Chapter 1506
Looking at Zi Yi's pair of purple eyes, shining at him, as if waiting for his answer, Gu Zheng was a little surprised and laughed.
"Of course, you don't have to ask me, even if I don't agree, you can go by yourself."
"I feel a little bored alone. Besides, if I like something and don't have the money to pay, of course I have to follow you!" Zi Yi said as a matter of course, but no one knows what she thinks in her heart.
"Okay, no problem, just tell me what you want." Gu Zheng said heroically. He also accumulated a lot of points and incense beads, enough for him to waste a little bit.
"But is your injury really okay?" Gu Zheng said worriedly, looking at Zi Yi's unstable breath.
"It doesn't matter. At worst, I can find a place to recuperate after I go out. This auction is about to start, and I don't want to miss it!" Zi Yi said nonchalantly.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng saw that Zi Yi was determined, so he didn't say anything.
One day later, after a little preparation, Gu Zheng took Zi Yi and rushed to the City of Hope. This time, he not only signed up for the competition, but also wanted to see the so-called auction.
As the competition got closer and closer, most of the ancestors had begun to head towards the City of Hope. No matter where they were, they wanted to see who was fighting this time, and of course, they also wanted to see the auction.
Fighting here, all the audiences nearby can observe, just immerse their minds in the stage, and see what is happening inside from all perspectives.
This is also why many people come every time, watching people of the same level or higher level fight, which may be inspiring for themselves, not to mention that every ten battles, the City of Hope will hold a large-scale auction, resulting in a lot more people now than in previous years, and it seems that all the ancestors of all sizes have come here.
Because every auction will have all kinds of extremely precious and rare materials, as well as some top-grade elixirs, top-grade magic weapons, and even some treasures that cannot be found outside can be found here. It will take a month to open once, and there will be different things every day.
During this period, all islands were rarely peaceful. All the battles between villages, whether they were fighting or not, would turn into war and pause. They would not continue until most of the ancestral gods left the city and returned to their respective villages.
Because this was the only grand event here, no one wanted to miss it.
If Mantian and his friends had not been seriously injured in this battle, they would have come anyway, even if it was good to expand their horizons. They had participated in it before. Although they had no money to buy it, they could not see any rare things.
Gu Zheng, who had just arrived, felt that it was really much more lively. Every moment, different ancestral gods were talking to each other and walking by. It was like two cities when he came here before.
There was still half a year for the auction, and one and a half years for the competition. When the auction started, the registration would be closed. Although there was still enough time for him, he did not plan to stroll around casually. He ran directly to the location of the hall with Zi Yi.
When passing through the square, there were obviously many people, and several stone platforms were raised around. Some people wanted to compete. This place was very suitable, but there was no protection.
Walking all the way to the hall, it was even more crowded with various ancestral gods. After carefully squeezing through, they finally arrived at the last registration place.
This place was a little empty, so after letting Zi Yi wait for him outside, Gu Zheng lined up at the back. There were two people in front of him who were registering, and they didn't wait for much time. It was Gu Zheng's turn soon.
"I'm here to sign up for the next battle!" Gu Zheng said to the woman in front of him.
"Ancestor God token!" The woman said without raising her head.
Gu Zheng already knew the general process in front, and didn't say much, and handed it over directly.
After the other party took it, he didn't know what to do, and the token in his hand disappeared with a shake of his hand.
"Do you want to register your ancestral god blessing? If so, you can also choose different blessings from others. If you don't do this, you have no blessings on your body and need to fight the other party naked!" The woman said to Gu Zheng quickly.
These words, whether the other party knows or not, she has to tell the other party again.
Gu Zheng has already consulted the old man about this matter.
At the beginning of the battle, the warriors participating in the battle can completely brush their own blessings to strengthen the strength of both sides.
Moreover, there are two permanent blessings here, which are those who have made great contributions in the past and are now disciples of quasi-saints. One is a generally greatly enhanced attack, and the other is a greatly enhanced defense, which is equivalent to a spear and a shield. These two are also the most commonly used blessings by others.
No matter how good you are, all the ancestors know that you can't compare with the opponent at all, so basically you choose to register your own blessings. No one will be stupid. If the opponent doesn't choose, unless you are against the sky, facing the opponent is equivalent to missing a very good magic weapon, which can be said to be a loss anyway!
However, once you board, all the participants can see the detailed information of your blessings, which is also indirectly exposed, but it doesn't matter. I'm afraid that when I fought before, my information was remembered by someone with a heart.
Gu Zheng made a good decision and of course he would register it and nodded directly to the other party.
Seeing Gu Zheng's decision, she continued to work on her hands, but suddenly her movements froze, and an extremely strong white light began to bloom on the ancestral god token.
The noise was so loud that it instantly attracted everyone's attention. Everyone turned their eyes and looked over there, wondering how such a strange thing could happen.
Judging from the direction from which it was transmitted, it should be at the place where people registered for the competition, but the light did not pose any threat, just like a simple light, but it made the people watching cover their eyes, but soon the white light became brighter and brighter, beyond everyone's expectations.
Such a dazzling white light soon illuminated the entire hall in a white haze, and everyone couldn't help but close their eyes, but fortunately they knew that there would be no trouble here, and everyone endured the discomfort and waited until the white light faded a little before opening their eyes.
All the people who were close to that side hurriedly surrounded it, wanting to see what the accident was. The City of Hope, which was restricted by layers of restrictions, could emit such a light. I don't know what went wrong.
Unfortunately, everyone found nothing over there, but someone recognized Gu Zheng who was registering.
"Look at the wall!" Soon, there was an exclamation in the hall, and they all pointed to the middle position. In an instant, everyone, including Gu Zheng, raised their heads and looked over there.
At the top of the wall, there were red and blue light spots on the left and right, which were a full foot in size. Now, in the middle, there was a white spot of the same size, flickering on it.
This surprised everyone, because everyone knew the formation of the two light spots. Could it be that someone has already studied the results of the power of incense?
"Shua"
Everyone looked at Gu Zheng in unison, and those in the distance also squeezed over here, wanting to know who was so secretly and thoroughly studying this, so that he would not be accepted as a disciple by the quasi-saint again.
You know, everyone wants to study one or two, but at most they can study the fur, and then they can't make any progress. More often, they fall into backlash, neither human nor ghost, and finally fewer and fewer people are studying now.
Gu Zheng suddenly realized that everyone's eyes were focused on him, which made him feel stressed. He didn't expect it to turn out like this. The two people in line behind him had already left him. It was obvious that it was him who caused this.
He turned around and was about to tell the woman to finish his work quickly and leave, but he was shocked to find that the person who received him had become another person he didn't know.
The woman was also scared because the token in her hand had disappeared. Just when she was a little at a loss, an old man came to her side and said to her.
"Don't panic, I'll be in charge here, and you'll come over later!"
"Lan Lan. Young Master" The maid looked back and immediately showed a panic expression on her face. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it.
"Shh"
The blue young master made a silent gesture, pointed at her, and asked her to stay aside.
"No wonder, if it was him, it would be possible!" Some people saw the stupid Gu Zheng and recognized her, and then they suddenly realized it.
"Oh, what's going on? Who is he? Why haven't I heard of him?" the people next to him asked in confusion.
"He is." Some people who knew him immediately said to the people around him. When his name was mentioned, everyone suddenly realized it, because in recent years, the storm he caused was too intense. Almost no one didn't know this name, but most people saw it for the first time.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes looked at him differently, but some of them were still a little doubtful. Everyone knew that he was very powerful, but they didn't expect him to be so powerful. You know, the previous two stayed here for tens of thousands of years and took great risks before they finally studied the power of incense.
And at that time, what they did was even crazier than Gu Zheng. They beat everyone, and their record was even more prominent than Gu Zheng.
And Gu Zheng's only advantage was that he accelerated time to a point that everyone couldn't believe. Although they couldn't believe it, everything on the wall couldn't be faked.
"Who are you?" Gu Zheng ignored the increasingly chaotic questioning behind him and said to the man in front of him.
"I'm the captain in charge of maintenance here, just call me Captain Lan. Because of your special situation, I came here in person!" said the man who called himself Captain Lan.
"Captain Lan, please help me get my things back." Gu Zheng said helplessly.
Because what he brought was not the statue of the ancestor god, in order to facilitate contact with Ren Jie and let the people over there tell him in time if there was anything, he brought the water drop back and simulated it into the statue of the ancestor god. Anyway, there was his own breath in it.
The reason was the same, who knew that there would be such a big leak.
"Of course, in fact, I have already taken it back for you during the time you were in a daze!" Captain Lan didn't waste any words and threw something out of his hand, floating in front of Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng took a look and found that it was the transparent ancestor god token, which was disguised by himself with water droplets. Gu Zheng quickly put it away, but as soon as he touched it, he felt something wrong. It seemed to be missing something. Although he could feel that he could still draw a lot of incense power from it, he suddenly found that the core inside was gone.
He was completely unable to release the blessing again, which made Gu Zheng stunned. Without the core, he would become a wandering ancestor god, but why could he continue to absorb it.
"I'll give you one of these. After you put it in, you can inject new blessings. Otherwise, are you putting your previous blessings in?" Captain Lan took out the original Ancestral God Core and asked Gu Zheng to test it.
Gu Zheng looked at this thing and was a little dumbfounded. Where would he go to get the demon grass? Even if he had it, he wouldn't necessarily get a ball of green flame for the bird to swallow and mix it out.
What a coincidence all of this is. I originally planned to leave this blessing to Xifeng Village, so that they would be at least a little stronger than usual. I had to use the power of my own incense to regenerate the amputated finger, but it only consumes a little more. That’s all.
As a result, they are all gone now. What I thought was that by holding the water droplets, I could condense more fragrant beads, and I could buy more things at the auction. But the result was good, I lost my wife and lost my army.
"Forget it, forget it! What about my blessing for the next competition?" Gu Zheng thought for a moment and decided not to put it in again. The changes in the water droplets are too weird now. It can transform the power of incense without a core. He won't put it in himself. That's fine. Let He Sheng take over the marriage in the future. Anyway, it will only be a matter of a few years.
There was no fighting during this period. It really didn't matter whether he was a wandering ancestor or not.
"Your blessing is the same as the previous two and can be called at any time. Don't worry about this. If this happens to you, it can be regarded as registered. When you are in this city and the game starts, someone will naturally notify you. You," Captain Blue replied.
"That's good. In that case, I'll go back!" After hearing this, Gu Zheng decided to go back home. No matter how depressed he was, he could only do this.
Gu Zheng turned around, looked at the crowd that was almost surrounding him, and said angrily.
"What's blocking the road? Get out of my way!"
The few people in front were about to retort when suddenly a sharp look came from behind. For some reason, they inexplicably got out of the way and left a passage for one person to walk in the team.
Gu Zheng didn't notice anything and walked out directly. He called Zi Yi from the outside and left.
"Master Gu, you are so amazing. I never thought that you could study the power of incense to such an extent. I'm afraid Master Preparation will accept you as a core disciple soon." Zi Yi's eyes were filled with shock when she came out. I felt that this blessing was very powerful, but at that time I mainly felt that the flames were so powerful that flesh gave birth to bones.
"It's nothing, it's just a coincidence. There's nothing to say now. Fortunately, in this competition, the Ancestral God prohibits the use of the power of incense, which is much better! As for the quasi-sage you mentioned, I have already accepted me as a disciple. Master, it’s impossible to become a disciple anymore!” Gu Zheng said happily.
"Young Master Gu is just joking. Opportunity is also a part of strength. I don't know where my master is. Have I heard of it? With you as a disciple, I'm afraid your master is also a great person." Ziyi turned his eyes and said deliberately asked.
"My master is very powerful, but he is not famous in this world. Basically no one has heard of it. If I have a chance, I will tell you! Now let's find a place to stay and wait for the auction to start."
In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.
In the past six months, there are now more people in the city, almost all the inns are full, and the topic has gradually shifted away from the ancient disputes, and more people have begun to discuss the things that are about to be auctioned.
Every auction is not just about things taken out here, but also things taken out by some ancestor gods, hoping to sell them at a good price, or to exchange them for a suitable item.
The auction here is finally about to begin. In the sky above the middle city, a super huge golden palace slowly emerges from above, like a city in the sky, which is extremely shocking.
Even though Gu Zheng had heard of it before, he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.
Viewed from below, this palace is over a hundred feet high, with dense clouds rising all over it. It occupies an area approximately equal to a quarter of the City of Hope. It can be said to be very huge.
The outermost part is all made of gold, and the golden light is shining. Then there are four rows of very wide jade steps, spiraling down from the sky. Each jade step is staggered, exuding a slight fluorescence, and illusory lights flash around it. A barrier to prevent someone from accidentally falling down. It looks extremely gorgeous and exquisite.
Looking from that direction, it should be possible to go up from the square.
Moreover, on the top floor of the palace, there are three large golden characters facing downwards, as if someone has left pen and ink in the clouds, with dragons and phoenixes dancing, which is very impressive.
"Lisheng Pavilion"
After everyone came out of the palace, after looking at the palace above for a while, they all moved towards the square.
If you look at it from a high altitude, you can see that all the people who came out of the crowd were walking towards the square.
Gu Zheng was no exception. After being stunned for a while, he recovered from the shock.
"It's really shocking. Let's go in. I don't know if there will be a good seat for us!" Gu Zheng said to Zi Yi who was also shocked.
Regardless of what Ziyi said to her, looking at her, it looked like she was seeing her for the first time.
Following the flow of people, Gu Zheng soon arrived at the square. At this time, it was already crowded with people, and many ancestor gods had already started to climb up the jade steps.
It would take more than half an hour to reach such a high distance, even if one is anxious and fast. The palace seems not high, but it is just an illusion.
Fortunately, at least two ancestors can pass through each row. When Gu Zheng followed the crowd, the front had already walked most of the way, and there were almost no people behind.
Counting carefully, there are at least nearly two thousand ancestors gathered here. If they really want to fight, it is estimated that even the middle stage of Daluo will have to think twice.
No matter how far the journey is, there will always be a moment of arrival. An hour later, Gu Zheng was already standing at the huge entrance of the palace.
