The size of the Jiazifang is very large, and the furnishings are elegant and quiet. The floor is covered with smooth and warm jade, and on the four walls, there are many landscape paintings that seem to contain infinite mysteries.
In the middle of the room, there was a girl with long hair reaching her ankles. She was wearing a snow-white dress, her eyes were closed, her long hair was also gray with strands of gray, but her face was like Autumn water hibiscus is generally bright and clean.
Gu Zuo glanced at the girl silently, and couldn't help but praise her.
Since he hit this different world, he has only discovered that there are so many beautiful girls in this world, all of them are natural and without carvings, which is simply dizzying.
Unfortunately, he is not in the mood to appreciate it.
The girl's voice was very ethereal: "The concubine can't see, so I can't stand up to greet you, and I hope the distinguished guests are not strange."
Gu Zuo translated it inwardly.
This means... Such a beautiful girl is blind? This is really miserable, but the girl herself doesn't seem to have any feelings of resentment, she is very strong.
Gongyi Tianheng carried Gu Zuo on his back and sat opposite the girl. After Gu Zuo was put down, he turned around and carried him to the front again.
Gu Zuo: "..."
Well, this is indeed not afraid of traps or something.
After Gongyi Tianheng sat down, he smiled at the girl and said in a gentle voice, "Please give me some advice."
The girl was also very gentle: "This place is called Xuanji Building, and it is where the news is widely distributed. All the distinguished guests who come here have doubts in their hearts. Although the concubine is not talented, she is willing to solve the doubts for the distinguished guests."
Gu Zuo heard how polite the two of them were, and said: "Since the girl has such confidence, why don't we ask a question and the girl will answer one, how? Just a reminder, okay?"
The girl is really good at talking, and she smiled sweetly: "Okay, your honored guest asks."
Gu Zuo turned his head: Big brother asked
He didn't need to speak, Gongyi Tianheng understood what he meant and nodded at him with a smile.
Gu Zuo turned back and thought about what he wanted to ask later.
Gongyi Tianheng looked at the girl in white, and after a moment of indifference, said, "This is a city citizen in Zhongcheng, but it has passed the closing time of the road of heaven, and was left on the edge of this place. Descendants of mainland warriors?"
The girl in white showed a slight surprise on her face, and then tapped her head: "As expected of Tianjiao, Gongyi's words are good, most of the city residents in Guizhong City are descendants of the remnants of many groups."
Soon, the girl explained the matter in great detail.
After the road of the chosen day was closed, anyone who could not reach Guizhong City within the time limit would not be able to leave this place, and could only survive here.
Because the smoke is too thick, it not only affects the cultivation of warriors, but also damages the lives of warriors. Countless strong men have exhausted their life and died. Warriors who are weaker than them naturally die faster. Later, when there were only a few peerless powerhouses left, before their lifespan was about to end, they forcibly sacrificed in this last ancient city for their children and grandchildren, leaving behind such a city that blocked the smoke, And in this city, because of the legacy of those peerless powerhouses, the citizens of the city can cultivate if they have the aptitude, but once they have achieved transcendence, they will no longer be able to progress.
Generations have passed, and the warriors in this ancient city are also multiplying. Later, there are always some of the warriors in each generation who have no time to leave. If you are lucky, you can rush to this ancient city. If you are unlucky, they will die elsewhere. The warriors who came to this ancient city could naturally only stay here, their strength could not improve, and they often fell three hundred years later, before the road to heaven was opened again.
However, the people in this ancient city are still used to the life here. They don't know what the outside world is like. From the time of birth, they only thought that the most powerful martial artist was the one with the highest life span. Live for three hundred years.
Only the city lord of each generation knows that every three hundred years, they have the opportunity to leave this place, but not everyone is suitable to leave. Once they leave rashly, they don’t know what the outcome will be… The long-established family, because of various interests and many other reasons, will eventually leave, and it is only those young talents with infinite prospects.
The girl in the white shirt said softly: "Besides this, there are a small number of people who came here to guard when the road to the election of heaven was opened by the orders of their respective families and sects in the Central Continent. In this way, they can monitor the selection of heaven for the family. The road can also allow future generations to contact the geniuses sent by the marginal continents early, and when the road of choice is opened again, they can recruit the citizens of the ancient city who have already been selected and send them back to their own forces. Living in a harsh environment, and fighting against many monsters and mutant creatures all year round, no matter what their qualifications, they are all powerful, and they are the best talents needed by many forces..."
Gu Zuo blurted out: "... war slave?"
The girl in the white shirt nodded again: "The city people here are the best kind of war slaves. Every three hundred years, there are Tianjiao who come here to choose from the Central Continent."
Therefore, Prince Zhou, the Third Prince, and Young Master Xin did not come back to the Heavenly Chosen Road because they wanted to make it difficult for the people from the marginal continents. In fact, they chose war slaves mainly from the city's citizens. For the geniuses in the marginal continent, they could choose them, but if they couldn't choose, they had to choose some coercion and inducements, so that they could complete the tasks they needed to complete.
Gu Zuo frowned: "There are many war slaves on the Central Continent?"
The girl in the white shirt said softly: "The rules of the Central Continent are strict, and under the command of Tianjiao, there are three subordinate classes. The first class is the guest, the second class is the retainer, and the third class is the slave. The war slaves fight for the Tianjiao, and they are the slaves with the highest status. ."
Gu Zuo lowered his eyes silently.
Ke Qing and his retainers are very normal, slaves are not used to it... But he has nothing to say. In order to keep secrets before, his elder brother accepted slaves, and he made a medicine slave himself... To put it bluntly, it is better to adapt to this world. .
I don't know if he will see anything that will refresh his three views after he arrives in the Central Continent... Forget it, as long as he doesn't think too much about himself, it's fine to be his elder brother's "Azuo".
Gongyi Tianheng was obviously more adaptable than Gu Zuo, he just nodded slightly, then thought about it, but didn't ask any more questions.
After a cup of tea, he raised his eyes and said, "I don't know how to pass this city and go to the Central Continent?"
The girl in the white shirt smiled gently: "Just walk through this ancient city and you will know."
Gongyi Tianheng pondered for a while: "I don't know where the girl is, but is there a booklet introduced by the mainland forces that I can wait and see?"
The girl in the white shirt seemed to have long expected that he would ask this question, and she already had an extra booklet, about an inch thick, and handed it to Gongyi Tianheng: "This thing is given to the son of Gongyi, and the son is also invited. Take it."
Gongyi Tianheng took it seriously, and then he finally smiled: "Then the last question."
The girl in the white shirt said, "My son, may I ask you."
Gongyi Tianheng's eyes were deep and deep: "I don't know why the girl is so... graciously entertained me?"
The white-shirted girl's expression did not change at all, and another post appeared on her hand, which was sent over: "Anyone who is a genius of Tianjiao level, I have always taken the initiative to make good friends, and since we have made good friends, I will naturally release goodwill and let Tianjiao know. This is the benefit. Gongyi's innate peak state, not only can escape the famous Binglong army of the third prince of the Zhao Kingdom, but also force him to humiliate... The person who can make Tianjiao lose face is naturally Tianjiao."
Gongyi Tianheng took the post and unfolded it.
The girl in white said slowly: "This post is entrusted to my Xuanji Building by the third prince, and ordered to wait for the son to come, and then send this thing to the son..."
Gongyi Tianheng's mouth curved slightly: "A dated battle?"
The girl in white smiled and said, "That's right. At noon on the thirteenth day, under the Great Smoke Tower in Guizhong City, the third prince made an appointment with the son of Gongyi to end the previous festival." She turned her head slightly, "I don't know if the son... no?"
Gongyi Tianheng raised his eyebrows: "It's natural to challenge."
After he finished speaking, a golden-red power suddenly appeared in his hand, and then the power burned quietly like a flame, and the posts in that power suddenly vanished into nothing.
Not even the smoke was left behind.
After asking a few more innocuous questions, Gongyi Tianheng stood up holding Gu Zuo, and before Gu Zuo felt embarrassed, he threw him on his back.
Gu Zuo walked out with him, wondering in his heart: "Why don't you ask more about the situation in the Central Continent?"
Gongyi Tianheng said: "You must also distinguish the information from the inquiry, otherwise, once it is wrong, it will be very disadvantageous to your own judgment and choice."
Gu Zuo lowered his voice: "Big brother means that they may be cheating?"
Gongyi Tianheng shook his head and said, "If it is this Xuanji Building, I'm sure it won't, but if it is concealed, or some biased words are added without a trace..."
Gu Zuo understood in seconds.
The two said no more, they have now found an inn and moved in soon.
None of them mentioned the matter of the third prince, because it was unnecessary to mention it. The noon on the thirteenth day is actually noon tomorrow, and then just accept the challenge.
But what Gu Zuo didn't understand was that the third prince... didn't he set any traps? Does he not care that so many subordinates have been killed
No, not right.
Even if he doesn't care about Binglongjun's life, he will definitely care about his own face.
At this moment, Gu Zuo seemed to suddenly realize again.
Perhaps, it was to save face that he had to challenge at this time and place... and... Gu Zuo shook his head silently.
Anyway, he doesn't understand Tianjiao's heart, maybe this is some inexplicable pride.
All night.
In the early morning of the second day, both Gu Zuo and Gongyi Tianheng opened their eyes together.
Since they got here, the two of them were always next to each other, so Gu Zuo jumped out of Gongyi Tianheng's arms, turned his head and climbed onto his back, which was a matter of course.
After washing up, Gongyi Tianheng carried Gu Zuo on his back and quickly ran to the place where the big smoke tower was.
