Chapter 418: One hundred million less spiritual stones
"Come again..."
In the corner of the desolate Gobi cliff, a muffled groan mixed with anger and surprise came, and Wu Ming felt the inexplicable changes in his whole body with joy, and the light and shadow of the golden Buddha flower behind him slowly disappeared. Apex 23S.
Fastest update
Just as he had guessed, the Buddha Flower did reverse the strange restriction, absorb external power, and feed itself back. This power was extremely pure. In just three days, despite the torture, it made the second level of "Fudo Mingou Zun" completely stable, completely defeating it.
Fixed deficiencies after early departure from customs.
From the beginning when his heart was cold, thinking it was a magic flower, to the pain and happiness now, after three days of torture, Wu Ming felt that he had made greater progress than he had made in half a year of cultivation, so much so that even the initial shock and anger had turned away.
surprise.
"As the old saying goes, it doesn't matter whether the cat is white or black, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat. This..."
Wu Ming was feeling the changes in his body. Although he could not exert his power, he could actually feel the invisible growth of his power.
"Your Majesty is really in a good mood. Under such circumstances, he is in the mood to think about black cats and white cats!"
At this moment, a voice as ethereal as a bird's cry came, causing Wu Ming to shut up and quickly look up while feeling awe-struck.
A beautiful figure carrying a basket of flowers, Pinpin Tingting, arrived. Even a coarse cloth dress could not conceal the natural beauty of this girl, with a round oval face, one part too thin and one part too fat, two crescent eyebrows, and even more
He appears friendly and kind, making people feel close to him at first glance.
Especially a pair of bright eyes that seemed to contain the changes of the seasons, and a gaze as gentle as spring. Wu Ming's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed that he was plotting against such a girl!
This woman is not her, it is Xu Qiulan, a contemporary spiritual daughter of the Xu family who we have met once, and Xu Xiangu, who was sixth on the list of geniuses back then!
Wow!
Seeing him lowering his head and saying nothing, Xu Qiulan smiled, moved lightly, and came closer. With a wave of his hand, the iron chain restraint fell down.
"Ziming has met Fairy Girl!"
Wu Ming shook his sore hands and feet and hurriedly bowed to him.
"Your Majesty would rather go through such pain and let the little girl show up. Why don't you say anything now?"
The gentle voice sounded, just like Wu Ming's shadow was reflected in Xu Qiulan's gentle and bright eyes at the Taoist banquet in the capital a few years ago. He still remembers that under the gaze of these eyes, he almost said that he had plagiarized.
fact.
Fortunately, he was very clever, and he had an idea and used another method to divert this woman's attention, so that the secret would not be exposed.
"Ha, Fairy Girl is joking. How can I be a prince in front of Fairy Girl? If Fairy Girl doesn't mind, you'd better call me by my name!"
Wu Ming laughed, rubbing the bridge of his nose with a nonchalant look on his face, but his heart was inexplicably shocked. Unexpectedly, Xu Qiulan seemed to see that he had other plans.
Judging from the woman's expression, she seemed not to have noticed the strange phenomenon of Buddha flowers appearing, so she felt relieved.
Xu Qiulan covered her mouth and chuckled, then turned around and walked down the mountain. Her thick black ponytail was swung behind her back, unable to hide her slender waist, and her perky buttocks were even more attractive.
Wu Ming's eyes widened and his heart skipped a few beats. Compared to the cyan Liu Yixue, the unparalleled charm Li Li, and the gentle and lovely Lu Zijin, this woman's temperament was as caring and moving as the sister next door.
!
"Brother Wu, if you are so rude, I will drive you down the mountain!"
Xu Qiulan seemed to be aware of it, and turned around with a slight blush on her pretty face.
That's true. Although she is a proud daughter of heaven, she is the center of attention wherever she goes. Although she attracts attention, how can anyone dare to stare at her private parts so unscrupulously?
"Hey ha!"
Wu Ming rubbed the bridge of his nose in embarrassment, and hurriedly took a few steps forward, walking side by side. He was caught peeping at what was going on, and with such a thick face as him, it was inevitable that he would feel uncomfortable.
"Brother Wu is here as a guest at the Xu family. The little girl is very honored, but I have neglected you!"
Xu Qiulan held the flower basket and said softly.
"No, no, no, I'm the one who bothered you!"
Wu Ming said quickly.
"Oh, if that's the case, then thank you Brother Wu Haihan!"
Xu Qiulan nodded and didn't notice Wu Ming's stunned expression as he walked forward.
"This girl knows how to kill snakes and follow them with a stick better than I do!"
Wu Ming kept slandering, but he couldn't say it clearly. After all, he had planned it beforehand and he was in this situation. It was his own fault. However, he said, "It's okay if Fairy Aunt is not angry. It's just that the noble Senior Sister Xu Qiuyun was hurt by my rudeness.
Can you please be accommodating to me being imprisoned on this Gobi cliff?"
"It's easy to be accommodating. I wonder what Brother Wu is referring to?"
Xu Qiulan smiled lightly.
Wu Ming frowned slightly, his eyes flickered, and he seemed to be hesitant for a moment.
"The Xu family has a great cause and many children, more than tens of thousands. If we want to maintain stability, we need a balance. This is extremely important for any force! Even I cannot interfere with the distribution of family interests at will, otherwise the clan will be destroyed.
Where is the rule?"
Seeing that he didn't speak, Xu Qiulan continued to talk until Wu Ming nodded slightly to express his approval, and then continued, "I also know something about Sister Qiuyun's situation. If I intervene rashly, I will break the underlying rules.
With Brother Wu's intelligence, he can clearly think about what kind of exchange of benefits and what price he will pay for a piece of rain flower stone!"
"Why!"
Wu Ming sighed, didn't he know there was something fishy about it?
In feudal society, no matter how large a family is, the eldest family basically occupies 99% of the family's resources, which are then distributed by the clan leader. No matter how many assets each family has, they are all owned by the public. No one has the right to private allocation, only passive rights.
distribution rights.
Although today's aristocratic family is not as strict as this, it is almost the same. Seriously speaking, even Xu Qiuyun himself is under the control of the Xu family. Even if the Yuhua Stone is really his own, the clan leader of the big house also has the right to distribute it.
It seems cruel and deprives most of the benefits, but in fact it is also the cohesion of a family, and what maintains this cohesion is the family rules, which on the surface maintain the various rules of most people!
For example, when all kinds of resources and treasures are gathered together, the clan will set up rules with clear rewards and punishments, and there will also be competitions to encourage the children to improve, etc. It can be said that everyone is given a fair opportunity.
But for the weak branches, under the invisible pressure of the strong alliance, they will become weaker and weaker until they disappear. It seems that the strength of the family has been weakened, but in fact, these resources have been absorbed by the family members and have not been dispersed.
This is the law of the jungle, even those of the same race. Xu Qiuyun is a victim of this disregard for unspoken rules!
It's not that Wu Ming didn't expect this, it's just that he decided all matters of Prince Wu's palace with his words, and there were no side effects, so naturally he wouldn't think of this situation at the first time.
"If Brother Wu is so thoughtful, there is still half a year left for the Xu family's big competition this year, so he can help her!"
Xu Qiulan said with a half-smile.
"Ahem, Fairy Girl is a fairy who doesn't eat fireworks from the world. Why do you want to plot against my little fortune?"
Wu Ming said sarcastically.
"Brother Wu, don't be humble. If your treasures are just a little bit of property, they won't be worthy of the attention of the major sects!
To be honest, even in Bailing Pavilion, there are several beings who have sent disciples to the capital to prepare to participate in the upcoming elixir auction in Guangyuanzhai!"
Xu Qiulan glanced at him. Although not charming, it was bright and moving.
"Everything the Fairy Lady needs, I am willing to give it to you with both hands!"
Wu Ming said sincerely.
"Cheapskate!"
Xu Qiulan laughed and scolded, shaking her head slightly.
"I'm sincere!"
Wu Ming blushed endlessly and felt very embarrassed. It was really letting people see through his thoughts one after another, and he couldn't bear to be embarrassed.
How could such an outstanding person accept gifts so easily?
The same was true for Lan Xinhui at the beginning. After taking the holy water, she gave Dragon Song Pill as a gift in return. She would never owe a favor easily.
And if he wanted to gain the upper hand in this negotiation, he naturally couldn't speak easily, but Xu Qiulan's answer was impeccable, and he couldn't find any flaws, which made him feel depressed and had nowhere to say anything.
"Don't worry, the Qiuyun clan girls have gone down the mountain. Some people have indeed done something good. Although certain things are tacitly allowed by the clan rules, sometimes if the bottom line is exceeded, even the friendship of the same clan is gone!"
Xu Qiulan said lightly.
Wu Ming raised his brows slightly and looked sideways at the fairy lady. He found that she was calm and calm from beginning to end, and it was impossible to tell whether she was angry or not.
"Do you think I'm unreasonable?"
Xu Qiulan felt uncomfortable being looked at and had to smile bitterly.
"Your achievements today are due to your own talent and hard work, but it is also inseparable from the support of your family and the training of your sect!"
Wu Ming said sincerely.
"Thanks!"
Xu Qiulan paused slightly and bowed.
Unknowingly, the two of them left while chatting and came to the foot of the mountain. Two middle-aged deacons in black clothes stood awkwardly, as if waiting for Wu Ming to come down the mountain.
"Ahem, I didn't know the identity of King Wu before, so I may have offended you a lot, please forgive me!"
The two of them bowed their hands in a bow, which seemed very sincere, but showed reluctance and contempt.
In terms of the power of the Xu family, even the royal family may not take it seriously, not to mention the two or three big and small kittens in the Wu Prince's Mansion, let alone Wu Ming, a mere artistic conception warrior.
Being able to do this is naturally for Xu Qiulan's sake!
"Ha, don't blame those who don't know!"
Wu Ming waved his hand casually.
"Thank you so much, Wu Wang Haihan!"
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief. Although they were not afraid, if Wu Mingruo got entangled and Xu Qiulan couldn't save her face, it would be a big or small matter and it would be quite troublesome.
After the matter was settled, everything was fine. One of them hurriedly handed over Wu Ming's ring and several personal treasures. These were all obtained from a body search after Wu Ming was imprisoned. At this time, the original items were returned.
Xu Qiulan frowned slightly and glanced at Wu Ming in surprise. She seemed a little surprised. In her opinion, Wu Ming was by no means such a person who would compromise easily, let alone what she knew about Wu Ming's various provocations after entering the government.
The behavior shows obvious purpose!
Just as the two deacons felt relaxed and were about to send them off the mountain, they stumbled.
"Hey, that's not right. Why are there 100 million spiritual stones missing?"
I saw Wu Ming flipping through Najie casually, with an exaggerated look of surprise on his face, and scratching his head in confusion.
"Ahem!"
Xu Qiulan was calm and collected. Even though he was well prepared to deal with it, he was so shocked by the sudden voice that he almost carried it away with a breath!
