sword sentient beings

Chapter 168
"So, we're going to part ways."

Standing by the white lotus pond, the four people who have traveled thousands of miles together are about to part.

After catching the spirit fish, the spirit fish will point out the way to Jianzhou. Everyone will embark on a different journey and finally meet in Jianzhou.The journey here is difficult, and everyone strives to be the first.This is a journey of individuals relying on their own means. Even if they are from the same family, they cannot go together, and it is time for the four of them to do something else.

"Then, see you at the meeting."

Che Sha said seriously: "Brother, we will come to you at the meeting. Although you may be sitting at the front, we can only see your back. But we will always recognize you as the eldest brother..." Halfway through speaking, she suddenly closed her mouth mouth, clasped fists together, Wusuntong saluted as well, and went away with his head down.

Looking at the backs of the two in a hurry, Tang Zhao looked calm and said:

"They're laughing."

……

"Well, I'm laughing at you."

"Aren't you laughing at you?"

"Ha ha--"

Jiang Shenyi showed a smile of "knowing everything", and said: "My tortoise is put in a bag, and outsiders can't see it. Your tortoise shell is too big, so it can only be clamped. Who do you think they are laughing at?"

Tang Zhaozheng was holding a tortoise the size of a washbasin between his arms. The tortoise shrank its head, only a shell was exposed, just like a shrunken tortoise.It is true that the size of this turtle is too embarrassing. If it is smaller, just put it in any bag. If it is bigger, you can simply put it on the ground, and you can sit on it and act like a turtle fairy or something.Only this one, big or small, looks like a monster when it is carried on its back, just like a book.

In fact, the reason why the few companions are funny is because there is a huge gap between his appearance with a turtle sandwiched between him and his usual refined demeanor, if someone who doesn't know him sees it, it's just... okay?
Jiang Shenyi patted Tang Zhao, and said, "Junior brother, don't worry, I think your guide messenger is unusual, maybe it's because you did a good job in the talisman page and got the hidden reward above the golden scales? I think you have a turtle appearance." Surprisingly, maybe it is an ancient mythical beast? For example, Xuanwu, Xuangui or something."

Tang Zhao said with a chuckle: "Brother, is this an encouragement or self-encouragement? Are you and my envoy not of the same race? Your omen is better, you are the leader... isn't that stronger than the golden scales? It's a good luck."

The two exchanged yin and yang, and Jiang Shenyi said: "Before we rode donkeys and raced regardless of the winner, why not compare this time? See who has the highest evaluation after arriving in Jianzhou? The loser will go back and eat and treat the whole process."

Tang Zhao naturally responded:

"Okay, high five?"

"High fives!"

After the two clapped their hands together, they said goodbye with their turtles in their mouths.Tang Zhao suddenly came to his senses, turned his head and said angrily in Jiang Shenyi's direction: "Brother, you didn't bring any money out at all, you can ask a fart when you go back! Don't you still eat me?"

"Ah, this classmate—" someone behind him stopped him.

Tang Zhao looked back, it turned out to be the scholar next to him just now, and his face blushed slightly: This scholar caught a golden scale, and he was not as good as our tortoise just now, like senior brother Jiang, the golden scale is not as good as our tortoise, it seems like he can't eat grapes Grape Sour.

The scholar looked serious and said seriously: "Student, although I only saw you by the pool, I know you are a talented person. I only hate that time is running out and I can't have a close friendship. Let's see you in Jianzhou! Maybe in the sky, you and I will return to you." We can sit side by side."

Tang Zhao also responded seriously: "Borrowing my brother's auspicious words. Since my brother has golden scales, he is not a thing in the pool. I don't know how to call it?"

"Qingqu College, Yue Shen."

"Zhuoyu Villa, Tang Zhao."

After leaving the crowd, Tang Zhao came to Baicheng and rented a hut, and chatted with his spirit envoy.

Although the rules of the Jianzhou Road have been spread all over the city in the past few days, Tang Zhao still wants to listen to his own spirit envoy.

Taking out another talisman page, Tang Zhao handed it to the turtle shell.

This is also a necessary step. It is necessary to feed another talisman page to prove that the previous talisman page was made by himself, so as to truly awaken the spirit envoy.

There was a sound of exhalation, and a strangely shaped head popped out of the turtle shell, swallowed the talisman page in one gulp, chewed it up with a look of enjoyment, and shouted loudly: "Haha, it's finally the turn of Mr. Turtle to appear! You are me!" The selected Talisman Sword Master, I am your spirit envoy! Come with Master Gui, let’s embark on the road to Jianzhou together.”

Although Tang Zhao knew that the spirit was miraculous, seeing the tortoise speak with his own eyes, Tang Zhao still felt very strange.

In this world, aliens cannot speak.The ferocious beast is so powerful that it can even use powerful spells, but its intelligence is extremely limited.Not to mention beasts, Senior Sister Xue's owl is fed with special talismans and precious materials and elixir. It has an early understanding of human nature and can understand orders, but it is still far away from speaking human words.

This tortoise is articulate, and its voice is full of temperament... Is it a natural alien, or has some means been used?
Tang Zhao should be the latter. There are ninety-nine spirit fish stocked in just one lotus pond, and they are of various races. It can't be that so many aquariums are all natural spirits, right?Natural Spirit Seeds are too worthless.

As for the means, Tang Zhao immediately thought of Fu Puppet.

Powerful talisman sword masters can make puppets with spirituality. For example, A Xiao from Xue Xianyun has his own consciousness, although he is often stupid.But even Ah Xiao can't speak, it's hard to parrot, let alone free dialogue.

After all, apart from the human soul, there is no way in this world to endow another possessed with real intelligence.

Even the fairy sister in his glasses lacks a little insight.

Tang Zhao stared at the tortoise and thought, is it really capable of speaking in human language, or can he record hundreds of sentences in advance and automatically choose to play according to the situation?

Although he was curious, Tang Zhao didn't check it hastily. On the one hand, he was leading the envoy to represent the host, Long Yuan, so it was inconvenient to be so rude, and on the other hand, he had to maintain respect for all intelligent beings.

It's just that this tortoise has sharp edges and corners, and it really looks a bit like a bird, so it is possible that the prototype of this talisman is really a tortoise with a bird's head and a tail?
It's just too ugly, so ugly that Tang Zhao raised the idea of ​​putting it in the glasses pool to upgrade.

The tortoise looked at him sideways, and said, "You rune swordsman, what are you doing looking at the tortoise all the time? Aren't you a little silly? Come, the tortoise will give you something good." After finishing speaking, he spit out a thick booklet.

"There are a thousand questions about the formula."

Come, come, this is the one who killed a thousand swords!
The craziest thing that has been circulated in Baicheng this time is this exam paper with thousands of questions.All candidates who catch the spirit fish will receive this copy.A thick examination paper, it is said that every question is so difficult that it makes people doubt life.Last night, Baicheng was filled with the sounds of crying ghosts and howling wolves.

Although Tang Zhao is also the owner of the homemade exercise book on the mountain, the feeling of compiling the questions by himself is different from that of others throwing a question bank in front of him.Feeling the solid weight of the exercise book in his hand, Tang Zhao's face turned green.

"Seven days, do you have to finish a thousand questions?"

The tortoise comforted him patiently and said: "How could it be seven days? Don't you still have to hurry? There is no seven days at all?"

"..."

Tang Zhao repeated: "That is to say, I have to travel for seven days, answer questions, and finally go to Jianzhou?"

The turtle said: "Of course it's more than that..."

Then, it spit out another scroll, which was a map.

"There are nine roads on the map, and each road has different lengths and urgency, and there is at least one checkpoint. You can choose any road, pass the checkpoints, answer questions, and drive. You are guaranteed to enjoy a full and unforgettable journey for a while. .”

"Don't look at some roads that are clean. There are only one or two checkpoints, which are suitable for traveling. In fact, there are fewer checkpoints and fewer opportunities. Although some checkpoints are troublesome, after solving them, you can get a lot of benefits. Maybe it's... dozens of questions and hundreds of questions. The answer to the question! For those with few levels, you can’t get a hint, so you can only work behind closed doors, which will delay your grades.”

Tang Zhao mused, "The final seat is determined entirely by the test scores? Does it make any difference if you arrive early or late?"

The tortoise said: "That's right. But it's good to arrive early. The sooner you arrive at the Labyrinth City, the more you can lie in wait for others to come."

The nine roads to Jianzhou do not intersect with each other, but in the end they all lead to the same place - the labyrinth city!

"There is a large formation in the maze city leading directly to Jianzhou. It will be opened on the last day to take everyone to Jianzhou. Before that, everyone has to stay in the maze city. It is a magical city. You can enjoy Exploring the fun of this mysterious small city, you can also hurry up and exchange answers."

Tang Zhao asked in surprise, "Can you exchange answers? Plagiarism is also okay?"

The turtle said: "To put it bluntly, you are asked to plagiarize others. This is part of the rules. But there is a small restriction - if your answer to a certain question is plagiarized by others, this answer will be invalid."

"Wait!" Tang Zhao reacted suddenly: "Someone plagiarized my answer, he is fine, my answer is invalid?! Is this reasonable?!"

The tortoise took it for granted: "Why is it unreasonable? Who told you to be copied by others? If you copy others, then there is no problem?"

Tang Zhao was stunned for a moment, then reacted for a while, and said, "Isn't this encouraging everyone not to do the questions themselves, and just wait for each other to copy? It doesn't matter if the level of attainment in talisman is higher than others, as long as you can grab it or not?"

The tortoise shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. In the last day or two of Labyrinth City, there are a thousand questions. Can you finish copying them? Who will copy them? Even if you copy the answers, how can you be sure? Not good, the answer is that you don’t even know what to copy. And the settings in the labyrinth city are amazing. In terms of martial arts alone, the weak are not necessarily weak, and the strong are not necessarily strong. If your talisman attainments are strong, you can kill everyone in the labyrinth city! "

The tortoise finally said: "There is also an ultimate amulet. If you try to hand in a blank paper, the guide messenger can bring the talisman sword master into the battle. Your personal safety is safe, but all the questions will be invalid and you will get zero points."

Tang Zhao understood, this is to tell plagiarists not to push people too much.If you drive people to a dead end, they will go straight to Jianzhou, and you will get nothing.It seems that Long Yuan should still not want the dead.After all, the talisman sword masters who can come here are the top disciples of each family regardless of their level. In the future, at least they will be able to be independent talisman sword masters.Cutting off the future of other people's family and forging a life-and-death enmity for no reason is not good for Long Yuan's reputation.

"Young man, which way do you want to choose?"

Tang Zhao pondered for a while, and suddenly asked: "Since the questions have to be sorted, what's the use of the quality of the fish caught?"

The tortoise said: "Of course it is useful. If you catch me, you can choose nine paths. There is a lot of room for choice. If you catch a loach, you can only choose a random path."

Ok……

It seems to be of no use?I don't know which way is better.Still rely on blindness.

Tang Zhaodao: "The last question, if I want to catch the golden scales, how many paths can I choose?"

The tortoise proudly said: "It's also Jiutiao. We are on the same level, no, I am actually better than Jinlin. It looks beautiful, but it is a dead thing, so stupid. Master Turtle is the one hidden surprise in a hundred! "
