Chapter 75 The fifth incense stick, the true king shows his sage (fourth update)(1/3)
"That's right, I usually lie in bed and listen." Zong Shichang felt proud rather than ashamed. "What else is there to say in this?"
Zhao Xing pointed at the two people who came down from the Temple of Heaven: "Everyone who sees it is a spectator. If you return the gift, it means recognition. The magic of the dancers and musicians will be improved."
"I guess they both want to come to our place to salute. If you return the gift, you are giving them face. It doesn't matter if you don't return the gift."
"The higher the level and appreciation ability of the audience, the more feedback the dancers and musicians will get from the performance. If they can also give things, then they will have more feedback. Of course, there is an upper limit."
The group of people in Dexiang were better than those in the square, so Liu Muqing and Lu Qian naturally refused to let them go.
As expected, after coming down, he ran over here and saluted Zong Shichang and the others.
Zhao Xing felt that the performance of these two people was pretty good, so he raised his hands and gave them a thumbs up.
Lu Qian kept staring at Zhao Xing, and curled her lips when she saw him returning the favor.
Although this guy is hateful, he is still polite.
It would be great if he could return the bird's robe to himself.
The rest of the people also gave him face. After all, these two were also from the county magistrate's family, and they knew Young Master Zong, so they returned the favor one after another.
Others' gifts in return were very serious, but Zong Shichang took out the banknotes from his arms and waved to Lu Qian and Liu Muqing: "You two ladies are doing a good job, let's watch and enjoy!"
Lu Qian watched Zong Shichang coming over, grinding her teeth and wanting to punch him twice, but she finally endured it and gritted her teeth and said, "Zong Shichang, thank you!"
"That sounds dishonest. I won't give you the jackpot." Zong Shichang smiled and handed the banknote to Lu Qian, while Liu Muqing folded the banknote and inserted it into her bun.
Liu Muqing bowed again: "Thank you, Mr. Zong."
"You're welcome, Miss Liu." Zong Shichang held his hand in a very serious manner, and his voice became much gentler.
After the two left, Zhao Xing bumped into Zong Shichang with his shoulder: "Do you like this Miss Liu?"
Zong Shichang turned around and said, "Is it so obvious?"
Zhao Xing sneered and walked away: "Your eyes are going to grow on other people's bodies. You think others are stupid."
Zong Shichang murmured to himself: "Yes, even you can see it, why doesn't Miss Liu know my thoughts..."
After a while, the remaining incense stick in the Temple of Heaven Square was snatched away.
One of them, named Gu Feng, was holding a bow and arrow, silver light flashing, and was followed by four or five people.
After meeting Zhao Xing's gaze, Gu Feng's expression changed slightly.
He was attacking Zhao Xing during the day, hoping to rob the Lingxiu archer, but he did not expect that Zhao Xing would make such great progress. After absorbing three Lingxiu, he could even compete with Cao Qiushui.
After thinking about it, Gu Feng didn't move forward after all, and waited at the back.
The recipient of the last incense stick was a machine master. He was accompanied by two tiger-like machine beasts. The machine tiger beasts were more than two meters tall, with fangs extending two feet from their mouths. They shone with cold light and were very extraordinary.
Behind the tiger were four small mechanical beasts, which looked strange, like lizards.
"A third-level high-grade machine beast? Or six heads?" Zhao Xing looked at it and was quite surprised.
The Gongjia's mechanism is driven by a magic circle, and the mechanism beast is the most difficult skill to learn.
Unlike the straw man method, the machine beast can always exist, has high spirituality, and can even cast spells hidden in the body.
However, straw men are time-sensitive and cannot exist forever, and they have no spirituality at low levels.
However, the straw man method is not picky and can be used with a handful of dead grass. It can use local materials, saving time and effort.
The materials for the machine beast are more expensive, and it takes time and effort to study the magic circle.
"This man's name is Hu Yang. He is in his early twenties and can actually make a third-level machine beast. He is a rare talent."
"Should I say it or not, Gong family officials are really enviable. They can make such a powerful machine beast, much better than a straw man." Zong Shichang said.
"I'm not envious at all." Zhao Xing shook his head.
"Brother Zhao, don't be so harsh." Zong Shichang said with empty eyes, "Speak with your conscience in mind."
"How old did you say he was?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Early twenties, if I'm not mistaken, I should be twenty-one," Zong Shichang said.
"Does he look like Twenty-One to you?" Zhao Xing asked.
"..." Zong Shichang looked at Hu Yang's obvious forehead and eye wrinkles and dark circles and opened his mouth.
"Look at the top of his head. Is there any hair?"
"..."
Zhao Xing shrugged and said, "You know why I'm not envious, right?"
"There is no such thing as ingenious work, it is all done at the cost of one's life."
Zong Shichang couldn't help but was speechless.
Zhao Xing smiled and looked away from Hu Yang.
He said that he would never study the mechanism magic circle, let alone become a mechanism beast!
It's really not a joke to say that fate is the most important thing.
Going to the back of the mechanism magic circle, there are many secret techniques that require you to expend your own efforts to enlighten the treasure.
For example, the swordsmith’s ‘heart-breaking technique’.
To put it bluntly, it is to increase the spirituality, power, etc. of the machine puppet at the expense of lifespan.
As long as there is this kind of secret method, it is impossible to resist not using it. Use a little today, use a little tomorrow, and over time... Even if there is luck and longevity from the Qi Luck Dynasty, it cannot be added!
The above ones are pretty good, and there are some lunatics who want to be famous all over the world. They just sacrifice themselves all at once, and the general Mo Xie has to say something awesome when he comes.
Zhao Xing would never study the Gong family's magic circle, and he would not do anything that would shorten his life. Of course, he would like to use the Gong family's treasures.
People in the Temple of Heaven Square were waiting for the second wave of incense, while those below were waiting for the battle between Yang Junxiong and Du Jiaojiao to end.
Suddenly, Zhao Xing found that the speed of the two people slowed down, and the light and shadow gradually dimmed.
"clang!"
As a crisp sound emerged, everyone's ears trembled and they quickly took a few steps back.
And the two lights and shadows finally separated, revealing their true appearance.
The battle between Yang Junxiong and Du Jiaojiao finally came to an end.
"Sister Jiao!"
Lu Qian and Liu Muqing ran over quickly.
"I'm fine."
Du Jiaojiao panted slightly, her hair disheveled.
Yang Junxiong's hair was not messed up and his breathing was even. It seemed that the battle just now was very easy for him.
"She has become stronger again." Zong Shichang said with emotion, "No one tastes her red lips, and she can kill a young man with one punch. Who dares to ask for it if this continues?"
"Brother Zong, all high-level warriors have very good hearing. If you don't cultivate your oral ethics, I'm afraid you will be the young man beaten to death." Zhao Xing said calmly.
"Ahem." Zong Shichang changed the subject and said, "What should we do now? Should we take action?"
"Let's take a look first."
Zhao Xing stared ahead.
I saw Yang Junxiong pointing his gun at the approaching Lu Qian and Liu Muqing: "If you continue to pester, I will find a way to severely injure you and your friends."
"You are despicable!"
"shameless!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Lu Qian and Liu Muqing changed.
Du Jiaojiao stopped the two of them, stared at Yang Junxiong for a moment, nodded and said, "I'll give you this incense."
Yang Junxiong put away his spear, clamped his legs together, turned into a stream of light and rushed up the steps and entered the temple.
"I can't tell that Du Jiaojiao is very affectionate." Wen Zhao shook his feather fan, "He is actually willing to give up the opportunity to fight for the top spot for his friends."
"It is indeed rare. No one can remember what happened on the mountain, but she still did it with a pure heart. No wonder her marksmanship is so powerful." Zhang Boran said with emotion. "But she probably felt that she was not sure of winning the first prize, so she gave up."
"Stop talking so much and get ready."
After Yang Junxiong entered the temple, Du Jiaojiao protected Lu Qian, and Liu Muqing entered.
No one dares to have an opinion if a top-notch strong person does this.
I can only watch helplessly as they occupy the first four places to worship the gods.
The positions for the first four incense sticks are now full.
The pressure suddenly came to Wen Zhao and Zhang Boran.
The moment Du Jiaojiao and the others stepped onto the steps, Zhang Boran immediately started sprinting.
Wen Zhao muttered something: "When you step east, you will see the sky, and your energy will stir the world and you will be far away."
Zhang Boran's speed suddenly increased, and his momentum instantly climbed to the ninth level of Juyuan!
