining Pot - if that were the case, he could have made more Heavenly Books and distributed them everywhere, but he did not.
He created the Book of Heaven in order to win over those who he considered to be qualified and capable, so that they would accept his ideas and help him complete a world where humans and monsters coexist equally.
This ideal is not bad, but it is something that "looks beautiful" - humans and monsters are always hostile: if people want to live, they must obtain resources from nature, whether they are vegetation, minerals or beasts, they are all resources
Even the most benevolent people will inevitably hurt them. For monsters, this is tantamount to killing their own kind; and many monsters are cannibals, which is even more harmful to the naked earth and human beings.
Enemies... How can the two sides coexist peacefully if their positions are so different?
Tigers and lions coexist peacefully because they are afraid of each other's strength; goats and rabbits coexist peacefully because neither can hurt the other... But who has ever seen a tiger and a rabbit coexisting peacefully?
The world dreamed up by the Immortal in the Pot is simply impossible to build. Even if it can be built reluctantly with his supreme magical power, that world will definitely be filled with wars between humans and monsters. The war will continue until both sides are exhausted, and no one can do anything.
Who can form a fragile balance.
That kind of balance is definitely not what the Immortal in the Pot wants!
So the Heavenly Book is actually just useless work...
But is the creation and teaching of the Heavenly Book really just useless work?
Cheng Peng sat in front of the table, his thoughts wandering further and further away.
From Chisongzi to Xiyan, from Xiyan to Zhang Liang, and later Huan Yuanzhi... these people are all chasing their ideals, never giving up or shrinking. Maybe their ideals are different, and some
Even polar opposites; perhaps some of them succeeded, some failed, some suffered in pain because of the mistakes they made, and some fell down on the road to their ideals... But they never gave up.
, no matter what the circumstances, success or failure, they never give up and always pursue their ideals.
Compared with the heirs of the Demon Refining Pot, Sang Jing, Heng Ai, Chen Jingchou, and Seth, the heirs of the Heavenly Book are purer and more determined to pursue their ideals. They may have been a little confused and at a loss, but they will always look up.
Start looking forward, take steps forward, and never back down until you reach your ideal!
The Book of Heaven, in fact, should be the spirit of pursuing ideals in the Huzhongxian family. It is a belief that will never back down or give up!
Cheng Peng took a deep breath, picked up the pen on the table, and wrote his answer on the paper.
The holy book is to chase your ideal and never give up!
After he finished writing this line, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed, and he returned to the Immortal in the Pot.
Most of the players who were traveling with me have returned, and only a few of them are still missing. I guess they are still thinking hard, right?
After a while, everyone finally came back.
"This question is really weird. It actually asks, 'What do you think the Book of Heaven is?'... What does this mean?" Mei Tixin said in confusion, "The Book of Heaven is a magic book that records powerful spells. What else could it be?"
"This can be regarded as an answer... But I think the Book of Heaven should be a magic book that records a series of technologies. Through these technologies, the artifact called the 'Demon Refining Pot' can be reproduced. This is probably because the Immortal in the Pot foresaw his own
At the end of the day, I hope my wisdom will not be cut off as a backup method." Shen Qi said with a smile, "There may be some problems with my understanding. After all, I am not an Easterner in the true sense, and I can never accurately grasp Eastern culture."
"I think you are thinking too complicatedly!" Morili, a straightforward black man, laughed, "Isn't the Book of Heaven a powerful magical device? It can form an independent space and can do all kinds of magical things. It is about
It’s already at the level of a divine weapon…”
Everyone was talking about it for a while, and they suddenly discovered that their understanding of the Book of Heaven was different. No two people were completely consistent!
At this time, the Immortal in the Pot had already read everyone's answers, his face was gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Old man, is our answer...right or wrong?" Yue Yi took a step forward and asked politely.
The Immortal in the Pot smiled, without comment, and with a wave of his hand, the gray bamboo sticks carried by everyone flew up, glowing faintly, and became much more beautiful.
"There is one last test...but this last test will take some time. Once you are ready, break this bamboo slip."
After saying that, everyone's eyes were dazzled and they were already standing outside the wind pillar.
Then, in their surprised eyes, the huge wind pillar became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared completely...
