Chapter 105 Deliberately embarrassing
The second floor of Yuqiong Building is very spacious, but it is completely closed around without any windows, and the wall is actually a layer of rare stone, with dense runes written on it, vaguely forming a strange formation.
"Is something really being suppressed here?" Chen Fan became even more suspicious. There was a trace of suppression in these runes, which were obviously blessing the entire tower-shaped Yuqiong Tower to suppress some kind of underground power. things, or creatures.
But Huang Cheng, Tang Xue, and even the other disciples were not surprised. They didn't seem to have a special feeling for the runes on the wall. As soon as Huang Cheng came up, he walked towards a bookshelf with ease. Go, there are countless bamboo slips on the bookshelf, and several disciples are already standing there hesitating.
And there is a small table next to the bookshelf, sitting a man and a woman, looking at something.
At this time, several disciples were holding a pile of bamboo slips and placed them on their desks. After looking up, the two of them picked out a roll, and then waved their hands. The pile of bamboo slips flew into the air instantly and flew into the on the bookshelf behind him.
Huang Cheng and Chen Fan also happened to walk to the bookshelf at this time, Huang Cheng immediately stretched out his consciousness to look at the newly arrived bamboo slips, then he frowned, retracted his consciousness, shook his head and said: "It's that again! Some time-consuming trivial matters, and the contribution points are pitifully low."
After saying that, he poked his consciousness to other positions, and immediately showed joy on his face: "Senior brother Chenfeng, these are the few volumes."
With a move of consciousness, he wanted to remove the bamboo slips, but found that he couldn't shake the bamboo slips at all.
"What's wrong?" Tang Xue sensed something was wrong and asked.
"It's strange, I can't take it off." Huang Cheng murmured suspiciously, and pointed his consciousness to the other ordinary bamboo slips. Unexpectedly, with a whoosh, the ordinary bamboo slips flew into his hand in an instant.
The doubt on his face grew stronger, and he probed his spiritual sense again, but found that he still couldn't shake the selected bamboo slips.
At this time, a disciple who was also standing next to the task selection shook his head and reminded: "Are you new disciples who just arrived? Don't waste your energy. These scrolls of bamboo slips have been placed in the past two years. No one can Shake, that's just for the people above to see, if you want a really simple and high-return task, you have to take some benefits and go to them."
After the disciple finished speaking, he raised his finger and pointed to the two people sitting at the wooden table.
"This..." Huang Cheng was stunned, and instantly understood. It turned out that after a long time of trouble, the only good tasks on this bookshelf were all fake. The really simple and high-return tasks were all kicked back by those two people. He remembered that when a pile of Hsinchu bamboo slips came over just now, the two of them picked a roll from it and put it in their storage bag.
Chen Fan had already guessed what was going on, but he remained calm and did not speak. He did not want to draw attention to this trivial matter, especially since he used a pseudonym now. month, I am afraid that the other party will start investigating him.
"Forget it, I can't come here in vain, why don't I try it with Lipei Yuan Pill?" Huang Cheng asked Chen Fan and Tang Xue in a low voice after glancing at the two monks sitting in front of the wooden table.
Tang Xue was startled when she heard the words, showing a surprised expression.
Chen Fan nodded, in his eyes, Pei Yuan Pill was nothing at all.
When Huang Cheng saw Chen Fan nodding, he had no choice but to grit his teeth, took out a small medicine bottle from his arms, walked towards the wooden table, and then talked to the man and woman about their intentions.
When the two saw Huang Cheng pouring out a pill of Peiyuan, they nodded slightly, took out a few bamboo slips from the storage bag, and said, "Pick one."
Huang Cheng finally showed a smile, looked at Chen Fan and Tang Xue and said, "Brother Chen Feng, Tang Xue, come and help me choose a task."
"Yes." After Huang Cheng answered subconsciously, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. He saw with his own eyes that Chen Fan defeated the examiner with a single sword during the test, but everyone knew that those people who were assessed were the first The core of the Eighth Peak, if Chen Fan offended them, it must be hard for the Eighth Peak.
All the new disciples deliberately kept a distance from Chen Fan, they were afraid of being dragged in, only Huang Cheng seemed not afraid of being dragged, and instead approached Chen Fan as if to please him, he seemed to have great confidence in Chen Fan's strength.
But seeing the expressions of these two disciples at this moment, Huang Cheng also guessed the reason in an instant.
"These tasks are not suitable for you, you can go to the bookshelf and choose them yourself." After receiving Huang Cheng's answer, the two disciples immediately put back the scrolls of bamboo slips on the table and said in a cold voice.
This time, they didn't even look at Huang Cheng.
Huang Cheng could only smile wryly, and said, "Forget it, but two brothers and sisters, can you return the Peiyuan Pill to me just now? That's all my savings."
"Hehe, Peiyuan Pill, what Peiyuan Pill?" The male monk smiled coldly, and looked up at Huang Cheng again.
"You..." Seeing that these two people wanted to steal his own Peiyuan Pill, Huang Cheng was furious, pointing at the two who were about to get mad, but remembered that he was no match for them at all.
"What's wrong with us? Don't worry, the rules set by our Yuqiong Tower will not be broken." The male monk sneered.
"Huh?" Huang Cheng was startled, unable to understand what the male monk said.
The male monk didn't bother to explain. He took out another roll of bamboo slips from the storage bag, threw it in front of Huang Cheng, and said, "I accepted the elixir, and I also gave the bamboo slips. This cooperation is over."
Huang Cheng frowned, picked up the scroll of jade slips, took a look at it with his spiritual sense, then became furious, pointed at the male monk and said: "You guys are too deceitful."
Chen Fan's eyes also turned cold, his consciousness had penetrated into the scroll of bamboo slips in Huang Cheng's hand, and the task in it shocked him a bit, it was actually a task with up to 1,000 contribution points, but the task required, But it is extremely harsh.
"Ask the head of the Sixth Peak Tianfu Hall for the elixir he owes? We can't even go up the seventh peak, how can we go to the sixth peak?" Huang Cheng said angrily.
"It's up to you to find a way, otherwise, how could there be such a high contribution point reward? We have established rules in Yuqiong Tower for many years, and we have always kept our word. I will give you the mission, as for the mission, it is up to you to pick and choose, whether you like it or not." The female monk glanced at Huang Cheng in disgust, and said coldly.
"You..." Huang Cheng was furious, but he didn't know what to say anymore. He knew that the dumb man would suffer for himself.
"Is it possible to choose the bamboo slips on the top?" At this moment, a flat voice suddenly came.
Huang Cheng was taken aback for a moment, he knew it was Chen Fan's voice, he couldn't help but looked at Chen Fan, and secretly said happily: "Could it be that Brother Chen Feng wants to stand up for me?"
"Hmph, that's right, as long as it's the bamboo slips on this bookshelf, you can choose." The male monk sneered and said disdainfully.
The female disciple next to her also showed a mocking smile, shook her head and said: "If you want to pay attention to those scrolls of bamboo slips, you are making a big mistake. I am not afraid to tell you that those scrolls of bamboo slips have been sealed by the strong. If it's you, even if the new peak master Gao Yueyue comes, he won't be able to take it down."
"Really?" Chen Fan's voice was flat, he walked slowly to the bookshelf, and reached out to touch the scrolls of bamboo slips.
