Fighter of the Destiny

Chapter 245 Yellow Paper Umbrella

Every time Tianji Pavilion announces the list, it will attach a brief comment. This time, Tianji Pavilion probably expected that it would attract a lot of discussion in the world. At the end, it also gave an explanation for Xu Yourong and Chen Changsheng's failure to enter the Gold List, indicating that this It was because Old Man Tianji was looking forward to their trip to Zhou Garden.

At this point, the entire continent knew that Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong were going to the Zhou Garden.

Starting from the Ivy League Banquet last year, the engagement between Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong spread throughout the world. This story is full of all kinds of grudges, childhood sweethearts, counterattacks and waiting. It is so disturbing that it is difficult to tell them all. Now, the hero and heroine of the story We finally met in Zhou Garden, which naturally attracted the attention of countless people.

As the other protagonist of this story, Akiyama-kun did not appear, but his junior brother was present. Liang Xiaoxiao looked at Chen Changsheng with an increasingly cold gaze. Because of the time spent in Tianshu Mausoleum, Qi Jian's perception of Chen Changsheng had changed. Listening to the discussion, Qi Jian also had a look of indignation on his face.

Even if he has another adventure in Zhou Garden, will he be able to win the top spot on the Midas List? Can he be compared with Qiu Shanjun?

Why not? Although Qiu Shanjun has already achieved success, don't forget that Qiu Shan Jun is four years older than him.

Chen Changsheng's name was not mentioned in these discussions, but everyone knew it was him.

Ye Xiaolian followed her senior sister and stood in the crowd, looking at the back of Chen Changsheng in front of her. Unlike before, her eyes only contained disgust and anger, but she was just a little curious.

Chen Changsheng felt the looks from all around, especially the expressions of those southerners who were obviously unkind. He felt a lot of pressure and a little confused. In the eyes of the world, he and Xu Yourong may have been childhood sweethearts, and they may have a love-hate relationship, but he was the only one. He knew that none of this was true. He didn't know what Xu Yourong looked like, and he believed that Xu Yourong had no impression of him.

Walking out of the south gate of Kyoto, the team stopped for a while. Priest Xin got out of the car at the front, which was pulled by a Tianma, and came to Chen Changsheng.

Chen Changsheng was a little surprised and asked, Is it the bishop who is leading the team?

Priest Xin shook his head and said, Sir, I have been in poor health recently.

Chen Changsheng looked at the chariot in front and asked curiously: Which big shot of the state religion is in that car?

Priest Xin looked at him and said with a smile, I'm just here to ask you to get on the bus.

Chen Changsheng was stunned, and it took him a while to wake up. He was a little afraid to confirm and said, You mean... I will lead the team to Zhou Garden this time?

Priest Xin said seriously: Yes, the Pope has left everything to you.

Chen Changsheng thought about the previous scenes of the priests and teachers from the Zongsi Temple and Tiandao Academy coming to pay their respects, and he thought silently that he might be the last one to know.

…

Leaving Kyoto and arriving at Wenshui City, more than ten chariots passed through the city gate one after another. The emblems of the palace were on the shafts of these chariots. The church in the city received the news a few days ago and made arrangements. The city gate guards Wherever they dared to conduct an interrogation, the city gates were opened early, and both sides of the official road were crowded with people who came to watch after hearing the news.

Who is Chen Changsheng?

How many of the Seven Laws of the Kingdom of God are here?

Xu Fenghuang left directly from Nanxi Zhai. He won't be in the team, right?

Which car is Chen Changsheng in? Could it be the first one? Oh, look at that horse's wings, which are snow-white... almost the same as our bed gauze.

The people talked enthusiastically and pointed at the chariots in the team. The beautiful and magical white Pegasus was naturally the focus of everyone's attention. When people knew that Chen Changsheng was in the first carriage, they rushed forward. The street suddenly became noisy and chaotic, and they even heard people shouting his name loudly.

A young Taoist priest from Xining Town read through the Taoist canon, got the first place in the Imperial Examination, viewed all seventeen steles in the Tomb of Heavenly Books in one day, and became the dean of the Traditional Chinese Education College.

No matter how you look at it, this is a legend, and he is a legend.

Countless pairs of eyes fell on the car, and they were so hot that they seemed to break the window screen.

Although he had the experience of parading in Kyoto after the Imperial Examination, Chen Changsheng was still not used to this kind of treatment, and felt extremely hot in the face.

On the other hand, Zhexiu, who was sitting opposite him, remained expressionless, unaffected by the sounds and hot gazes coming from outside the car.

The team heading to Zhouyuan went directly to the church in Wenshui City. Priest Xin took his subordinate priests to take care of some specific matters. Chen Changsheng, the dean of the Chinese Academy of Education, was nominally the leader of the trip, so what? He needs to do these things. In other words, he has the same meaning as the door god posted on the door.

Rooms have been prepared in the church hall in advance, and practitioners from various academy sects have moved in in batches. The Lishan Sword Sect has become too famous in recent years. Qi Jian and Liang Xiaoxiao moved into the east courtyard, and the two girls from Saintess Peak stayed in the hall. Next door to them, Chen Changsheng naturally lived the best. The bishop of Wenshui City enthusiastically invited him into the main hall, and Zhe Xiu followed him politely.

After a brief cleaning and tidying up, before I had time to rest, a priest came to report that someone had come to visit Dean Chen.

Chen Changsheng was startled, guessing who the visitor was, he quickly changed into clean clothes and walked to the front of the hall.

A man who looked like a steward was standing in front of the hall. He was dressed simply, but the jade necklace tied around his waist was nothing special.

Seeing Chen Changsheng, the steward bowed down and showed great respect.

Seeing this scene, the local priests in Wenshui City were very surprised.

The Wenshui Tang family has always been arrogant, and even the Tianhai family and the Qiushan family don't look down on him very much. The chief steward rarely even gives the bishop face, so why does he act so humble now? You must know that the dean of the National Church is only a fictitious position, and the rank only plays a role within the national religion. Even if Chen Changsheng has a good relationship with the only grandson of the Tang family, he will not have such a big reputation.

Chen Changsheng apologized to the Tang family steward and said, Logically, as a junior, I should pay a visit to the old man. However, I am pressed for time during this trip, and the Pope asked me to lead the team, so it is inconvenient for me to leave. , please also ask the steward to pay my respects to the old lady on my behalf.

After saying this, he took out a small box that he had prepared when he was in Kyoto and handed it over.

In this box is medicine. Back then, he and Tang Sanshiliu had stolen countless medicinal herbs and fruits in the Baicao Garden. Together with the Red River specialties rarely seen in the human world sent by Luoluo, they were refined into many elixirs by the Li Gong priests. I took some when I was in a secluded state, but there was still a lot left. It has no obvious effect when used to help practice, but it is best to use it to strengthen the body and prolong life.

The steward took the small box, thanked him repeatedly, and then took out a small box from his arms. He presented it with both hands with a humble expression, saying that it was a meeting gift from Mr. Tang to Dean Chen, and then left.

…

Returning to the quiet room in the main hall, Chen Changsheng put the box on the table and opened it, only to see a round metal ball in the box. This metal ball is about the size of a fist and appears extremely heavy. Its surface is very smooth, but there are some scale-like lines that divide the metal ball into three parts.

Zhe Xiu walked to the table and took a look, his expression changed slightly, and then he was silent for a long time.

Chen Changsheng looked at him and asked, What's wrong? You look very surprised.

Zhexiu looked at him and said, What is your relationship with Tang Sanliu?

Chen Changsheng said in confusion: He and I are friends.

Yes, Tang Sanliu was the first friend he made after entering Kyoto.

If you were just a friend, why would the Tang family give you this treasure? Zhexiu said expressionlessly.

Chen Changsheng reached out and took out the ordinary-looking metal ball from the box. He looked at it carefully and found nothing special about it.

What is this?

Zhexiu walked up to him and looked at the metal ball. There were some strange emotions in his eyes, which had never been full of emotions.

The city defense formations of various countries in the human world are all designed and manufactured by the Tang family. The best weapons and ammunition are also designed and manufactured by the Tang family. The armors of the thirty-eight divine generals in the mainland are also designed and manufactured by the Tang family. Even the Red River surrounds the Tang family. Baidi City is said to have been designed and built by the ancestors of the Tang family.

This family, which has been passed down for thousands of generations by the Wenshui River, is so rich that even the Holy Queen is a little afraid and unable to take action.

The treasure of the Tang family in Wenshui is certainly no ordinary treasure.

Zhe Xiu said: At least seventeen of the artifacts on the Hundred Weapons List came from the Tang family. Now the Tang family can still make some extraordinary weapons, although because those rare ores have been exhausted, they cannot match the Hundred Weapons of the past. The magic weapons on the list are even better in terms of exquisite design. Most of the magic weapons on the Hundred Weapons List are now hidden by those sects and academies, just like the Shuangyu Divine Spear has been enshrined in the Great Zhou Palace. Of course, what the strong want most is the weapons produced by the Tang family, so even a crazy guy like Xiao Zhang would not dare to offend the Tang family.

Chen Changsheng suddenly felt that the metal ball in his palm became heavier.

Zhexiu continued: If I'm not mistaken, the metal ball in your hand should be a yellow paper umbrella.

Chen Changsheng repeated slightly: Yellow paper umbrella?

He vaguely remembered hearing this name somewhere.

Yes, the Lishan Sword Sect's Uncle Su ordered a magical weapon from the Tang family. The Tang family made some modifications to his original design, and it finally took thirty years to successfully create that magical weapon. The weapon is the metal ball you are holding in your hand now, and its name is the yellow paper umbrella.

The great uncle Gou Hanshi and the others often mentioned?...Since it was a magic weapon ordered by that legendary powerful man, why is it still in the Tang family now?

Because the last Junior Master Su didn't come to pick it up.

Why?

Because...he can't afford it.

The room fell silent.

Chen Changsheng felt that the metal ball in his palm was a little heavier, and his voice became tighter: This thing... is expensive?

Zhexiu said: The yellow paper umbrella was named by Mr. Tang himself.

Chen Changsheng groaned, expressing that he didn't understand what it meant.

Yellow paper is paper money. Zhe Xiu looked at him and said.

Chen Changsheng figured it out. Paper money is different from banknotes circulating in the world. You can write any denomination you want.

If the number on the paper money were turned into real money, how much would it be?

Besides the Tang family, can anyone else in the world come up with so much money?

No wonder the legendary Uncle Li Shan clearly designed this magic weapon himself, but in the end he had to reluctantly give up.
