Chapter 224: Drinking, Laughing, and Surviving the Thunder Tribulation [First Update, Please Subscribe]
Xijun, Liangzhou City.
Ding Jiudeng looked back at the alley where no one was seen. The man in the bamboo hat had been thrown away and was left in the alley.
Although the shopkeeper was not very kind to him, one should not forget his roots. If the shopkeeper had not taken him in, Ding Jiudeng might have starved to death.
"What does this man want to do with the shopkeeper?"
Ding Jiudeng touched his bald head and thought for a while.
Then, he walked away, as he felt he needed to inform the shopkeeper.
The sky over Liangzhou City was somewhat gloomy, as if clouds filled with lead were hanging over the sky, making it depressing and cramped.
Ding Jiudeng glanced at the sky which was gradually getting darker.
Ran to the outskirts of Liangzhou City.
He actually knew where the shopkeeper sold the goods. Once, when the officials from Liangzhou City were conducting a search, the shopkeeper took the officials to the place where the goods were sold.
After running for a few miles to the suburbs, I saw the shadow of a mansion.
The mansion was somewhat run-down, with no servants or guards.
The shopkeeper was simply reluctant to spend money to hire guards for this shabby mansion. He was so stingy that he even took away Ding Jiudeng's salary for three months.
Pushing open the door of the mansion, Ding Jiudeng stepped inside.
However, what Ding Jiudeng didn't know was that after he entered the mansion, a black shadow also quickly rushed in.
The mansion was not big, and Ding Jiudeng ran to the place where the shopkeeper piled up the goods with ease.
However, after running two steps, Ding Jiudeng suddenly realized that if he went over now, wouldn't the shopkeeper have another reason to deduct his wages?
However, at most the fourth month's salary will be deducted. Since I won't see any money anyway, it doesn't make any difference.
So Ding Jiudeng quickened his pace.
There was no sign of the shopkeeper at the place where the goods were piled up, and even...
The goods had never been moved and were covered with a layer of dust.
Ding Jiudeng was stunned. Didn’t the shopkeeper say he was here to ship the goods?
Suddenly.
Behind Ding Jiudeng, a black shadow flew past, and Ding Jiudeng caught the trace of the black shadow belatedly.
He was stunned for a moment, and after about two or three breaths, the hairs on his body stood up.
He raised his hand, patted his chest, and said belatedly, "How terrible."
I just felt that this mansion was eerie and scary, and I didn't want to stay there for long. If I couldn't find the owner, I would go back to Yongcheng Pawnshop.
However, after Ding Jiudeng ran two steps, countless Buddhist sounds surged in his mind, as if the sounds of bells, cymbals, drums and chimes exploded in his ears.
His mind seemed to have become much clearer, and he seemed to hear faint wailing and crying...
Why are there so many voices in my head? Ding Jiudeng patted his bald head.
He turned his head and looked towards the mansion, only to see that there seemed to be a thick black air spreading in that direction, and the black air contained extremely strong resentment.
Ding Jiudeng was stunned, hesitated for a moment, stood up and walked in that direction.
Shortly after he left.
A figure wearing a bamboo hat appeared in his place.
There was a hint of doubt on the face beneath the bamboo hat.
"Strange fluctuations... a bit like a cultivator. Is this guy... a cultivator?"
Murmured.
The man in the bamboo hat tapped the ground with his toes and disappeared silently.
There seemed to be a faint golden light flickering in Ding Jiudeng's eyes, and his bald head seemed to be glowing in the gradually darkening night.
There were still many voices ringing in his mind, affecting Ding Jiudeng.
He went in the direction of the black air.
We arrived at the source of the black air, the kitchen.
However, he discovered that there was a secret door behind the kitchen, and the strong resentment came from the secret door.
At first, Ding Jiudeng was quite scared, but when he finished staring at the secret door and came to his senses, the fear had almost disappeared.
He put his ear to the secret door.
I heard some whispers behind the door, and it seemed that the shopkeeper was laughing.
"After this transaction, you have to be more careful. The officials in Liangzhou City have noticed it. You'd better buy goods from other cities."
"I can buy from other cities, but... it's a bit troublesome, and the cost is a bit higher. The price..."
“The price won’t let you down.”
The voice resounded, with a unique accent that didn't seem to be from Liangzhou City.
Afterwards, I seemed to hear the sound of someone banging on the iron cage, accompanied by bursts of terrified crying.
Ding Jiudeng was startled, and seemed to feel that his resentment had become even stronger.
The sounds of bells, cymbals, drums and Buddhist chants in his mind became more and more intense.
It gave him a splitting headache.
The man in the bamboo hat appeared silently behind Ding Jiudeng, and Ding Jiudeng was unaware of it.
He placed his palm on Ding Jiudeng's back, exerted gentle force, and released a burst of strength.
Suddenly...
Ding Jiudeng broke open the secret door and stumbled in.
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
Behind the secret door is a spacious and huge hollowed-out secret room, but the room seems very cramped and depressing.
The sharp-faced and monkey-faced shopkeeper was stunned. He saw Ding Jiudeng and the familiar bald head, and immediately let out a shrill sound.
"Why are you here?!"
There was a clanging sound, that was the sound of the blade being drawn out.
Ding Jiudeng stood up straight and looked around, only to find that there were torches lit in the secret room, filled with densely packed iron cages, and in the iron cages, were imprisoned... ragged children.
Ding Jiudeng was startled. The Buddhist chanting in his mind became louder and louder, and his bald head was faintly glowing.
However, Ding Jiudeng didn't care about all this at the moment. He stared at the many iron cages and the children in the cages. He seemed to vaguely see his former self.
The sharp-faced and monkey-faced shopkeeper seemed a little furious.
However, the people around him had already drawn their knives, and Ding Jiudeng was able to see the appearance of these people clearly with the help of the firelight.
People from the Peacock Kingdom!
These people were holding scimitars and wearing the clothes of the Great Zhou people, but the strange faces unique to the people of the Peacock Kingdom betrayed them.
Ding Jiudeng looked at the shopkeeper in disbelief. He finally understood what the shopkeeper meant by the goods.
How did the shopkeeper become so wealthy that he could rival a city?
As if they had discovered Ding Jiudeng, the children in the cages began to cry and shout. They banged the cages frantically. Although their clothes were tattered, there was a gleam of hope in their eyes.
Ding Jiudeng just felt like something exploded in his mind.
Countless golden lights spread all over his body.
There was an invisible airflow rapidly gathering on his body.
Ding Jiudeng's body was trembling slightly.
The disbelief on his face had not yet disappeared.
He subconsciously put his palms together, and he didn't know why he did that.
A merchant from the Peacock Kingdom revealed a cold look, and suddenly raised the scimitar in his hand, ready to chop it off at Ding Jiudeng's bald head.
but……
The whistling sound was resounding.
With a hissing sound.
A pair of silver scissors tore through the air and pierced the man.
In the dark.
A figure wearing a bamboo hat walked out.
The scissors were stained with blood and floated in the air...
The sharp-faced and monkey-faced shopkeeper was terrified.
"Most of these are children who lost their parents in the war."
"Many scums always wear bright and beautiful clothes and walk in the darkness..."
The man in the bamboo hat looked at the shopkeeper and said calmly.
He came to Ding Jiudeng's side and looked at him with a strange look.
Did this Yongcheng Pawnshop clerk ever get a chance to become an immortal? He turned out to be a cultivator.
The words of the man in the bamboo hat made Ding Jiudeng's eyes fluctuate, and then his face twisted slightly, even with a bit of grief and anger.
Ding Jiudeng knew very well how pitiful and painful it was for children who lost their parents in war.
Because he had experienced it before.
That kind of loneliness...
And these people actually treated these children as commodities.
Just because these children have no one to rely on, can they be allowed to act recklessly?
Ding Jiudeng's bald head glowed slightly.
Countless spiritual energies gathered behind him and transformed into a golden Buddha shadow.
Ding Jiudeng stared at the shopkeeper and the killers.
Suddenly it calmed down.
He put his palms together, his bald head was clear and bright, and he spoke slowly.
"I advise you to be kind."
…
Beiluo, Xishan.
Trial Tower.
Many practitioners gathered under the trial tower. At this moment, many practitioners felt the powerful aura released from the tower, and expressions of shock appeared on their faces.
The oppressive atmosphere caused many people to tremble slightly.
People who practice Buddhism are more sensitive to breath.
Overlord and Lu Changkong both came quickly on the snow.
Nie Zhangqing was surprised when he saw Overlord, but he didn't care too much.
Jiang Li and Chi Lian also saw Overlord. What surprised them most was that after Overlord, Luo Cheng and Tan Tai Xuan also came rushing over.
Jiang Li, who had just said goodbye to Tan Tai Xuan, saw Tan Tai Xuan and his expression became a little strange.
Tan Tai Xuan smiled at Jiang Li.
What a coincidence.
Everyone was curious about who made the breakthrough.
However, they could not observe it from outside the Trial Tower.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
And inside the trial tower.
Several people looked at the sitting figure in surprise, only to see that the aura of the figure was constantly condensing, and the spiritual energy was sweeping in like a funnel.
Ning Zhao stood up from the mat.
Jing Yue held the Jingtian Sword with a solemn expression on his face. Ni Yu, Bai Qingniao and Nie Shuang were also looking at him with curiosity and amazement.
far away.
On the futon.
The sloppy scholar had his scholarly robes fluttering in the wind, and his sharp hair was flying in the air, blown by the spiritual energy.
A look of shock appeared on Ning Zhao's face.
"Is this... going to break through the body storage and enter the sky lock?"
She didn't expect that Kong Nanfei could achieve such a level. You know, when Kong Nanfei entered the trial tower, his body storage was not yet perfect.
With such a rapid breakthrough, can he maintain his foundation in cultivation?
Can you succeed in entering the Heavenly Lock?
No one expected that the first person to enter the Sky Lock would be Kong Nanfei.
After all, Kong Nanfei's strength was not ranked among the many hidden treasures before, but now, he has surpassed everyone and has become the first one to impact the Heaven Locking Realm! Above the sky.
Lu Fan floated in front of the origin of the plane.
He raised his hand, his five fingers danced, and formation runes flew around, as if he was making up something.
Rune chains that seemed to represent order were entwined from the origin of the plane.
There are three thunder punishments in total.
The current Wuhuang Continent can only endure this kind of thunder punishment.
And this is the Heaven Locking Realm Thunder Punishment set by Lu Fan.
It can only be triggered by impacting the Heaven Locking Realm. Practitioners who break through by forming a golden elixir can only trigger the most common thunder punishment.
Lu Fan finished writing and smiled.
The figure suddenly disappeared and returned to the second floor of the Baiyujing Pavilion.
Because he had experienced thunder punishment before, Lu Fan did not encounter too many obstacles in writing thunder punishment, although he was not very familiar with it.
Strictly speaking, the double thunder punishment is a castrated version of the triple thunder punishment, and its power is much reduced.
When the majestic energy between heaven and earth began to condense.
Lu Fan then understood who was trying to reach the Heaven Locking Realm.
It turned out to be Kong Nanfei.
Lu Fan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
He thought it might be Ning Zhao, but unexpectedly, it was Kong Nanfei.
"Is it because of the enlightenment of the fifth level of the origin of the Heavenly Dao, coupled with the "Song of Righteousness", that he has gained some enlightenment, so he is ready to take advantage of the opportunity to break through in one fell swoop?"
Lu Fan leaned against the wheelchair, tapping his fingers lightly on it.
Can it work? Even Lu Fan is not sure.
because……
It's too early.
The time span from Kong Nanfei's breakthrough to the Tiansuo realm was too short. Kong Nanfei didn't even have time to consolidate the changes brought about by breaking through the Ti Zang realm, as well as the strength brought about by his increased strength.
The current breakthrough gave Lu Fan a feeling that he was being too hasty.
Therefore, Lu Fan didn't quite understand whether it would succeed.
However, since Kong Nanfei dared to break through, he might have some confidence.
On the island in the middle of the lake.
Mo Tianyu seemed to sense something as well.
He looked towards the West Mountain, the towering white jade tower, and he sensed the righteous spirit...
Is Kong Nanfei breaking through?
He took out the tortoise shell and the bronze treasure and let out a breath.
Considering his friendship with Kong Nanfei, he felt that he had to tell Kong Nanfei's fortune.
Mo Tianyu knelt in front of the Master's tomb and sat upright.
The copper treasure was stuffed into the tortoise shell and swayed gently, with clanging sounds ringing out.
Then, three bronze treasures fell from it and landed on the ground, piling up.
"It's a bad omen."
Mo Tianyu's pupils couldn't help but shrink.
…
Western Hills.
The door to the Trial Tower opened.
Ning Zhao led Ni Yu, Bai Qingniao and others out of the Trial Tower.
At this time, everyone realized that the one who broke through... was actually Kong Nanfei, who had never left the tower.
"Is it that sloppy scholar?"
"Kong Nanfei, Master Kong Xiu's grandson!"
"Is Kong Nanfei going to inherit the Master's glory?"
Many practitioners were extremely surprised.
Overlord frowned. It was Kong Nanfei? Jiang Li was shocked. He knew Kong Nanfei's strength very well. How could he reach the level of breaking through the realm of heavenly lock in such a short time? What happened? Meng Haoran's face was red with excitement. How could he not be excited when his master was going to break through the realm and become the first person in the world to reach the realm of heavenly lock? Once Kong Nanfei succeeded, the name of Haoran Sect would surely spread throughout the world! "Master, it must succeed!"
Meng Haoran clenched his fists.
Boom! Suddenly.
Everyone raised their heads. The feeling of oppression, dullness and oppression made everyone breathless.
Ning Zhao and Nie Zhangqing looked at the thick black clouds rolling in.
This is... Thunder Punishment! Young Master had experienced it once before! And now, Kong Nanfei had also triggered Thunder Punishment...
Is he really going to break the Heaven Lock? Can Kong Nanfei succeed? Ning Zhao, Nie Zhangqing, Ba Wang and other powerful people at the Five Zang Perfection level have complicated emotions.
On the one hand, they hope Kong Nanfei can succeed, but on the other hand, they don't want Kong Nanfei to succeed.
Because, in their hearts, they also have the desire to become the first to impact the Heaven Locking Realm.
But now, this opportunity has been seized by someone else.
Boom! In the White Jade Trial Tower.
The heavy door swung open.
Kong Nanfei was dressed in a sloppy scholar's robe and had a solemn expression on his face as he walked out of the trial tower step by step.
For a moment, he seemed to have become the focus of the world.
Everyone's eyes were on him.
No one spoke, no one greeted.
because……
Everyone knows that Kong Nanfei’s journey to break the Heavenly Lock has just begun.
There seemed to be a pool of thunder in the dark clouds in the sky, with lightning rolling in it.
Kong Nanfei's slovenly scholar's robe fluttered in the wind. He looked up at the thunderclouds in the sky.
He was somewhat shocked in his heart; that was the might of heaven.
Can a human being contend with the might of heaven? However, after the shock, there comes the burning heat...
Why can't humans... contend with the might of heaven?! Kong Nanfei thought, and couldn't help laughing, stepping on the thick snow.
The falling snow had already stopped.
Kong Nanfei's thin body stood on the flat ground of the Trial Tower.
Everyone had already quickly rushed out and left the area.
"Haoran! Do you have any wine?!"
Kong Nanfei, who was standing, suddenly turned his head and looked at Meng Haoran in the distance and said.
Meng Haoran was stunned.
He was about to pass the tribulation, and he still asked if there was any wine? However, Meng Haoran did not ask, but picked up the jar of wine that had been prepared long ago and threw it to Kong Nanfei.
Kong Nanfei's eyes lit up.
The scholar's robe fluttered.
He caught the jar of wine, slapped the seal open with one hand, and poured the wine into his mouth. The wine splashed out and the sound of laughter rang out.
A huge vortex of spiritual energy swirled around Kong Nanfei's body.
Above his head.
The dense thunder could no longer contain itself and crashed down.
It hit the sloppy scholar Kong Nanfei who was drinking happily! PS: Please recommend and monthly votes~ (End of this chapter)
