Chapter 314
After Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang were invited back to the Ou Mansion, they met Ou Lingruo.
at this time……
When both parties are willing, things develop very quickly.
After Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang were invited back to the Ou Mansion, they met Ou Lingruo.
At this time, Ou Lingruo had obviously received the news and looked radiant.
She warmly welcomed the two of them in. She didn't care what method Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang used to kill the Nascent Soul. He just needed to know that they had the ability to do so.
It is impossible to break the contract. If Ou Ling still has his mind, he will not do such a thing.
So, after some conversation, Ou Lingruo heard that Cheng Hui and the others had no intention of staying any longer, so she simply took them away from the Ou family and headed for the treasure land.
The Ou family's treasure land is located outside the Beizhou city. In order to prevent someone from finding the location of the treasure land based on the whereabouts of the Ou family members, the Ou family dug an underground passage in the Ou Mansion.
Following Ou Lingruo, they opened a cellar from the Ou family's ancestral hall. Looking at the cellar entrance, Cheng Hui was a little speechless.
Although...you put the entrance in the ancestral hall, aren't you afraid that your ancestors will come back and scold you?
Ou Lingruo understood Cheng Hui's expression, and her chest suddenly tightened... To be honest, she had the same expression when she first knew that the entrance was in the ancestral hall.
But that was the decision made by the original ancestor. What could they do? They were also desperate...
So she could only keep a straight face and pretend to be unaware of anything.
Cheng Hui didn't really want to embarrass anyone, so he kept silent. Since no one thought it was a problem, then it probably was..._(:з」∠)_
Entering the underground, the passage twists and turns, and soon they come to a narrow track.
There was a shuttle-shaped car parked on the track. Ou Lingruo and the other two sat on it and put dozens of spirit stones into the driving device.
The shuttle-shaped car started quickly and at an extremely high speed. Cheng Hui could feel that there was almost no spiritual power fluctuation in this shuttle-shaped car. He showed a thoughtful expression. Is this... afraid that the spiritual power fluctuation will attract other people's attention?
That’s a good idea.
Cheng Hui no longer paid attention to anything else and sat quietly in his seat.
The shuttle-shaped car seems to have automatic navigation function and can move on the rails without Ou Lingruo's control.
Sitting in the car, Cheng Hui didn't feel too bumpy, but it reminded him of the feeling of taking the subway.
The shuttle car ran for less than an hour. Judging from the speed of the car, they were not too far from Beizhou City.
Of course, this car runs underground and the route is full of ups and downs. It is undoubtedly difficult to locate the treasure land by using the shuttle car.
After getting out of the car, he followed Ou Lingruo up the stairs to the exit.
Pushing aside the huge rock concealing the door, they found themselves in a dense forest.
Not far away, a gray-white seven-story tower stands quietly there. The outer wall has long been mottled and peeling, giving it an ancient look.
"Two seniors, this is the treasure land of my Ou family." Ou Lingruo puffed out his chest slightly. This pagoda is very magical. As long as you can answer the questions it asks, you can get all kinds of inheritance you want.
Unfortunately... the questions were very tricky and strange, and many of them were things they had never even heard of, so they were unable to make good use of this pagoda.
"Please come in, both of you. There is no danger here, please rest assured." Ou Lingruo took the initiative to step forward and open the door. The bottom floor of the tower was cleaned very cleanly, with several cushions on the ground. There was no stairs leading to the second floor in the entire room.
Ou Lingruo explained, "We haven't found the stairs leading to the second floor. Perhaps they will appear after we pass the test." He couldn't help but smile bitterly. "My family has been holding out here for so long, and we've answered the test countless times. Unfortunately, we still haven't been able to complete that test."
Ou Lingruo had already explained how to open this place on the way, so Cheng Hui was not in a hurry and slowly walked around the room.
The decoration in the room was unremarkable, with nothing worth visiting. The cushions lying on the floor did have a good effect of clearing the mind and improving eyesight, but that was all.
Overall, the first floor of this gray-white pagoda is unremarkable and there is nothing special about it.
"Senior, I'll go out first." Ou Lingruo said goodbye tactfully.
Any disciple of the Ou family who has the opportunity to come here will definitely try the challenge many times.
Unfortunately, the questions here are so varied that even if they are proficient in some of them, they will not be able to answer all of them.
Cheng Hui didn't think he was that great. Not to mention that he was just an ordinary college student, even the old professors in the university would not dare to say that they were proficient in everything.
The trial is only open to one person at a time. Lin Qingyang walked to the door to protect him.
Ou Lingruo said there was no danger here, but unfortunately Lin Qingyang did not trust him. He quietly stood at the door and meditated, completely ignoring Ou Lingruo who was not far away.
Ou Lingruo smiled bitterly to herself. What could she say? Their once pleasant partnership had become hostile due to the probing of their clansmen. Although they hadn't fallen out, the little friendship they had built had been completely extinguished.
Lin Qingyang came here this time with a purely transactional attitude. Ou Lingruo felt regretful, but not too disappointed. After all, the two parties were not from the same world. The other party had the Golden Core cultivation level at such a young age. Such a cultivator was not someone that their Ou family could win over.
Lin Qingyang and Ou Lingruo were waiting outside, while Cheng Hui had already started his first test in the tower.
When he closed the tower door and sat down on a cushion, a large number of characters appeared before his eyes. These characters continued to combine in the air and soon formed a paragraph:
"Now, there is a virtuous person who walks a hundred steps, and a wicked person who walks sixty steps. Now, the wicked person walks a hundred steps ahead, and the virtuous person catches up with him. The wicked person then walks another six hundred steps. Who is ahead? How many steps separate the two? Now, the wicked person walks two hundred steps ahead, and the virtuous person catches up with him. How many steps will it take for him to catch up?"
Cheng Hui: ...ah this?
After all, he is a qualified college student and it's not like he can't even calculate something like this.
So he quickly took out a pen and paper from his sea of consciousness and started calculating, and soon came up with the answer.
The answer to the first question is that the person walking fast is in front, three hundred steps away; the answer to the second question is that the person walking fast needs to catch up for five hundred steps.
As soon as he wrote down the answer, the previous paragraph was quickly obliterated, and another question was formed:
"A bamboo is ten feet high when it is bent, and its end touches the ground. If it is three feet away from its base, how tall is it still?"
Cheng Hui: ...Ah, geometry problem, I can do this one.
He began to calculate in his sea of consciousness again, and soon he got the answer.
I changed again, and this time it became a reasoning question.
Cheng Hui was having a blast answering the questions. He discovered that although the questions were numerous and varied, they weren't particularly difficult.
Of course, ancient people were limited by their environment and certainly would not be as "versatile" as modern people like him.
As a person who has gone through twelve years of education from childhood to adulthood, he expressed fearlessness in the face of these questions!
Not only was he not afraid, but it also reminded him of his senior year of high school... Ah, those green days...
Ahem, I’m getting off topic.
In short, Cheng Hui wrote and calculated bit by bit, and soon he completed the first assessment.
During the half-time break, he still felt a little reluctant to leave.
Among the options provided by the Gray Tower, Cheng Hui chose the formation option. It was as if a meteor fell from the sky and hit his head hard.
Cheng Hui only felt a buzzing sound, his eyes went dark, and he lost consciousness.
——Why didn’t Ou Lingruo say this?
This was Cheng Hui’s only thought before he passed out.
After a long while, Cheng Hui woke up from his coma, touched the bulge on his forehead, and couldn't help but gasp.
His body was now as hard as steel, so what on earth was this thing that could actually make a bump on his head?
No, Ou Lingruo didn't say that. She clearly said that as long as you choose a certain option, starlight will fall... He remembered it clearly, it was starlight, not stars...
So what the hell was that? He threw a rock the size of an egg at his head, and the scary thing was, it actually hit his head.
Cheng Hui looked inside his body and found nothing unusual. It seemed that apart from the big bump on his forehead, the fallen star had not caused any impact on him.
But when he looked at his sea of consciousness, he was stunned.
His sea of consciousness had been transformed by Xiao Tong into a mysterious space. Xiao Tong usually guarded it, so nothing could harm him. But what did he see? What the hell was that little star circling his villa?
How did that thing get in here?
When the old zombie wanted to take over his body, he had to use a lot of effort to squeeze in just a little bit, but this guy actually got in completely?
Cheng Hui was a little confused and couldn't speak for a long time looking at the cheerful little stars.
It wasn't until Xiao Tong ran out and poked his calf that he looked down at Xiao Tong, picked him up, and then pulled the corners of his mouth to the sides.
"What's wrong with you, little guy? How come even your hometown was stolen?"
"Ah!" Xiao Tong's face was distorted by being pulled, and he babbled and stared at him with tears in his eyes.
Cheng Hui felt a little guilty, but soon regained his composure. After all, as a small lord temporarily residing in his sea of consciousness, I don't ask you to defend yourself against the enemy, but at least you can report the news, right? Why did you bring Xingxing in so openly?
After hearing Cheng Hui's accusation, Xiao Tong immediately started waving his hands in a babbling voice. It was not until he finally took out the writing board and explained the situation clearly that Cheng Hui finally understood what was going on.
Generally speaking, this star is beneficial to Cheng Hui and not harmful. Not only will it not harm his body, it can even be a very good seed.
What seeds?
World Seed!
Yes, you read that right, the kind that can grow an entire world.
Moreover, it is a seed that contains a lot of information. As Cheng Hui deciphers it layer by layer, he can learn a lot from it.
According to Xiao Tong's judgment, this thing is very likely a legacy left by an ancient sect in the past, and it is the kind of legacy that is scattered around and looks for successors at random, but it is the kind that is specially left to the disciples of the sect in preparation for the future revitalization of the sect.
This world seed is a truly remarkable treasure. Xiao Tong confirmed that it contained the entire legacy of a sect called the Seven Star Sect. As long as one obtained this world seed, it would be equivalent to obtaining the entire Seven Star Sect.
Although I don’t know whether the Seven Star Sect still exists in the world, as long as you have this seed, you can claim to be the descendant of the Seven Star Sect. Even if the Seven Star Sect still exists, there is no way to deny your identity.
In short, it can be summed up in four words: many benefits.
