Ma Xiaoyao glanced at Xing Yajun: "How do you know that the Zhuge family has no ill intentions towards me?"
"Uh...just go by feeling..." Xing Yajun said.
"Feeling?" Ma Xiaoyao was exasperated: "What if you feel wrong? Am I going to be killed by you?"
"It's not that serious." Xing Yajun hurriedly shook his head: "I just said that the Zhuge family is very powerful. If they want to harm you, they can just do it directly. There is no need to send you invitations..."
Ma Xiaoyao nodded slightly: "This sentence makes some sense. The key question is...what does the Zhuge family want to do with me?"
Xing Yajun pondered for a moment: "According to my guess... maybe it has something to do with stone gambling."
"Betting on stones?" Ma Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Yes." Xing Yajun nodded: "Besides this possibility, I can't think of any other possibility."
Ma Xiaoyao was in a dilemma. He didn't know whether he should go to the Zhuge family. For him, the Zhuge family was too unfamiliar, and the Zhuge family was still very powerful. Once he went to the Zhuge family, his life would have to be controlled.
It's in someone else's hands.
go?
Still not going?
If you don't go, it will be like losing the face of the Zhuge family, and you won't be able to let it go.
Oops...
It’s so frustrating!
Sometimes being too famous is not a good thing.
"Okay, since the invitation has been sent, I'll go there." Ma Xiaoyao weighed a lot and finally made a decision: "Shopkeeper Xing, pack up and come with me." Find someone.
You will not be lonely on the road, and you will have someone to take care of you if something happens.
"Me?"
"It's not as serious as you say."
"It will only be more serious than what I said! The Zhuge family is very powerful and they don't look down on a small person like me. They don't let me in. They might just kill me. I don't want to do injustice."
devil."
"As long as I'm here, nothing will happen to you."
"Can you compete with the Zhuge family?"
"I……"
"Mr. Ma, just let me go. I have an old man above me and a young man below me. Nothing can happen to me."
"Okay, forget it if you don't want to." Ma Xiaoyao sighed helplessly: "I originally planned to take you to broaden your horizons, but who knew you were so greedy for life and afraid of death."
"I'm not greedy for life and afraid of death, but I don't want to die in vain." Xing Yajun explained.
"Isn't that what you mean?" Ma Xiaoyao rolled his eyes: "If you are not afraid of death, then follow me to the Zhuge family."
"..." Xing Yajun stopped talking.
"Okay, stop keeping such a straight face. I was joking with you just now. Since you don't want to go, I won't force you." At this point, Ma Xiaoyao paused: "As powerful as the Zhuge family,
Are there many big families?”
Xing Yajun shook his head: "Not many. As far as I know, there are only three families that can compare with the Zhuge family."
"Which three families?" Ma Xiaoyao asked hurriedly.
"One is the Nangong family, one is the Xiahou family, and the other is the Sima family."
Not weaker than the Zhuge family."
"Oh, so the four families in Tiangong Star can be on an equal footing with the nine great dynasties?"
"Yes."
"Apart from these four ancient families, are there any other forces that can be on an equal footing with the Nine Divine Dynasties?"
"There are some sects with a long history that can stand on an equal footing with the Nine Divine Dynasties."
"Sect? Be more detailed! What sects are there?"
"For example, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, Xuanfeng Taoist Temple, Lingbo Palace, Demon Sect... these ancient sects can all stand on an equal footing with the nine great dynasties."
"Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple? Xuanfeng Taoist Temple? Lingbo Palace? Demonic Sect? Just by hearing the name, you can tell it's awesome." Ma Xiaoyao secretly admired: "The power of one sect alone can be on an equal footing with the nine great dynasties. It's really amazing.
Already."
"I may have misunderstood." Xing Yajun corrected: "What I mean by equality is that both sides are wary of each other and do not want to go to war. It does not mean equality in strength!" At this point, Xing Yajun added: "If both sides
If a war really starts, the Nine Divine Dynasties will definitely win in the end, but it will be a tragic victory, so the Nine Divine Dynasties and the four major families and the four sects will not go to war unless it is absolutely necessary."
"Mutual fear and mutual restraint have formed the current balanced situation of Tiangong Star." Ma Xiaoyao said slowly.
"Yes, you are right." Xing Yajun nodded: "That's what I mean."
"You just said that the Zhuge family has an innate spiritual treasure?" Ma Xiaoyao's thinking is really fast. Just now he was discussing the issue of which power is stronger and which is weaker, but in the blink of an eye he jumped to the spiritual treasure.
"...Yes, I did." Xing Yajun nodded.
"Does the Nangong family, Xiahou family, and Sima family have any spiritual treasures?" Ma Xiaoyao asked next.
"This... there should be... They are all ancient families that have been passed down for millions of years, so they should have spiritual treasures..."
"Where are the four major sects and the nine great dynasties of gods? Do they have any spiritual treasures?"
"This...I don't know..."
"You really don't know? Or you don't want to say it?"
"Mr. Ma, I am just a small businessman with a low status and an average status. The things I know are really limited. If you are really curious, just ask the Zhuge family. If you are kinder, maybe they will tell you.
Your... what, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." After saying this, Xing Yajun stood up and slipped away. He was really scared of being asked by Ma Xiaoyao, who always asked about sensitive and secretive things.
,Xing Yajun really can’t answer.
Ma Xiaoyao sat alone on a chair, stroking his bare chin while secretly wondering why the Zhuge family invited him? Is it really for gambling on stones?
Two days later.
Xing Yajun exchanged all the silver from Ma Xiaoyao's dividends into gold. After that... Ma Xiaoyao drove away Xing Yajun who was in the way, and sat alone in a pile of gold to practice... The speed of cultivation was very fast, but unfortunately the amount of gold was not enough...
There is no way to support Ma Xiaoyao's promotion.
Ma Xiaoyao used internal vision to observe and found that the metallic Qi in the Dantian had only increased a little, and was still far from the saturated state.
"Alas..." Ma Xiaoyao sighed heavily: "I really miss the days of living in the Qinglong Dynasty..."
His Majesty Zhu Tianba of the Qinglong Dynasty rewarded Ma Xiaoyao with ten large gold mines, most of which were unmined. It was really great to use them for cultivation, but it was a pity... Before he could warm up the gold mines,
He offended Zhu Tianba and ended up absconding...
"I wonder how Zhu Yingying is doing." Ma Xiaoyao said with a trace of longing in his eyes: "Just wait a little longer. When my strength improves, I will rescue you. Then no one will dare to restrict your freedom."
After his emotions calmed down completely, Ma Xiaoyao stood up and left. As for the gold in the room... he didn't even take a look. The metallic energy stored in the gold had been absorbed by Ma Xiaoyao, and the gold at this moment had become dim.
It lost its color and looked like a pile of ordinary rocks.
After resting for three days, Ma Xiaoyao decided to leave for the Zhuge family. Before going, he had made complete preparations. He kept the two remaining Wanli Talismans close to his body. As soon as he found that something was wrong, he would crush them immediately.
The Wanli Talisman escapes far away.
In addition, he also has a trump card, which is the soul of the divine fortune teller. At a critical moment, he can let the divine fortune teller's soul control the Mountains and Rivers Sheji Map to launch a terrifying blow. The Mountains and Rivers Sheji Map is a spiritual treasure. Once activated, he will be considered a heaven-level master.
I'm afraid I have to stay away.
It was precisely because of these two life-saving means that Ma Xiaoyao dared to go to the Zhuge family alone.
There is another thing worth talking about, and that is the fight between brothers Zhao Puguang and Zhao Jinliang.
Just as Ma Xiaoyao guessed, Zhao Jinliang lost the bet and refused to admit it, which made Zhao Puguang angry. He went directly to the palace to argue with Zhao Jinliang. At first, the two of them could restrain themselves and just quarreled, but then... the two became irritated.
When people take action, the nature of the action changes...
The strength of the two brothers was almost the same, and in the end, both sides suffered losses.
When the Emperor of Daliang Kingdom heard about this, he was extremely furious. He called the two brothers to the main hall and scolded them severely. Then he ordered the two brothers to go back to the palace to die behind closed doors. Without his permission, the two brothers were not allowed to step out of the palace.
.
The two brothers were grounded in one sentence.
Through this incident, the Emperor of Daliang was extremely disappointed with Zhao Puguang and Zhao Jinliang. Both of their sons were unworthy and unfit to be emperors, but...he only had these two sons...that is to say, in the future,
One of the two sons must be chosen to inherit the throne...
I have a headache, I really have a headache!!!
…
When the Emperor of Liang Kingdom was suffering from a headache, His Majesty Zhu Tianba of the Qinglong Dynasty was also suffering from a headache.
Why does Zhu Tianba have a headache? It's not because of the careless ninth princess Zhu Yingying.
Originally, Zhu Tianba wanted to marry Zhu Yingying to Luo Shaoqiu, the eighth prince of the White Tiger Dynasty. In Zhu Tianba's opinion, Zhu Yingying and Luo Shaoqiu were really a good match, but Zhu Yingying refused to agree. What annoyed Zhu Tianba the most was that Zhu Yingying
He actually fell in love with a little guard, and finally wanted to elope with this little guard. He almost succeeded, and almost made Zhu Tianba angry to death.
Later, Zhu Yingying started a hunger strike, but Zhu Tianba easily defused it. There is no better daughter than a father. Zhu Tianba knew that Zhu Yingying was kind-hearted, so he threatened Zhu Yingying with all the guards and servants of the Princess House. If Zhu Yingying continued to
If they dared to go on a hunger strike, they would kill these guards and servants. This move hit Zhu Yingying's lifeline, forcing her to compromise and give up her hunger strike.
