Chapter 176 181, Guo Jing Huang Rong
Bronze gate.
Seventy-two techniques of earth evil.
In Ouyang Feng's opinion, the key to this world lies in these two things.
Everything else is just trifles.
Even though this world looks a little messy, it should be caused by the bronze gate.
He had a hunch that if he could get the bronze gate, his "Mirror of All Heaven" would be greatly improved.
Speaking of which, the Tongtian Baojian has reached a bottleneck at present.
Before this, every time a Tongtian Spirit Seed grew, the Tongtian Treasure Mirror could immediately harvest a new Spirit Seed.
But this time, after the sixth spirit seed grew, the Tongtian Baojian did not condense a new spirit seed.
After careful inquiry, I learned that at this stage, Tongtian Baojian can only possess spiritual seeds with the number of "seven stars".
And the number of spiritual seeds of seven stars is not even enough for the "Tongtian Fantasy Land" to completely transform the virtual into reality and become a "portable cave heaven".
If you want to completely transform the Tongtian Fantasy into a cave heaven, you must do a major upgrade on the Tongtian Treasure Mirror.
However, if you want to upgrade a time and space treasure like Tongtian Baojian, you must obtain the origin of the same type.
Where could Ouyang Feng find it?
Now there is a glimmer of hope.
There are also the 72 Earthly Fiends, which are also good means of self-defense.
With this thought in mind, Ouyang Feng took another sip of tea and asked Zhao Min:
"Regarding the whereabouts of the bronze gate, do you pioneers have any clues or guesses?"
Zhao Min shook her head helplessly:
"Many of us wanderers in foreign lands have concerns in our respective worlds and want to return to our hometowns. We have also tried every possible way to find the location of the bronze gate. Unfortunately, we have not found any clues about the bronze gate so far.
"There are quite a few speculations. Some of the seniors who came earlier speculated that this thing is not in the mortal world, or even if it is in the mortal world, it is not something that mortals like us can touch or even see."
Ouyang Feng was a little disappointed with her answer, but he also felt that it was expected. He stopped talking about this topic and looked at the dragon egg on the table next to Zhao Min and asked:
"Although this egg has life, the flying dragon is the killer weapon of the Seljuq barbarians on Dragon Island, so I think there must be some restrictions. Perhaps only certain people can tame it. Miss Zhao's dragon egg successfully hatched a flying dragon cub, but I don't know how to tame it?"
Zhao Min smiled brightly and said calmly:
"Minmin really has a solution. Hero Guo's disciple Yang Guo possesses the 'bird training' technique from the 72 Earthly Evil Techniques, which can make birds or beasts obey his will. Minmin's Green Willow Manor is under the protection of Hero Guo and his wife. Minmin once led her men to fight alongside Hero Guo and his wife to resist the Semu barbarian army. She has a close relationship with Hero Guo and his wife, so she can ask Hero Yang to help tame the dragon cub."
So Yang Guo is also in Xiangyang City?
Poultry training...
This strange skill really suits Yang Guo.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Feng drank the tea in the cup, put it down, stood up and said:
"I want to visit Mr. Guo and his wife. Miss Zhao, please lead the way."
Zhao Min actually had the idea of recruiting Ouyang Feng.
She had quite a few experts under her command. At that time, the entire Green Willow Manor descended to this world as one. The two Xuanming Elders, Ah Er, Ah San, the Eight Heroes of the Divine Arrow, and other experts who were in the manor, as well as the servants in the manor, all followed her.
But many masters have ugly appearances, some look ferocious, and some look ugly. How can they be as tall, straight, heroic and handsome as Ouyang Feng?
Ouyang Feng is not only good-looking, but also has incredibly high martial arts skills. He can even break free from the "immobilization spell" and can also repel the combined attack of the two strongest Xuanming elders under her with just a palm of his hand.
He also has excellent character. Although he has the strength to suppress Green Willow Manor, he does not bully the weak and even returns the dragon egg.
Zhao Min certainly wanted to recruit such a great master with excellent appearance, martial arts and character.
Unfortunately, she also knew that although the other party came alone and seemed helpless, he was unrestrained and free just by relying on his unfathomable strength, and it was impossible for him to work for anyone.
It's great to be able to be friends with him.
Zhao Min immediately wiped away the regret in her heart, stood up and called two of the Eight Heroes of the Divine Arrow, asking them to take the dragon egg to the incubation room that had taken several days to set up. Then she took Ouyang Feng out of Green Willow Manor and headed for the Xiangyang City Defense Mansion.
She did not bring the two Xuanming Elders with her this time, but the two bald men were her bodyguards.
One was a bald middle-aged man who had appeared in the picture reflected in the Tongtian Baojian. He had a fierce look and a strong build. He was none other than Asan from the Vajra Sect under Zhao Min's command.
The other bald old man was also very strong, with big hands and feet. He was Ah Er from the Vajra Sect. He was a genius who was born with supernatural powers and had developed amazing internal strength purely through external skills.
Ouyang Feng felt a little weird when listening to Zhao Min introducing these two people - in his main world, the founder of Vajra Sect, Fire Monk Wang Wu, is now his, Ouyang Feng's founding disciple.
Lvliu Manor is located in the south of Xiangyang City. After leaving the manor, walk north for more than a hundred steps and you will arrive at the city market.
But pedestrians in the market, whether men or women, even vendors and waiters, were mostly wearing short and tight clothes that were convenient for movement, and almost everyone carried knives, sticks or other weapons. Even children carried small bows and quivers.
When you get to the main street, you can see teams of strong men and women patrolling with spears, swords and shields, carrying bows and arrows. Occasionally, you can also encounter a team of strong soldiers in full armor.
The whole city gives people the feeling of a war fortress, as if everyone is ready to fight at any time.
Zhao Min was not surprised by this. She waved her folding fan twice and said to Ouyang Feng:
"Because the Semu barbarians can ride flying dragons and descend from the sky, and there are many Yingzhou people who look exactly like us but are willing to be accomplices of the Semu barbarians, they often sneak into the city to destroy it. Therefore, there is no place in the city that is absolutely safe. All the people in the city are soldiers, regardless of gender, age or status, and can go into battle at any time to defend their homes."
Ouyang Feng nodded slowly and said:
"That's right. How many people are there in Xiangyang?"
Zhao Min said, "About 200,000 soldiers and civilians."
"So many people?" Ouyang Feng asked, "How can such a large population survive?"
Zhao Min said with a smile:
"Penglai Island has good weather and fertile land, which is very suitable for farming. Rice and wheat are grown around Xiangyang. Not only are the yields extremely high, but they are also very delicious. Eating them for a long time can even strengthen the body and cure diseases. In addition, there are many birds and beasts, wild fruits and vegetables in the wild, which can be hunted and gathered.
"Thanks to the output of Penglai, the 200,000 soldiers and civilians in Xiangyang not only have no worries about survival, but Lady Huang has also built a granary and stored enough food for the entire city's soldiers and civilians to eat for a year, so they are not afraid of the enemy's siege. In short, if it weren't for the frequent harassment from foreign enemies and the uncertainty of life and death, this Penglai Island would truly be a paradise on earth for the common people."
Ouyang Feng nodded slightly. The energy of heaven and earth in this world was abundant and pure. If the land was fertile and the climate was suitable, it would be natural that the products would be abundant.
It is not uncommon to find rare treasures and even monsters and goblins in deep mountains and swamps where few people go.
"How is your training?" Ouyang Feng asked, "After arriving here, it should be easier for you to practice martial arts, right?"
Zhao Min nodded:
"It has become easier, but it depends on the person. The one with higher aptitude will make rapid progress in martial arts. The one with average aptitude will only be slightly faster than before."
The tone of her words sounded a little melancholy, and it seemed that she must be one of those with mediocre aptitude.
Ouyang Feng was not surprised by this. For those with extremely high talents, it is not that they cannot reach a higher realm, but they are limited by the environment. Even if they still have great potential, after reaching a certain limit, their progress will be slow, or even impossible to move forward.
After arriving in this world, it is like opening the shackles that lock them up. Once they get out of the cage, they can make rapid progress.
As for those with average qualifications, their potential is just so-so and they cannot even reach the upper limit of their original world. Changing the environment will not change much.
It is just like in the world of cultivating immortals, there will always be only a very small number of people who can become immortals, and the vast majority are just ordinary mortals.
We chatted all the way to the city keeper's mansion in the north of the city, and saw that the door was wide open and there were no guards. There was only an old soldier with one leg missing and wearing leather armor sitting at the door to enjoy the cool air.
Zhao Min stepped forward, bowed, and said with a smile:
"Uncle Zhao, Minmin is here to visit Hero Guo. Please let him know."
The old soldier seemed to be familiar with Zhao Min, and nodded with a smile:
"Miss Zhao, you are very polite. But this young man looks very unfamiliar to me. I wonder where he came from?"
The old soldier had a smile on his face, but he was actually very alert. He narrowed his eyes and looked Ouyang Feng up and down.
Zhao Min said: "It is a newcomer who happened to appear in my Green Willow Manor."
She emphasized the word "newcomer". The old soldier immediately understood and nodded:
"I see. No wonder it looks so unfamiliar. Miss Zhao, please wait a moment. I will go in and inform Hero Guo."
As he spoke, he picked up a crude prosthetic leg made from a stool leg from beside the chair, put it on, and limped in to report.
Before long, a man and a woman came out of the door quickly.
The man looked to be in his early thirties, with broad shoulders and a straight waist, slightly dark skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a slight mustache on his upper lip.
The woman was about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, with a very beautiful face and a pair of bright and clear eyes. She smiled and said from a distance:
"Since you're here, sister Minmin, just come in directly. Why are you being so polite?"
Zhao Min also brought the experts from Green Willow Manor to help Guo Jing and Huang Rong defend the city. The two sides had a very close relationship. Originally, Zhao Min could have gone directly to the mansion to find Guo Jing and Huang Rong, but today she was visiting with a stranger, so naturally she couldn't be so presumptuous.
He smiled and said:
"Master Guo, Miss Huang, Minmin has brought Mr. Ouyang to visit you today."
"Mr. Ouyang?"
Guo Jing and Huang Rong looked at Ouyang Feng who was beside Zhao Min, and both felt that this man's features looked vaguely familiar.
"I am Ouyang Feng."
Ouyang Feng felt a little weird when looking at the two "juniors" who were older than him.
Especially Huang Rong, the contours of her eyebrows and eyes are quite similar to those of the young Huang Yaoshi, but she is less rebellious and conceited than Huang Yaoshi, and her facial lines are softer and more beautiful.
When Guo Jing and Huang Rong heard him introduce himself, they were both stunned.
"Ouyang Feng?"
Originally the two of them felt that Ouyang Feng looked somewhat familiar. Now, after a closer look, the old Ouyang Feng in their memory would look like this if he was a few decades younger, shaved off his beard, had a calmer look in his eyes, and a gentler temperament, wouldn't he?
Even the style of the white robe he was wearing seemed to be different in only a few details.
So, the old Western Poison died, and a young Ouyang Feng came?
Although they were used to seeing people from different time and space, Guo Jing and Huang Rong still found it incredible that they were inexplicably brought to the same place because of the "bronze gate".
Can one person repeat it twice?
Guo Jing and Huang Rong looked at each other. With Guo Jing's ability to deal with such things, he really didn't know how to deal with it at this time - if he was angry, this was the young Ouyang Feng, and he had no grudge against him for killing his master. If he was not angry, he didn't know how to face it.
Having said that, even the old Ouyang Feng before had no grudge against him for killing his master.
He was still in the Western Regions, and hadn't gone to the Central Plains yet, when he came to this world with his nephew Ouyang Ke and the entire White Camel Villa. Before he could figure out the situation, his family was destroyed by Feilong. After that, Ouyang Feng was furious and took revenge, and there was no news of him anymore...
By the way, will there be another crazy version of Ouyang Feng in the future?
Huang Rong was not so entangled. She quickly adjusted her mood and said with a smile:
"It turned out to be Ouyang..."
I wanted to call him "Uncle" out of habit, but seeing that he looked young, about twenty years old, I couldn't bring myself to call him "Uncle". I could only mumble:
"So it's Mr. Ouyang... I wonder if you are here alone, or not?"
Ouyang Feng knew that Guo Jing and Huang Rong probably regarded him as the younger version of the "old poisonous creature" they were familiar with.
Even though Ouyang Feng is not the same person as the old poisonous creature, and "appearance reflects the heart", his facial features are different from those of the old poisonous creature. Because of their different cultivation methods, his temperament and body shape are also different from those of the old poisonous creature, but this difference is equivalent to that of a pair of twin brothers who grew up in different environments.
Zhao Min, who is not familiar with "Ouyang Feng, the Western Poison", might think that she and the old poisoner just have the same name.
But for Guo Jing and Huang Rong, who have had countless dealings with the old poisoner and have been repeatedly tormented, captured, and detained by him, their familiarity with the old poisoner is probably engraved in their bones.
There are some slight differences, but in the eyes of Guo Jing and Huang Rong, they are probably just caused by the age difference.
He was too lazy to pretend anymore, so he smiled and said:
"I came here alone. Also, although I am also Ouyang Feng from White Camel Mountain, I am not 'West Poison' Ouyang Feng."
After a pause, he said again:
"The Huashan Sword Contest has not yet begun, and the Five Greatest Masters of the World have not yet been ranked. Speaking of which, in my world, there may not be a Huashan Sword Contest in the future."
"..."
Not only was Guo Jing stunned, but even Huang Rong opened her eyes wide with a look of shock.
Even Zhao Min opened her mouth slightly and looked at Ouyang Feng in surprise:
It turns out that you are really the Ouyang Feng!
Ouyang Feng said again:
"Won't you invite me to come in and sit down?"
Guo Jing, who was not confused about big things but slow to react to small things, still didn't know how to respond. Huang Rong smiled sweetly and bowed as if to invite him:
"We are negligent. Please come in, Mr. Ouyang."
Ouyang Feng nodded slightly and stepped into the threshold with his hands behind his back.
Zhao Min also hurriedly followed with Ah Er and Ah San. When they looked at Ouyang Feng's back, they were filled with surprise and curiosity, just like Guo Jing and Huang Rong.
After entering the reception room of the City Guard Mansion and sitting down, Huang Rong personally made tea for the guests. Guo Jing finally organized his words and looked at the young version of Ouyang Feng with a complicated look, and asked:
"Mr. Ouyang, is my master... okay?"
Ouyang Feng took the fragrant tea offered by Huang Rong with both hands, nodded slightly to his niece who was older than him, and looked at Guo Jing again:
"Which master are you asking about?"
