Chapter 300 Strange Stone
Seeing that the other party was always cautious, Shi Chungan glared and said, "Why do you always have a prejudice against me? How can I deceive you? You give me one divine fire after another. You have absorbed the real divine fire into your body. Can I dig it out?"
Gu Lianni thought about it and decided to agree.
So the two of them got out their writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone and wrote a letter each.
Shi Chun finished writing first and made a simple stone lock, which was actually just a hollowed-out stone the size of half a palm. He stuffed the letter in through the small hole, sealed the hole, made a mark that only he and Wu Jinliang understood, and then called Chu Jingtang and Chen Wuji over.
After handing the letter to Chu Jingtang, he told the two of them, "You two go to the exit, try to avoid the sight of the ten elders who are guarding, and give the letter to Wu Jinliang. After giving the letter to Wu Jinliang, you can read it if you want, but you are not allowed to open it privately or peek on the way. There are marks on it."
Sending two people to deliver a letter is also a precautionary measure. In case of any changes, at least one person may escape and come back to report. Otherwise, we won't know what happened. When there are sufficient manpower, it is natural to seek safety.
Otherwise, why bring so many people here? They are just here to eat and do nothing.
"Okay." Chu and Chen agreed. Before leaving, they glanced at Gu Lianni, who was holding a pen and thinking not far away, looking as if she was racking her brains.
Not long after the two of them left, Gu Lianni, who was relieved, also put down her pen, picked up the letter and handed it to Shi Chun, asking, "Hey, is this okay?"
"Not impossible..." Shi Chun muttered after receiving the letter. How should I describe it? It's hard to comment. It's a bit stumbling, or maybe it's too cautious. It doesn't seem to be talking about such an important matter. So he raised his head and asked, "Is this how you usually write to your elders?"
Gu Lianni said helplessly: "Why are you writing to the elders? I have never written to the elders before."
Well, Shi Chun crumpled the letter into a ball and rubbed it into ashes, then walked to the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and rewrote it while saying, "Be simple and direct, just make things clear. Elders are elders, and things are things. There is no need to hesitate and explain countless times, and there is no need to worry about it. Your elders are smart people, and they will know what to do if they make things clear."
Soon, he finished writing and handed the letter to Gu Lianni.
After reading it, Gu Lianni had to admit that it was simple, direct and refreshing, but she still said with disdain, "The handwriting is really bad, it really comes from the Land of Exile..."
While saying this, he took out a jade slip and copied the contents of the letter into the jade slip.
There was no way. Unlike Wu Jinliang's side, among a group of elders, Elder Jin could not take out the letter to read it, as the letter paper was not convenient to read in secret with a spell.
Afterwards, she searched hard among the surrounding mountains. Gu Lianni tried to find a better-looking gift for her elder Jin.
After looking at it for a while, Shi Chun couldn't help scratching his head and thought, Miss, we have important things to do.
Later, he couldn't help it anymore, so he flew out and helped himself. He randomly found a red stone of the right size and shouted, "Here, I found it."
Gu Lianni flew over upon hearing this and asked curiously, "Let me see what it looks like?"
Shi Chun offered it with both hands, "Look, it's pretty good."
Gu Lianni was dumbfounded when she saw it. She subconsciously looked down and saw an ordinary stone. There were stones everywhere on the ground. The corners of her mouth twitched as she said, "You are too deceiving. You probably didn't even choose it. You just picked it up randomly. The elders of various sects are watching. How can you give such a gift? Do you really think the elders of various sects are fools?"
Shi Chun questioned, "Aren't you worrying too much? Do you really think you are giving gifts to your elders? What if the elders of various sects see it? Who knows what your elders like? You say your elders like this, and outsiders can only believe it, but there is no way to verify it.
The devil is already well-informed. What can he do even if he knows you are up to something? Are you still afraid that others will find out and verify it in the future?
Big girl, listen to me, give me something simple and casual, and say that you like this gift. You don't need to say anything else, and the elder will know that this gift is of high quality. Also, if you keep dragging it out like this, aren't you afraid that the divine fire will be taken away? Just make a base and hide the jade slip inside. "
It seemed that what he said made sense. Gu Lianni hesitated to speak, but she still felt that the gift was a bit too rough.
Shi Chun was too lazy to talk to her and had to do it himself. He turned around and squatted on the ground, put down the stone, then pulled out the dagger, squatted on the ground and made some clicks, then picked up another stone to make a base. After repeatedly matching and trimming the two sides, he put away the dagger, picked up the set of stone toys and piled them directly into Gu Lianni's arms.
Then he lifted the stone and pointed it at the groove of the base, "Okay, just put the jade slip in."
Gu Lianni sighed, and finally took out the jade slip and put it in. Shi Chun immediately put a stone on it to suppress it.
That's how it was settled. Everyone then called their own people. Gu Lianni still needed to make some preparations, at least she had to talk about it with Yuan Yao and the others.
Shi Chun had nothing to prepare. The Siding Sect went back to the Iron Forest to search for the sacred fire safely. He could use it when he wanted to, and throw it aside when he didn't want to. Although the Mingshan Sect had a leader, the leader also had to follow his lead, so he had the final say.
To a certain extent, he has now unified the forces under his command.
The two sides soon set out together...
Near the exit, Chu and Chen found where Wu Jinliang and others were hiding.
Wu Jinliang slid down from the upper passage after hearing the call. He was happy when he saw the two of them, "Hey, why are you here? What's up?"
He guessed that Chuntian had sent them with some instructions, so he was wondering why they didn't tell him beforehand and why they had to send these two people on a special trip.
Chu Jingtang directly took out the stone and gave it to him, "This is a letter from the boss."
After getting the stone, Wu Jinliang immediately checked the surface marks of the stone. This made Chu and Chen look at each other. The boss did not fool them and really made a secret mark.
After confirming that the stone had not been secretly opened, Wu Jinliang cast a spell to explore the inside of the stone and found that it was paper. He then crushed it with a snap, took out the paper inside and spread it out to check. Hmm, it was obviously Chuntian's handwriting. Everyone's handwriting was quite stylish.
After reading the letter, he probably understood why Shi Chun didn't tell him before, because Xiao Sheng and Wu Hong had not returned at that time, and had not brought back any new news about the divine fire. It was still unknown when this step of the plan could be implemented, and perhaps he had to do other things first.
After thinking for a while, he said to the two of them, "The boss said they are no longer there, so you should stay here for the time being. When Gu Lianni and the others come, go with them when they leave."
As he said this, he showed the letter to them. Lao Changtai also stretched his head to read it, but Fang Zicheng was still observing from above and did not come down.
They were confused and uncertain after reading the above content.
At this moment, Fang Zicheng's voice suddenly came from the passage above, "Someone is coming. It seems that the people from Qianyan Sect are here again."
Wu Jinliang immediately grabbed the letter and rubbed it into ashes, then quickly ran to the entrance of the cave and quietly looked out.
On the highest peak of the mountain range, ten elders who were sitting cross-legged in meditation looked at the two men in blue holding the divine fire and descending in front of them. Their faces looked a little gloomy. It was these two men again, the ones they had seen before, and they were here again.
What’s going on? Are they coming more frequently than the people from Mingshan Sect?
The ten elders all looked at the group of disciples chasing after them in the air. They were from unknown sects and all of them were angry but dared not say a word.
According to the rules, the ten elders watched coldly, without saying a word or intervening, but they all vaguely realized that the Divine Fire Covenant in this world seemed a little abnormal.
The elders who had come here to take charge in the past were basically all from their sects, and they had never heard of such a situation.
There was no choice, the group of people in the air finally had to turn away and disappear from everyone's sight.
But he did not disappear from Wu Jinliang's sight, so he chased after him.
After he was able to avoid the eyes and ears of the main peak, he cast a spell again and shouted, "Everyone, please stay..."
After the people who were holding back their anger stopped, Wu Jinliang came forward and introduced himself and greeted them. The process was exactly the same as last time, except that this time he had a new accomplice and brought Fang Zicheng out to practice it personally.
This is how Dong Jiuyuan trains new people.
Some experiences do need to be passed on and taught. Only after having experienced it and felt the effects personally can you get started with ease and ease.
The result was good, and we successfully got the new clue address of the divine fire.
After saying goodbye to this group of frustrated people, Wu Jinliang did not rush to find Shi Chun this time, but returned to the previous cave to wait.
I know it's useless to be anxious. Shi Chunxin has already said that they have left the original place. He specifically mentioned this because he didn't leave any road signs. I can't find them even if I want to. I can only wait passively...
In a molten lava area with many cliffs, two figures rose into the air from the lava. A masked man with his head and face covered was holding a ball of red flame in his hand, and he was accompanied by a woman with disheveled hair. The red light was particularly conspicuous even in this red environment.
Among the people who were searching everywhere, someone found it immediately.
"The divine fire, it's the divine fire!" someone shouted.
"Someone stole our sacred fire!" someone shouted angrily.
Boom, boom! Someone was knocking on the mountain to alert the police, which startled the people who appeared and they all jumped up and chased after him.
Riding the Wind Scale and fleeing quickly, the woman with disheveled hair looked back from time to time. It was the modified Gu Lianni.
The masked man next to her was Tong Mingshan. He concealed his face because he was afraid of being recognized. He didn't want to be recognized by the people chasing him, nor did he want to be recognized by the elders at the exit.
Originally, Shi Chun had no plan to send out his own people. He was going to let Gu Lianni carry the divine fire to lure people. But after looking at the molten environment, he thought it might be more reliable to let Tong Mingshan's Chi Yan to lure people.
There are ways to play without conditions, but if you have conditions, it is naturally better to be safe.
Gu Lianni didn't care. She felt that she could be obsessed with chasing Chi Yan in the ice field, so wasn't it normal to chase Bing Yan in this molten land? Who could say for sure what was going on in the Divine Fire Domain?
But then again, after the roles changed, she was suddenly being chased by someone and she found that the feeling of being a thief was quite exciting. She was very excited and in high spirits.
And from the place full of cliffs and steep cliffs where no one had left, another group of people flew down, and people from Shudao Mountain and Mingshan Sect appeared.
The members of Mingshan Sect were fine as they were already used to this.
The mood of the people in Shudaoshan is particularly different, which is also the feeling after the role reversal. What's more, the person who deceived them before is now right next to them and has become their accomplice. However, the feeling of doing bad things is indeed different and exciting.
At a command from the leaders of both sides, the troops from both sides dispersed and searched everywhere.
With no one around, Yuan Yao and Pang Hou looked at each other, then at Shi Chun. Yuan Yao asked, "Now it's up to you."
Before leaving, Gu Lianni told the two about Shi Chun's secret technique, and also instructed them on how to use the Locking Yuan Array to cooperate with Shi Chun to capture the divine fire.
Of course, this secret will not spread widely, and it is told to the two of them because they are trustworthy.
Shi Chun looked around, then lit a stick of incense and whispered to the two of them, "Wait here, I'll take a look at the situation first."
The two of them nodded and stared at the incense in Shi Chun's hand, as if trying to see what kind of flower it was. What Gu Lianni said was really too magical.
Shi Chun flew into the air on the wind scale, activated the power of his right eye, and searched everywhere in the air. It didn't take too long before he found something unusual under the magma. After locking the location, Shi Chun returned, brought Yuan Yao and the others over, and pointed out the location and approximate depth.
Yuan Yao immediately summoned twelve disciples from Shudao Mountain, handed the twelve iron towers to them respectively, and sank them into the molten lava together. Pang Hou followed.
When Pang Hou returned again and shouted that it was okay, Yuan Yao immediately activated the compass in his hand.
The Locking Yuan Formation locked onto a small area, leaving the foreign objects underground with almost no room to escape or maneuver. The people of Shudao Mountain were indeed fierce, and after a brief rumble under the magma, the matter was over.
When Pang Hou emerged from the magma again, he was holding a red flame in his hand, exactly the same as Tong Mingshan's.
Pang Hou was excited, but looked at Shi Chun with a somewhat resentful look. According to the distribution rules agreed upon before, not only this flower, but also the next two flowers would belong to the Mingshan Sect, and then it would be normal that I would get one and you would get one.
Shi Chun understood and smiled slightly.
Yuan Yao was also very excited. He personally experienced the sharpness of the cooperation between the two factions. Finding the sacred fire had become so easy. It was simply unimaginable. If this continued, would he still have to worry about finding the sacred fire in the future?
Of course, he also wanted this divine fire, but he no longer cared whether to give it to Shi Chun or not. He now felt that this cooperation was totally worth it, and he was glad that Shi Chun was determined to cooperate with him.
Only then did he truly believe that Shi Chun’s previous so-called cooperation had not deceived them, and that the Ice Dragon was indeed an accident.
He felt that Shudao Mountain would have unprecedented gains this time.
Yuan Yao turned the compass in his hand and put away the Locking Yuan Formation. After the twelve people who had set up the formation under the molten lava had all returned with their magic tools, he smiled at Shi Chun for the first time, "Brother Chun, we can't stay here for long. Let's hurry to the next place first and try to clear the next point before our uncle finds us."
Shi Chun nodded with a smile, "Okay."
He also did not mention asking the other party to take the divine fire.
However, when he stopped to find the direction, he found an opportunity to whisper a few words to Pang Hou, "I know you want this divine fire... It's strange, I don't know why, among all the people in Shudao Mountain, only Brother Pang makes me feel like I know him well. For Brother Pang's sake, we can postpone our turn to give this divine fire to Shudao Mountain first."
Pang Hou's eyes suddenly lit up and his hands couldn't help but tremble. It felt like the clod of earth in his hands was about to crack.
Shi Chun added: "Although I gave Brother Pang face, whether or not you from Shudao Mountain will give you this divine fire is not something I can decide."
After hearing this, Pang Hou became a little depressed again, and begged in a low voice, "My uncle is back, can you point out that it is for me?"
Shi Chun shook his head. "There is no such clause in the cooperation agreement. I will not interfere in your sect's internal affairs, and you should not interfere in ours, lest you damage the relationship and accuse me of instigating something. Gu Lianni has a deep prejudice against me."
When Pang Hou spoke rudely to Gu Lianni.
Pang Hou sighed and just let out a light sigh.
The group rested for a while, and after the scouts came back to point out the direction, everyone set out again...
On the highest peak of the mountain range near the exit, the ten elders who were sitting cross-legged in meditation under the big pestle suddenly opened their eyes one after another and turned their heads to look, only to see two more people descending from the sky holding the divine fire.
Coming again? It wasn't that long ago that the previous group left, right?
What is this for? You’ve started playing like this, right? What do you think this place is?
The faces of the ten elders were not looking good. Some of them had flashes of anger in their eyes, and even seemed to be about to have an attack.
The one who wanted to get angry was none other than Jin Guiqi, the elder of Shudao Mountain. The reason why he was the most impatient was because he, a disciple of Shudao Mountain, had suffered this loss. Others could watch the fun, but he was here having his scars repeatedly exposed, which was equivalent to being repeatedly stimulated.
Don't be so stimulating.
Just when he was about to yell at the newcomers, he saw that one of the people with long flying hair was a woman. Women attending the meeting were quite rare, and she looked somewhat familiar.
When the person landed, he took a closer look, opened his mouth slightly and remained speechless. He was very familiar with this disheveled woman. She was none other than Gu Lianni, the daughter of the head of their Shudao Mountain.
Gu Lianni turned her head to look at the person in the air, then bowed and gestured to the elders. She did not say anything extra as she did not want to reveal her identity to the pursuers.
What the hell? Elder Jin Guiqi was a little dazed, and then he looked at the masked man holding the red divine fire beside Gu Lianni, and began to show doubt in his eyes. Is our Shudao Mountain also playing this trick?
You learn very quickly!
If this is the case, then it is difficult to condemn it. It does not make sense to eat your own meal and then smash your own pot.
He had participated in the Divine Fire Alliance when he was a disciple before, and he knew how difficult it was for the disciples to run around and compete here. As an elder, even if he could not help much, he could not hold his own disciples back. The sect did not send him here to play such a role.
The anger that he wanted to vent suddenly disappeared without a trace.
He couldn't see any expression on Gu Lianni's face. He looked at the people around Gu Lianni again. Who is this? Which disciple is he? Why are you covering yourself so tightly? You might as well plug the two holes on your eyes.
He didn't know what to be afraid of. He had seen several waves before, and none of them was as timid as Shu Daoshan. Even Gu Lianni had changed her appearance, so he almost didn't recognize her before.
He felt that Shu Daoshan's prestige had been somewhat damaged, and he was a little unhappy.
Of course, overall, they were happy. What did that fiery red divine fire mean? It meant that the disciples of Shudao Mountain had found the divine fire.
The divine fire that Shu Daoshan found on this trip was first given to Gu Lianni. Now even the disciples next to her had the divine fire, so naturally Gu Lianni would have it too.
In this way, the harvest is not small!
He stroked his beard. He had been a little worried about letting this girl lead the team before, but now it seems that she is better than he thought.
He glanced sideways at the group of angry pursuers in the air and raised his brows slightly. Under the current circumstances, it was even more impossible for him to let anyone take action here. If anyone dared to mess around, he wouldn't mind teaching them a lesson himself!
In this situation, he must support his own people.
The other elders were also staring at Gu Lianni. They couldn't even recognize all the disciples of their own sect, so how could they remember the disciples of Shudao Mountain? However, they had impressions of the daughters of the head of Shudao Mountain, and some of them had even seen them many times.
Their ideas are less complicated than Elder Jin Guiqi's, and more direct. It seems that this girl has been tricked into gaining experience, and has also started to play this trick. It seems that she has reaped a lot of rewards. Even her companions have divine fires. There must be at least two divine fires in Shudao Mountain, right?
One by one, it was hard to tell whether there was admiration or envy in their eyes, there was also confusion and worry. It had only been a short time since they came in, but Shu Daoshan had already got at least two flowers, which was a bit too fast.
The group of people in the air who were eager to rush down to snatch the item waited for a while, but it was useless. They could not waste their limited time on this, and in the end they could only leave with hatred.
After all of them disappeared, Gu Lianni formally bowed and said, "Disciple greets Elder Jin."
Then she bowed to the other elders and said, "Gu Lianni greets all the elders."
Tong Mingshan said nothing, but nodded and bowed. This was more than the first or second time he had come to visit, and he was worried that he would be beaten if he showed up again, so he kept a low profile.
If it were in the past, I would never have dreamed that I would do such a crazy thing and dare to act in front of a group of elders from a large weapon refining sect, people that even the leader of the Bailian Sect would not dare to offend.
An elder said slowly: "Gu girl, you have learned bad things."
Jin Guiqi immediately interrupted, "I am not biased towards my own disciples. We will treat other sects equally since we have not interfered with their actions."
The other elders either snorted or smiled.
Jin Guiqi looked at Tong Mingshan and was about to ask who it was when Gu Lianni's action attracted his attention again. He saw Gu Lianni moving out a red stone with a base. What was she trying to do?
Gu Lianni jumped to the top of the mountain, knelt on one knee, and presented the stone with both hands, saying respectfully: "I know that the elder likes this, so after I found this strange stone, I quickly collected it. I just happened to come here and offer it to you. It's just a small token of my appreciation. I hope the elder will not despise it."
Jin Guiqi's eyelids twitched several times.
The other elders also looked at the stone.
An elder asked, "Jin Guiqi, do you still have this hobby?"
Someone else held out his hand and said, "Come, let me see what's so special about this strange stone."
Not only him, but everyone else didn't see what was so strange at first glance, but they all knew that Gu Lianni would not just give a simple stone to her elder as a gift. They guessed that if you look at a mountain from the front, you'll see a peak. You have to find the right angle and appreciate it carefully. They were all curious and wanted to see it.
"A bunch of wild boars who can't eat fine bran, don't waste good things."
Jin Guiqi shouted, grabbed the thing and held it in his hand, not wanting to give it to anyone.
It was impossible for him to show it to other people, because he knew very well that he was a weapon refiner who had refined and melted countless stones. He had no feelings for any strange stones and had no hobby for them.
It couldn't be that this girl suddenly came up with such a magical hobby for me out of nowhere.
The hint was given in such a subtle way, indicating that this stone must have some significance. Whatever this girl had told him, he must of course accept it quickly.
He pressed his hand and cast a spell to investigate, and then he realized that there was something else in the base. It was indeed something special.
The elders sneered. They really looked down upon the idea of picking up a piece of stone and treating it as a treasure. It was the first time they knew that Jin Guiqi had this hobby.
On the other hill, Wu Jinliang, who was lying in a hole and watching, vaguely witnessed the scene of delivering things. He suddenly realized something and couldn't help but screamed, "Fuck, that woman is Gu Lianni. Why did she change her clothes? I almost made a mistake."
He turned around and shouted to Chu Jingtang and Chen Wuji, "You two, people are coming. Get ready and catch up with them to find the boss."
Jin Guiqi, who was sitting cross-legged on the top of the mountain, patted the stone in his hand as a response to Gu Lianni, indicating that he understood.
"Elder, I am busy, so I won't bother you any more."
Gu Lianni stood up, bowed, and took a few steps back to say goodbye. Then her hand movements changed, and a ball of faint silver-blue flame appeared in one palm.
She had no other intention in doing this before leaving, except to show off in front of Elder Jin. It was also what Shi Chun had repeatedly told her to do before, saying that it was to give Elder Jin an explanation.
As expected, he succeeded in obtaining the divine fire! Jin Guiqi raised his eyebrows slightly.
He stroked his beard subconsciously, his brows smiling, and his eyes were full of undisguised admiration as he looked at the girl in front of him.
With his other hand he subconsciously stroked the stone he had just obtained. He found that he had really underestimated this girl before. She was not a canary at all. It was just that he had not given her a chance before. As soon as she was released from the cage, she began to spread her wings and fly high. It was incredible, incredible. It was true that like birds of a feather flock together.
Just take the sophisticated method of giving away the strange stone as an example. The method is very wild and he dares to treat the elders of various factions as blind in public. He is really daring to think and do. Shudao Mountain has a successor!
