Many thoughts flashed through Shen Qian's mind, and then he couldn't help blurting out: "Is this Tian Ji Ke someone who has a close relationship with the Nine Kings?"
But Shen Qian soon rejected the idea himself.
The reason is simple.
As the current nominal number one person in China, Wu Wei, the Minister of Chinese Martial Arts, has not been banned but no one dares to disrespect him. There is no movement at all.
This is so unreasonable.
Even if he is a descendant of the Nine Kings, how can Wu Wei have the slightest fear?
If you really want to count, it is said that Wu Wei has a direct blood connection with a certain king among the Nine Kings.
Shen Qian remembered that he had watched an old but classic TV series. There was a line in it, that is, after eliminating all possibilities, even if the remaining answer is ridiculous, it is still the truth.
So Shen Qian was horrified and frightened.
"Who is this Tian Ji Ke... among the Nine Kings?"
When Shen Qian found out that he had asked, Uncle Luo Shen's brows twitched visibly, and he couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart, because this meant that he was very likely to have guessed correctly.
If this Tianjike is really the incarnation of someone among the Nine Kings, then everything seems to make sense.
But who could it be?
The only ones with traces of activities in the outside world are King Zhou Yi and King Zhenbei. Could it be one of these two people?
But Shen Qian still doesn't understand why they want to come up with another identity.
After a long silence, Uncle Luo Shen finally spoke: "This is all your own guess, I didn't say anything."
Shen Qian frowned, but couldn't help but ask: "But... why? Well, although I don't know why it is inconvenient for you to say a lot of things directly, but you can say something else, I believe My ability to understand.”
"Tell me something else?" Luo Shenbo was startled.
"It's like a metaphor or something..."
In fact, by this time, Shen Qian had already started to lick it.
Contacting Luo Shenbo's previous remarks, if Luo Shenbo is hesitating for something, it is most likely due to the invisible but real cause and effect.
Perhaps, she didn't want to say it just to avoid some cause and effect.
But when she thought of this, Shen Qian was even more shocked.
Although "Bo" is only the lowest rank among princely titles, it is still a prince!
What kind of cause and effect would make even Luo Shenbo avoid it?
Uncle Luo Shen remained silent for a while. Just when Shen Qian thought she might not be able to say anything, Uncle Luo Shen suddenly spoke.
"A long time ago, there was a wasteland that looked quite open."
Shen Qian concentrated for a moment.
And Uncle Luo Shen continued.
"One day, a seedling suddenly grew up on the long-dry wasteland. Despite the wind and rain and the harsh environment, the seedling still grew, and it grew bigger and taller... …”
"Later, it turned into a tall and tall tree, and its greenness can be seen even from a long distance."
"Perhaps because the appearance of the big trees improved the soil, the soil began to breed more saplings, and some trees from outside took root here because they were attracted."
"When this wasteland finally got rid of its barrenness and was no longer afraid of wind and rain, nine big trees had already stood on it, and countless strong saplings were growing among them. The situation of this wasteland suddenly became better. Get up."
"It's just a pity..."
Shen Qian was listening intently, and when he heard Uncle Luo Shen's words, he subconsciously asked, "What's the pity?"
"The nine big trees are really too strong, each one seems to be towering into the sky. Although they firmly guard the soil and make it fertile, they... also block the sunlight of other trees. ”
"Their blooming branches and leaves cover the sky and the sun, firmly blocking the sky in this soil."
"When other saplings reached a certain size but could no longer grow, all the trees suddenly realized that there was no gap for them to continue growing."
"What do you think will happen at this time?"
Shen Qian did not reply, but fell into a slight shock.
But Uncle Luo Shen didn't really want him to answer. After a brief pause, he said to himself: "Later, due to various reasons, seven of the nine big trees finally collapsed, and the sky once again had large tracts of sunshine... …”
"Other trees thought their opportunity had finally come, so they began to grow in the sunshine."
"Until one day, many trees were surprised to find that even so, they still could not grow into new towering trees."
"Maybe it's because of talent, maybe it's because of something else... But in this land, towering trees will never appear again for a long time."
"Some people began to reflect, and some began to try to take other paths."
"Other way?" Shen Qian finally recovered from his sluggishness.
"What do you think, although those big trees have collapsed, it does not mean that their once deep-rooted roots have also disappeared. What if... you can use those roots for your own use?" Luo Shenbo said softly.
"Then you can turn into a new big tree with the help of those roots without much effort..."
Shen Qian murmured.
"Is it just like this? Or is this the only possibility?"
Uncle Luo Shen smiled slightly and said.
"What else could there be?"
"Haha, the story ends here."
Luo Shenbo directly ended the topic.
No matter how much Shen Qian pressed, seeing that Uncle Luo Shen had no intention of speaking again, Shen Qian could only give up.
But having said that, although the story of Uncle Luo Shen has not been finished, being able to tell it to this point is already very flattering to Shen Qian.
Nine big trees...
There is no doubt that the metaphor is the first generation of Nine Kings!
Thinking about the most important chapter in the history of modern martial arts, isn't it the rise of the Nine Kings of the first generation, which directly pushed China into a new era of stability?
But the question is, does the so-called wasteland really just refer to China?
Shen Qian vaguely felt that it was not that simple. He had a deeper guess in his heart, but he couldn't be sure for the time being.
What's horrifying to think about is the other meaning revealed in Luo Shenbo's story.
No matter what the wasteland refers to, it is a fact that the Nine Kings block the way forward for others.
The fall or disappearance of the other seven kings of the first generation of nine kings seems to be closely related to this.
This is probably the biggest secret in modern Chinese history.
It also involves the Nine Kings, so it’s no wonder that Uncle Luo Shen is hesitant and unwilling to speak out.
And the Tianjike who appeared today may also be involved in this level of secrets?
But this point obviously needs to be verified by Shen Qian himself.
It will take a long time for Big Brother Gao to return, but I don’t know who to ask...
Shen Qian, who smacked his mouth and was in a daze, took a sip of tea and said goodbye.
"Uncle Luo Shen, thank you for your hospitality, I..."
"Do you think I called you here just to answer your questions?"
Uncle Luo Shen interrupted Shen Qian with a slight snort.
"Ah, Uncle Luo Shen has something to do, but please give me your instructions." Shen Qian came back to his senses, cursed himself for being slow, and responded quickly.
Uncle Luo Shen's face looked better now. She pondered for a while before slowly speaking.
"You have also dealt with my niece Qu Xiangyun. What do you think... of her?"
"Huh?"
Shen Qian was stunned for a moment. Although he felt a little strange, he didn't hesitate for too long, "Of course he is extremely young and has the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix."
"In that case, how about I make the decision to betroth her to you?"
Uncle Luo Shen smiled.
"How does this happen?"
Shen Qian was startled and subconsciously refused directly. Seeing Uncle Luo Shen's brows darken, he quickly explained: "Uncle Luo Shen, it's not that I want to shirk it on purpose, it's just that I feel..."
"She's not good enough for you?" Uncle Luo Shen interrupted Shen Qian indifferently.
"Of course not."
"Then you mean you're not good enough for her?"
"Yes."
Uncle Luo Shen originally sneered, but when she heard that Shen Qian had used such a bad excuse to evade, she raised her eyebrows and became really angry.
"Uncle Luo Shen, please listen to what I have to say. What I mean when I say I'm not good enough for her is... I'm already dirty."
"...Dirty?"
Uncle Luo Shen was startled and looked at Shen Qian in confusion.
"I'm not afraid of your jokes. My private life... is a little bit chaotic. By marrying your niece to me, you are really pushing her into a pit of fire!"
Shen Qian said sincerely: "I am not an ordinary playboy. I like the new and hate the old. Now I have more than 20 women... Don't believe it, I can list them all for you."
"For example, Ding Yi from Beiwu, the one who was in the limelight at the Jiutian Cup, there is one who opened the martial arts gym in Beiwu, named Jiang Xuan, I didn't even let go of my eighth senior sister, well, and my two Senior sister, how much do you think this is?"
"..."
Uncle Luo Shen originally wanted to say something, but he fell silent after listening.
Even the two senior sisters were not spared, so Shen Qian should not be able to make such a joke.
She originally thought that Shen Qian was just making excuses, but now that she heard what Shen Qian said, it seemed that if she insisted on marrying her niece to him, she would really be sending her niece into a tiger's mouth.
But being persuaded to quit by Shen Qian, Uncle Luo Shen felt a little embarrassed again.
"Hey, Uncle Luo Shen, can I ask you, why do you insist on marrying your niece to me?"
Shen Qian seemed to notice her confusion and asked at the right time.
……
It wasn't until Shen Qian was already several kilometers away from Luo Shenbo's manor that he let out a long sigh of relief.
Only then did he realize that he had sweated a lot.
After all, you are talking nonsense in front of a prince, which is a bit stressful.
Fortunately, Uncle Luo Shen was reasonable and did not really insist on marrying Qu Xiangyun to him in the end.
Although Shen Qian considers himself not a good and loyal man, the other party is the prince's niece. Putting aside other things, this identity alone is enough to give Shen Qian a headache.
Naturally, it’s better to keep a distance.
As for the last reason Luo Shenbo said, Shen Qian was a little confused.
"Since you can't be alone, it's better than lingering..."
After Uncle Luo Shen murmured, before Shen Qian could react, he waved his sleeves and sent him out of the manor.
Although the explanation is unclear, Shen Qian can probably guess that there is some deep meaning in it based on what Luo Shenbo said at the beginning, "No prince can escape."
However, there are already too many issues to think about today, and Shen Qian is too lazy to think about them anymore.
In the sky twinkling with stars, although the Nine Heavens List is no longer shining with golden light, it still stretches across the sky and the earth, and can be seen as long as Shen Qian raises his head.
And on the highest list, his slightly crooked name stands out.
Shen Qian sighed a little. He knew that during this nine-day battle, he was afraid that he would have no peace.
But...
Just inside the manor, Shen Qian's state of mind has undergone a major transformation.
At this moment, he no longer wants to escape.
Thinking of the nine-day list, Shen Qian saw no one around, so he brought up the system interface.
The golden light on the Nine Heavens List was indeed absorbed by Shen Qian, but the strange thing is that Shen Qian didn't know where they went.
He does not have his own "Tao", so there is no way to ascend, and neither the elemental power nor the physical body in his body has been enhanced.
In other words, the golden light in Shen Qian's body was like a mud cow entering the sea, disappearing inexplicably.
But considering that the system briefly took over Shen Qian's body at that time, Shen Qian estimated that he could still find the answer.
After finding the nearest filing cabinet, Shen Qian saw a hang-up record marked with today's date.
He clicked on it, but there were only a few lines of text in it.
"You feel a familiar breath(17:37)
You run the mysterious formula (17:38)(Note 1)
You absorbed the energy from the fragments of the God List (17:41) (Note 2)
You successfully expanded the system's capacity and got a second battery pack (17:42)
..."
The hang-up record stopped abruptly. The seemingly simple four-sentence text contained two comments and four sentences that Shen Qian could not understand at all.
What is a familiar breath?
Could it be that the Jiutian Ranking or Tianjike has some kind of connection with me?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Shen Qian frowned and clicked on the first line of comments.
"Note 1: Mysterious formula - a formula of unknown origin."
Shen Qian:?
Shen Qian, who looked confused, couldn't complain after realizing it.
What's the difference between your comment and his nonsense!
What is unknown origin?
Of course I know that its origin is unknown, but you have already used it, how come you don’t know its origin?
And based on past experience, it is basically impossible for the system to print such ambiguous comments.
Shen Qian, whose brain ached, calmed down and thought about it, but he couldn't think of a reason.
He could only put aside his worries temporarily and looked at the second note.
"The List of Conferred Gods - Tao-level spiritual weapon, split in a catastrophe."
Another extremely simple one-line comment, but this time, Shen Qian finally got some useful information.
This list of gods... is it the list of gods that I know?
Shen Qian heard these three words in a series of ancient myths and legends that he later copied.
Legend has it that at the turn of the Shang Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty was almost exhausted and the Zhou Dynasty was about to rise. A Taoist super boss named Yuan Shi Tianzun forged the God Beating Whip and the Gods List to canonize the gods in heaven.
The key point is that it is really used to confer gods...
Therefore, Shen Qian subconsciously felt that the list of gods mentioned in the system was not the list of gods in Taoist legends.
But when he thought about the magic of the Nine Heavens List, which seemed to have some meaning, Shen Qian was not sure.
Thinking again of the first sentence in the hang-up record, that so-called hint of familiarity.
With such a game, it means that the "familiar atmosphere" mentioned by the system does not actually refer to the Nine-day Ranking, but the Conferred God Ranking behind the Nine-day Ranking?
Hey, wait, if that legend is not groundless...
When did King Zhou Yi come?
Shen Qian suddenly remembered what Shi Dingyan said that day, and felt as if he had caught something, but he couldn't fully understand it.
